SHUTTING DOWN
To stop wheels and tines at any time, release clutch control lever to neutral position.
To stop the engine at any time, turn engine switch to the o position.
TILLING
1. Adjust the depth regulator lever to desired tilling depth.
WARNING
Raise depth regulator up one hole at a time, testing tiller operation after each raise.
Raising depth regulator too high can result in loss of control of tiller!
2. Move the throttle control to fast.
3. Place the tiller in forward by pushing down on the clutch control lever
(FORWARD)--this will engage the wheels and tines.
NOTE: You can slow the tiller’s forward advance at any time by putting slight
downward pressure on the handlebars. You can stop the tiller by releasing the drive
safety control levers to the neutral position.
NOTICE
Always press the forward or reverse clutch levers down completely onto the handle
bar. Failure to do so may result in excessive drive belt wear and premature drive belt
failure.
WARNING
Temperature of muer and nearby areas may exceed 150°F. Avoid these areas. Do
not move choke control to stop engine, backfire or engine damage may occur. To
stop wheels and tines at any time, release clutch control levers to neutral position.
Always release clutch control levers to neutral position AND STOP THE ENGINE
before adjusting the depth of the regulator lever.
DANGER
Engine and surrounding parts become extremely hot during normal use and will
cause serious burn injuries if touched before the engine has cooled. Allow engine to
cool completely before touching these hot surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Practice operating the controls and tiller with tines out of ground
before beginning to till. It is important that you know how to use the tiller
properly, keep control at all times, stop the tines and wheels from turning, and
stop the engine if necessary. If you do not know how to do these things, read the
controls, adjustments and safety sections before proceeding.
