TO START
ENGINE
_CAUTION:
Keep drive control
bar in
"DISENGAGED"
position when starting
engine.
When starting
engine for the first time or if
engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra
pulls of the recoil starter to move fuel from
the tank to the engine.
1, Make sure spark plug wire is properly
connecte&
2_ Move shift lever indicator
to "N" (neu-
tral) position,
3,
Place throttle
control
in "FAST"
posi-
tion_
4,
Turn fuel shut-off
valve 1/4 turn to open
position,
5,
Move choke control to choke position.
6,
Grasp recoil starter
handle with one
hand and grasp tiller handle with other
hand. Pull rope out slowly
until engine
reaches
start of compression
cycle
(rope will pull slightly
harder at this
point),
7.
Pull recoil starter
handle quickly,
Do
not let starter handle snap back
against starter,
NOTE;
if engine fires but does not start,
move choke control to half choke posi-
tion, Pull recoil starter
handle until engine
starts.
8, When engine starts,
slowly move
choke control to "RUN" position
as
engine warms
up.
NOTE:
A warm engine
requires
less
choking to start,
9.
Move throttle
control to desired
running
position,
10, Allow engine to warm up for a few
minutes
before engaging
tines,
NOTE:
If at a high aJt_"tude (3000 feet) or
in cold temperatures
(below 32°F), the
carburetor
fuel mixture
may need to be
adjusted
for best engine
performance,
See "TO ADJUST
CARBURETOR"
in the
Service and Adjustments
section
of this
manual.
NOTE:
If engine does not start, see trou-
bleshooting
points,
TILLING
HINTS
_IbCAUTION:
Until you are accustomed
to handling
your tiller, start actual field
use with throttle
in slow position
(mid-way
between
"FAST" and "IDLE").
• Tilling is digging
into, turning
over, and
breaking
up packed soil before plant-
ing_ Loose, unpacked
soil helps root
growth.
Best tilling depth is 4" to 6". A
tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted
vegetation_
The decomposition
of this
vegetable
matter enriches
the soil.
Depending
on the climate
(rainfall
and
wind), it may be advisable
to till the soil
at the end of the growing
season to
further
condition
the soil
• Soil conditions
are important
for proper
titling. Tines will not readily
penetrate
dry, hard soil which may contribute
to
excessive
bounce
and difficult
handling
of your tiller_ Hard soil should
be mois-
tened
before tilling;
however,
extremely
wet soil will "ball-up"
or clump during titl-
ing. Wait until the soil is less wet in order
to achieve
the best results. When tilling
in the fall, remove
vines and long grass
to prevent them from wrapping
around
the tine shaft and slowing
your tilling
operation.
• You will find tilling much easier if you
leave a row untilled
between
passes°
Then go back between
tilled rows.There
are two reasons
for doing this. First,
wide turns are much easier to negoti-
ate than about-faces.
Second,
the tiller
won't be pulling
itself, and you, toward
the row next to it.
• Do not lean on handle.
This takes
weight off the wheels
and reduces
traction°
To get through
a really tough
section
of sod or hard ground,
apply
upward
pressure
on handle or Iower the
depth stake.
