C
Idle Speed
Use the ˝low˝ position on the throttle lever to reduce stress on
the engine when tilling is not being performed. Lowering the
engine speed to ˝idle˝ will help extend the life of the engine,
as well as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the
equipment.
D
Operating Speed
For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to ˝fast˝.
E
Shutting Down
To stop the engine at any time, turn engine ON/OFF switch to
the off position. To stop wheels and tines at any time, release
drive safety control levers to neutral position.
F
Tilling
1. Adjust the depth regulator lever to desired tilling depth.
WARNING
NOTE: Raise depth regulator lever up one hole at a time,
testing tiller operation after each raise. Raising depth regulator
lever 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 drive
safety 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.
CAUTION
Always press the forward or reverse drive levers down
completely onto the handle bar grips. Failure to do so may
result in excessive drive belt wear and premature drive belt
failure.

WARNING
Temperature of muffler and near by areas may exceed 150˚F.
Avoid these areas. Do not move choke control to choke to stop
engine, backfire or engine damage may occur. To stop wheels
and tines at any time, release drive safety control levers to neutral
position. Always release drive safety control levers to neutral posi-
tion AND STOP THE ENGINE before adjusting the depth of the
regulator lever.
DANGER
Engine and surrounding parts become extremely hot during nor-
mal use and will cause serious burn injuries if touched before the
engine has cooled. Allow engine to cool completely before touch-
ing these hot surfaces.
Practice operating the controls and tiller with tines out
IMPORTANT:
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, adjust-
ments and safety sections before proceeding.
