TO START ENGINE
_CAUTION:
Keep tine control
in "OFF"
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
connected.
2.
Place throttle
control
in "FAST"
posi-
tion.
3.
Move choke
control
to full "CHOKE"
position.
Grasp
recoil
starter
handle
with one hand and grasp
tiller handle
with other
hand.
Pull rope out slowly
until engine
reaches
start of compres-
sion cycle
(rope will pull slightly
harder
at this point).
4.
Pull recoil
starter
handle
quickly.
Do not let starter
handle
snap
back
against
starter.
Repeat
if necessary.
NOTE:
If engine
fires but does
not start,
move
choke
control
to half choke
posi-
tion.
Pull recoil
starter
handle
until engine
starts.
5.
When
engine
starts,
slowly
move
choke
control
to "RUN"
position
as
engine
warms
up.
NOTE:
A warm
engine
requires
less
choking
to start.
6.
Move throttle
control
to desired
run-
ning position.
7.
Allow
engine
to warm
up for a few
minutes
before
engaging
tines.
NOTE:
If at a high altitude
(3000 feet) or
in cold temperatures
(below
32°F/0°C),
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
troubleshooting
points.

TILLING
HINTS
_CAUTION:
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
tilling.
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
tilling.
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 lower
the
depth
stake.
