[. . . ] Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets. PREPARATION • • • • • • • • • • Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all foreign objects. Disengage all clutches and shift into neutral before starting the engine (motor). Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate outer garments. [. . . ] Tines will not readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may contribute to excessive bounce and difficult handling of your tiller. Hard soil should be moistened 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. 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. Fig. 16 • • Do not lean on handle, this takes weight off the wheels, reduces traction, and may cause the tiller to skip over the ground. Always lower the drag stake when using the forward rotating tine drive. • • ADJUST WHEELS FOR CULTIVATING (See Figs. 17 and 18) • • Place blocks under right hand side of tiller and remove hairpin clip and clevis pin from right hand wheel. • Move wheel outward approximately 1 inch until hole in inner wheel hub lines up with inner hole in axle. • Replace clevis pin and hairpin clip on inside of wheel and remove blocks. Clean by tapping gently on a flat surface. NOTE: If very dirty or damaged, replace cartridge. CAUTION: Petroleum solvents, such as kerosene, are not to be used to clean cartridge. They may cause deterioration of the cartridge. Do not use pressurized air to clean or dry cartridge. TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE Fig. 19 NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc. ) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 40°F (4°C). Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil. Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least once a year if the tiller is not used for 25 hours in one year. Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil filler plug securely each time you check the oil level. 19 and 20) • Be sure tiller is on level surface. [. . . ] Normal wear, tear or abuse is not covered under warranty.
