PREPARATION BEFORE STARTING

The engine has been shipped from the factory without oil and gasoline. Therefore it is essential that the Preparation Before Starting instructions on this page be strictly followed.

FILLING WITH OIL

1. Place Tiller on a level surface. This is very important. If the Tiller is tilted in one direction the oil level will be too low; if tilted in the other direction, the oil level will be too high. Make sure the area around the filler plug is clean, and remove the plug.
2. Using a funnel, slowly pour a good grade of MS, SC, or SD classification SAE 10W-40 oil into the crankcase to the point of overflowing. The capacity of the crankcase is approximately 1-1/4 pints.

Fig. 7

1. After the proper amount of oil has been added, replace the oil filler plug.
2. Change oil after the first 5 hours of operation and check oil level after 5 operating hours or each time the Tiller is used
3. After the first change, the oil should be changed every 25 hours of operation. (See Changing Engine Oil, page 8).
4. Check transmission oil level, making sure that Tiller is level. If oil is not at the point of overflowing, add a good grade of No. 90 gear oil. Change transmission oil once a year. (See Changing Transmission Oil page 9.)

Fig. 8

FILLING WITH GASOLINE

Fill the gasoline tank with a fresh supply of the new automotive anti-pollution unleaded regular gasoline or regular gasoline

CAUTION! Handle gasoline with care - it is highly flammable. Do not add gasoline to your Tiller in an enclosed area. Fill gasoline tank outdoors and wipe up spilled gasoline. Do not add gasoline while the engine is hot or running. Keep gasoline and storage cans clean. Use an approved container. Do not smoke when adding gasoline. Keep the area around the tank cap free of debris.

The fuel tank capacity on the 3 H.P. Tiller is approximately two quarts, on the 4 and 5 H.P. Tillers, approximately three quarts

DO NOT MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE. DO NOT USE PREMIUM GASOLINE, WHITE STOVE GAS, OR GASOLINE ADDITIVES.

Remove air cleaner (See Servicing Air Cleaner, page 8), and make sure foam element is lightly oiled.

KNOW YOUR CONTROLS

To engage the clutch, push the lever forward until locked into position. To disengage, pull the lever back and allow it to fall into the neutral position. By exerting continuous downward pressure on the lever, the unit will be in reverse. This will aid in freeing tines of tangled weeds, getting rid of foreign objects that might be jammed against the Tiller, and for backing out of tight places.

The throttle control positions are clearly marked on the cover plate. See Operating Instructions.

Fig. 10

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING

1. Ensure that the spark plug lead wire is connected to the spark plug.
2. Clutch MUST be disengaged.
3. Push throttle control lever to CHOKE position.

Fig. 97

1. Pull recoil starter rope quickly. Keep a firm grip on the handle and return the rope slowly. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO SNAP BACK.

2. When engine starts, move throttle control level between FAST and IDLE positions.

3. If engine tends to die, move throttle lever to CHOKE position until engine begins to run smoothly

4. Return nrottle lever between FAST and IDLE

STOPPING AND EMERGENCY STOPPING

To stop the engine, pull throttle control lever back to STOP position.

TRANSPORT POSITION (DEPTH GAUGE BAR)

For transporting the Tiller, swing the depth gauge bar forward between the wheels and secure with the latch as shown in Fig. 12.

Fig. 12

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

DEPTH GAUGE BAR USE

When the depth gauge bar drags in the loosened soil, it holds the tiller back, keeping the tines digging to the proper depth. This saves the operator most of the effort of holding the tiller back while it is tilling soil.

When first breaking into untilled soil, hold tiller back manually and allow tiller to turn up hard soil. After enough soil has been loosened to allow depth gauge bar to drag in tilled soil, set bar to desired depth. Proper depth of the gauge bar depends on soil moisture, looseness, and how deep you want the tines to dig. The deeper the bar is set, the deeper the tines will dig. Therefore, depth of the bar should be determined each time the tiller is used. With a little experience, depth can be judged quickly. Proper depth is obtained when operator only has to guide the tiller.

Fig. 13

OPERATING TIPS

Rotary tillage prepares garden soil for planting, in one or two operations. Your tiller will effectively do this job for you with a minimum of effort.

The time for using your tiller is governed by conditions of moisture and firmness of the soil. Soil conditions vary widely. It is best not to till the soil when it is too wet or too dry. When it is too wet, the tilled soil tends to ball up into lumps that are hard to work when they dry.

For spring break-up, or when breaking up new areas, set the unit for deep tilling.

Your tiller is not limited to garden usage. Use it to prepare flower beds and lawn areas for planting. You can operate it to dig as deeply or as lightly as you want. When you have dirt to dig or light grading to do, don't break your back with a pick and shovel. Let your tiller loosen the dirt for you.

As you become familiar with the tiller, you'll discover that it has many other uses.

TILLING PATTERN

Where possible, we recommend tilling in a pattern similar to that shown in Fig. 14. Make the first pass, then skip space equal to the width of the Tiller, and make the return pass. Then, till the skipped area. Tilling in this pattern will enable you to maintain better control. If the passes were made side-by-side, the Tiller would tend to pull toward the tilled (soft) side.

TILLING DEPTH

The tilling depth may be adjusted by loosening the adjustment screw. This allows the notch on tiller drawbar to be adjusted to the shallow or deep setting shown on the side of the axle bracket. The shallow position is best for transport.

The axle has two slots for the notch on the tiller drawbar to position itself in. Be sure notch is in slot before tightening adjustment screw.

The roll pin in the axle can be used as a pointer to indicate shallow or deep setting of tiller.

IMPORTANT: Do not run engine with the air cleaner disassembled, or without the polyurethane element in place.

Fig 23

CHANGING ENGINE OIL

Change oil after the first 5 hours of operation and thereafter every 25 hours of operation as follows.

1. Drain oil while the engine is warm. Dirt and sludge will be held in suspension and will drain with the oil
2. Clean the area around the filler and drain plugs and remove the plugs
3. Allow the oil to drain into a shallow pan. Be sure the oil drains completely
   4 Replace drain plug and refill crankcase with fresh oil (See Filling With Oil, page 4)

Fig. 24

ENGINE COOLING

KEEP THE ENGINE CLEAN. This is an air-cooled engine and clogging of the cooling system may cause serious damage. Keep the blower fins on the flywheel, blower screen, the cylinder and cylinder head free from dirt and foreign material

MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)

CHANGING TRANSMISSION OIL

Change transmission oil once each year. Drain after Tiller has been in operation, oil will be warm and will drain easily

1. Remove gasoline from tank to prevent spilling when unit is tipped to drain oil.
2. Position Tiller on a flat level surface.
3. Remove filler plug.
4. Tip Tiller forward and allow oil to drain into a container. Be sure oil drains completely.
5. Refill with a good grade of SAE 90 gear oil. Replace filler plug

Fig. 20

CHANGING TILLING SPEED

Models 58114 & 58125 (4 H.P.). 58220 & 58231 (5 H.P.) only.

The Tiller is shipped with the belt in the fast position. To reduce the speed, first REMOVE THE SPARK PLUG LEAD WIRE and secure it in the V-shaped notch. (See Fig. 21). Remove the pulley cover, and move the large belt to the adjacent set of forward pulleys (small top pulley and large bottom pulley). Replace pulley cover DO NOT CHANGE BELTS WHILE THE ENGINE IS OPERATING.

When the belt is on the set of pulleys closest to the engine, the tines revolve less rapidly for better cultivation of small plants.

Fig.28

After some time, belt wear will occur, causing drive belt slippage, resulting in improper clutch operation. The spring in the clutch linkage allows considerable belt wear before an adjustment is necessary. To adjust, proceed as follows

1. Remove the pulley cover.
2. Three flat washers have been assembled on the engine mounting bolts at the factory.
3. Remove the engine mounting bolts and move one of the washers on each bolt from under the Tiller casting to the top of the casting (between the casting and the plant shield). Replace the engine mounting bolts.
4. If one washer does not give sufficient belt adjustment, use 2 or 3 washers on each bolt.

IMPORTANT: Use the same number of washers on each engine mounting bolt. If this instruction is not followed, the engine base or Tiller casting may break.

Fig. 27

THROTTLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

Use the following steps to adjust the throttle control cable at the carburetor:

1. Move the throttle control lever on the control panel as far forward as possible (CHOKE position).
2. Loosen throttle control cable clamp screw (on carburetor) so cable can move freely.
3. Move control casing forward as far as possible on 4 & 5 H.P. models; on 3 H.P. model, move casing up
4. Secure cable clamp and casing with screw.
5. Start engine. Make sure engine will stop when throttle control is moved to STOP position. Readjust cable casing as necessary.

Fig. 28

MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)

SPARK PLUG

Use spark plug of the type specified below for replacement. Clean and reset the gap at 030 inch every 25 hours of operation. Apply light coating of graphite grease on threads before replacing plug. If plug is pitted or cannot be cleaned easily, install a new plug.

Fig. 29

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load. Adjust carburetor with tank half full of regular grade gasoline

Initial Adjustment: Close needle valve (turn clockwise). Do not force valve against seat or both seat and valve could be damaged. Then open the valve 1-1/2 turns (counterclockwise). This initial adjustment will permit the engine to be started and warmed up before making the final adjustment.

Final Adjustment With engine running at normal operating speed (approximately 3000 RPM without load) close the needle valve (turn clockwise) until engine starts to lose speed (lean mixture). Then slowly open needle valve (turn counterclockwise), past the point of smoothest operation, until engine just begins to run evenly. This mixture should be rich enough for best performance under load.

Hold throttle in idling position. Turn idle adjusting screw until fast idle is obtained (1750 RPM).

Test the engine under full load. If engine tends to stall or die out, it usually indicates that the mixture is slightly lean and it may be necessary to open the needle valve slightly to provide a richer mixture. This richer mixture may cause a slight unevenness in idling.
