Frequently Asked Questions - J208D17 JONSERED

What type of gasoline to use in the Jonsered J208D17 tiller?

Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87. Gasoline may contain up to 10% ethanol (E10). Using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol voids the warranty.

How to start the engine of the tiller?

Ensure the drive control bar is in the stop position. Set the shift lever to neutral (N). Place the throttle control on 'FAST' and the choke on 'CHOKE'. Pull the starter rope with a continuous rapid motion. Once the engine is warm, reduce the choke gradually.

What is the recommended tire pressure?

The recommended pressure for both tires is 20 PSI (1.4 kg/cm²). Even pressure ensures optimal tilling.

How to adjust the tilling depth?

Use the depth gauge located at the rear. Release the clamp, raise or lower the gauge to the desired depth (1 to 6 inches), then retighten the clamp. For deep tilling, set the throttle control to 'FAST'.

How often to change the engine oil?

Change the oil every 25 hours of use or at least once a year. Use SAE 30 (above 0°C) or 5W-30 (below 0°C) API SG-SL grade oil. Drain the oil while warm for easier operation.

How to clean the air filter?

The foam pre-filter can be cleaned with soapy water every 25 hours. The paper cartridge can be cleaned by tapping lightly every 100 hours. Replace if very dirty. Do not use petroleum solvents.

What to do if the tiller vibrates abnormally?

Stop the engine immediately and find the cause. Excessive vibrations indicate a technical problem: check the tines, belts, and fasteners. If necessary, contact an authorized service center.

How to replace the drive belt?

Disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove the belt guard (screws and nut). Remove the old belt from the pulleys. Install the new belt in the grooves of the engine and transmission pulleys, passing through the idler pulley. Adjust tension with the clutch cable (spring extension of 5/8 in). Reinstall the guard.

What are the essential safety precautions?

Read the manual before use. Never allow children to use the machine. Wear sturdy shoes and eye protection. Disconnect the spark plug wire before any maintenance. Never refuel with a hot engine. Keep people and animals away. Do not use without safety shields.

How to store the tiller at the end of season?

Drain the gasoline tank and carburetor (or add a stabilizer). Drain the oil and replace it. Remove the spark plug, pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder and pull the starter. Clean the machine, lubricate pivot points. Store in a dry place and cover with an impermeable cover (not plastic).

OPERATION

ADD GASOLINE

- Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow for fuel expansion. If gasoline is ac ci den tal ly spilled, move machine away from area of spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have disappeared.

Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.

IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GAS O LINE TO HELP INSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER START ING.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas o-hol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 14)

CAUTION: Keep drive control bar in "DISENGAGED" position when starting en gine.

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.

• Make sure spark plug wire is proper ly connected.
• Move shift lever indicator to "N" (neutral) position.
• Place throttle control in "FAST" position.
• 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 com pres sion cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point).
• Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter handle snap back against starter. Repeat if necessary.
• If engine fires but does not start, move choke control to half choke position. Pull recoil starter handle until engine starts.
• When engine starts, slowly move choke control to "RUN" position as engine warms up.

NOTE: A warm engine requires less choking to start.

• Move throttle control to desired running position.
• 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), the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be adjusted for best engine performance. If you think the fuel mixture needs adjusting, contact your nearest authorized service center/department, which has the proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

NOTE: If engine does not start, see troubleshooting points.

TILLING HINTS (See Fig. 15)

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 planting. Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth. Best tilling depth is 4" to 6" (10-15 cm). A tiller will also clear the soil of unwanted vegetation. The decomposition of this vegetable matter enriches the soil. Depending on the climate (rain fall and wind), it may be advisable to till the soil at the end of the growing season to further condition the soil.
• You will find tilling much easier if you leave a row un-tilled between passes. Then go back between tilled rows. (See Fig. 14) There are two reasons for doing this. First, wide turns are much easier to negotiate than about-faces. Second, the tiller won't be pulling itself, and you, toward the row next to it.
• 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 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, re move vines and long grass to prevent them from wrapping around the tine shaft and slowing your tilling operation.

OPERATION

- 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.

FIG. 15

CULTIVATING

Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to prevent them from robbing nourishment and moisture from the plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer of soil crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best digging depth is 1" to 3" (2.5-7.5 cm). Lower the outer side shields to protect small plants from being buried.

• Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will allow tines to uproot weeds and leave the ground in rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds and grass (See 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.

FIG. 16

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.
• Repeat preceding steps on left hand side.

NOTE: In extremely rough conditions and while cultivating, the wheels should be moved outward on the axle for increased stability.

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. Add SAE 30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil filler plug securely each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 19 and 20)

• Be sure tiller is on level surface.
  • Oil will drain more freely when warm.
• Use a funnel to prevent oil spill on tiller, and catch oil in a suitable container.
• Remove drain plug.
• For easier removal of plug use 7/16 12 Pt. socket with extension.
  • Tip tiller forward to drain oil.
  • After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug and tighten securely.
• Remove oil filler plug. Be careful not to allow dirt to enter the engine.

MUFFLER

Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not tamper with exhaust system. Damaged mufflers or spark arresters could create a fire hazard. Inspect pe ri odi cally and re place if nec es sary. If your engine is equipped with a spark arrester screen assembly, re move every 50 hours for cleaning and inspection. Re place if dam aged.

SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each tilling season or after every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in "PRODUCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS" on page 3 of this manual.

TRANSMISSION

Once a season, lubricate the right hand side gear case grease fitting with 1 oz. of EP #1 Grease.

CLEANING

Do not clean your tiller when the engine and transmission are hot. We do not rec om mend using pressurized water (gar den hose, etc.) to clean your unit un less the gasket area around the trans mis sion and the engine muf fler, air filter and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in en gine will short en the useful life of your tiller.

• Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all foreign matter.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gas o line, oil, etc.
• Protect painted surfaces with au to mo tive type wax.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come into contact with plug.

TILLER

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 27, 28 and 29)

CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear gloves or other protection when handling tines.

A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig more shallow. Most important, worn tines cannot chop and shred organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as good tines. A tine this worn needs to be replaced.

• To maintain the superb tilling performance of this machine the tines should be checked for sharpness, wear, and bending, particularly the tines which are next to the transmission. If the gap between the tines ex ceeds 3-1/2" they should be replaced or straightened as necessary.
• For tines that are slightly worn, the bolt ed tine and hub assemblies can be switched between sides to continue till ing in the same tilling mode if tilling in a different mode is desired then the bolt ed tine and hub assemblies should be switched back to their original side so that the tine edge with the least wear will be used.

TO AD JUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been preset at the factory and is not adjustable.

IMPORTANT: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE GOVERNOR, WHICH IS FACTORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEED ING THE ENGINE ABOVE THE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE DANGEROUS. IF YOU THINK THE ENGINE-GOVERNED HIGH SPEED NEEDS ADJUSTING, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER/DEPARTMENT, WHICH HAS THE PROPER EQUIP MENT AND EXPERIENCE TO MAKE ANY NEC ES SARY ADJUSTMENTS.

STORAGE

Immediately prepare your tiller for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

CAUTION: Never store the tiller with gasoline in the tank inside a build ing where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

TILLER

• Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section of this manual).
• Inspect and replace belts, if nec es sary (See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
• Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this manual.
• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, break age and wear. Replace if necessary.
• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent.
• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

• Remove spark plug.
• Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole into cylinder.
• Pull starter handle slowly several times to distribute oil.
• Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give protection from dust and dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable pro tec tive cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which allows con den sa tion to form and will cause your unit to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TILLER WHILE ENGINE AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
