This equipment does not include a spark arresting muffler. Under California Law, you are not permitted to operate an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest covered, brush covered, or grass covered land, or land covered with grain, hay, or other flammable agri- cultural crop, without an engine spark arrestor in continuous effective working order. The engine on your Tiller/Culti- vator, like most garden equipment, is an internal combustion engine that burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel; there- fore, it must be equipped with a spark arrestor muffler in proper working order. The spark arrestor must be attached to the engine exhaust system in such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite flammable mate- ral. Failure of the operator to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanor under California Law.

REMOVE OBSTRUCTIONS. CLEAN UNIT AFTER

EACH OPERATION. *ALWAYS CLEAN UNIT AFTER EACH OPERATION. This includes removing any string, wire, vegetation or other obstructions that have wrapped around the tine shaft. ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE LUBRICATION OF TRANSMISSION (See Fig. 12) (Transmission is pre-lubricated at the factory.) Lubricate transmission after every 100 hours of use, if you see no grease at air vent hole. Replacement grease should be a high quality petroleum based grease usually available in disposable guns at most hardware or automotive parts stores. To lubricate transmission, proceed as follows:

1. Lay tiller on left side so that the tine shaît is vertical.

2. Wearing heavy gloves, remove both right side tines.

4. Remove air vent screw and fill hole screw from

5. Fill transmission by using grease gun or grease

applicator at the fill hole screw opening. Push gun or applicator against the opening so as to "seal" the nozzle of the gun or applicator against the casting embossment. Apply grease until you see the grease at the air vent hole. Re-install air vent screw and fill hole screw.

7. Re-install dust cap.

8. Place a few drops of oil on tine shaft before installing

9. Wearing heavy gloves, re-install tines. (For tine

pattern, refer to Fig. 16 on page 11)

Clean and re-oil every 3 months or every 25 operating hours, whichever comes first. Clean daily if used in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. MAIN BODY FOAM FILTER Fig. 13 KEEP YOUR AIR FILTER CLEAN! In a new machine, your filter should be clean. However, after you have used this machine for a while, your filter will accumulate dirt and dust. Check the condition of your filter frequently. A dirty or clogged filter element will restrict the air flow to the carburetor, thus changing the air-fuel mix. This will create symptoms often mistaken for the carburetor being out of proper adjustment. To clean the filter, follow these steps:

1. Loosen and remove two screws from cover.

2. Remove COVER, SCREEN, and FOAM FILTER

8. Inspect SCREEN(S) and FOAM FILTER for

discoloration or dirt accumulation. Clean if either is present.

a) Wash SCREEN in water and detergent solution. b) Rinse thoroughly in clean water, then air dry.

TO CLEAN AND RE-OIL FOAM FILTER

a) Wash FOAM FILTER in water and detergent solution and squeeze (don't twist) until all dirt is removed. b) Rinse thoroughly in clear water. c) Wrap in a clean cloth and squeeze (don't twist) until completely dry. d) Saturate FOAM FILTER with clean engine oil, squeeze (don't twist) to distribute oil and remove excess oil.

4. Clean inside of COVER and BODY thoroughly.

5. Reassemble AIR CLEANER as shown in Fig. 18.

030 GAP -» || SPARK PLUG Fig. 14 Clean area around SPARK PLUG base. Remove and inspect SPARK PLUG. Replace SPARK PLUG if ELECTRODES are pitted or burned or if PORCELAIN is cracked. Replace as follows: For TC300 use Champion RCJ8Y or equivalent. NOTE: In Canada, replace spark plug with a resistor plug.

4. If reusing SPARK PLUG, clean it by carefully

scraping ELECTRODES (don't wire brush or sand blast). Be sure entire SPARK PLUG is clean.

5. Check ELECTRODES GAP with wire feeler gauge

and set gap at .030 if necessary.

6. Install SPARK PLUG in engine and tighten to 15 foot

Note that all four tines of this unit are different and must be installed correcily or tiller will not function properly. Tines will wear and become quite sharp. Be very careful when replacing tines. If tines are being replaced due to wear, all four tines should be replaced as a set. (See Fig. 15) A ALWAYS MOVE SWITCH TO “O” POSITION AND REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRE BEFORE RE- PLACING TINES.

1. Remove hairpin cotter from tine shafts.

2. Wearing heavy gloves, remove tines.

8. Clean tine shaft. Apply a few drops of oil.

4. For regular tine pattern, install inboard tines, being 5. Install outboard tines, again being careful to install

(NOTE: tiller. (NOTE: Inboard tines have tines formed in Outboard tines have tines formed in one direction.) opposite direction.) 6. Install hairpin cotters through holes in shañt. TINE PATTERNS FOR STONY OR ROCKY SOIL (See Fig. 16) If you are tilling in stony or rocky soil, and experience continual rock jams, there are two additional tine patterns that will help alleviate the problem.

Wearing heavy gloves, remove tines and re-install in one of the two stony soil patterns shown in Fig. 16. If you experience difficulty in removing tines, as a result of dirt or other foreign matter on shaft, you may wish to apply a penetrating oil on the shaït. When re-installing the tines make sure tine shaft and tine hubs are clean and free of foreign material. The tines should easily slide onto the shaft. "DO NOT FORCE THE TINES ONTO THE SHAFT." REGULAR TINE PATTERN STONY SOIL PATTERN (a) STONY SOIL PATTERN (b) PALIN PTIT

UNTILLED UNTILLED UNTILLED

Fig. 16 NOTE: In the stony soil tine patterns the center gap is wider than in regular tine pattern, see Fig. 16. This will require additional passes to till this untilled area. } STRAIGHT PORTION When the tines are properly mounted, the angled portions of the tine blade should enter the soil first, not the straight portions, see Fig. 17.

NARROW CULTIVATING The two outer tines can be removed to give you a narrower cultivating width. This width is approximately 6". This will give you the ability to get between very closely spaced plants. In order to do this, pull the hairpin out of the hole in the outboard end of the tine shaït. Slide the tines off the tine shaft and place a tine spacer, included with your tiller, over the tine shaft. Secure the spacer with the hairpin cotter in the outer hole. THROTTLE CABLE INSPECTION (See Fig. 18) Verify that the throtile trigger operates smoothly, releases properly and the throttle cable is undamaged. If there is visible damage, or if the throtile lever does not operate smoothly or release properly, take your tiller to an authorized service center.

THE DANGER OF PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL VOID ENGINE WARRANTY. If you think the engine governed high speed needs adjusting, contact your nearby authorized Tecumseh Service Dealer, who has the proper equipment and experience to make neces- sary adjustments. FN DANGER! â NEVER STORE UNIT WITH GASOLINE IN THE TANK IN A BUILDING WHERE FUMES MAY REACH AN OPEN FLAME OR SPARK. â BE SURE ENGINE HAS COOLED BEFORE STORING IN ANY ENCLOSURE. WHEN STORING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME... Drain the fuel from the tank and run the engine until it stops. By clearing the carburetor you eliminate the pos- sibility of varnish deposits that build up in the carburetor when the fuel mixture is allowed to remain in the carbu- retor and tank for a longer period of time. Also, remove the spark plug and insert approximately on teaspoon of oil (this may be the same oil as used in the fuel mix) di- recily into the cylinder. Pull the recoil rope/starter several times to distribute the oil over the cylinder walls, then re- place the spark plug. Cover the powerhead by wrapping it with a plastic bag, etc., and store in a dry place. Some owners prefer to hang the unit on the wall to reduce the possibility of damage. CLEARING THE TANK AND CARBURETOR OF FUEL WHEN STORING WILL MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL DIF- FERENCE IN STARTING THE ENGINE THE NEXT TIME THE MACHINE IS USED!
