5.4 Lever for Forward & Reverse Speed
The transmission offers a choice of fast & slow speed in forward direction. The drive gears
are available through a rod on the left side of the handlebar. Forward and reverse are
controlled with the red lever on the right top of the handlebar.
On each of these models, a PTO/ reverse lockout device prevents shifting into reverse with
the tiller engaged. But the lockout disengages automatically during operation with a front
mount attachment on the unit. When a front mount attachment is on the unit, the third
gear (transport gear) is blocked out.
5.3 Main Clutch Lever
The main clutch lever engages and disengages the transmission that drives the blades. It is

6.2 Engine Oil Change Procedure
Place MINT on flat surface, remove sump drain plug & engine oil filler cap / dipstick.
Drain the old/ used oil and collect it in a container while the engine is warm to assure rapid
and complete draining.
After complete oil drain out, tighten the drain plug securely.
Fill recommended, new engine oil to the outer edge of the oil filler hole. Use funnel to avoid
oil spilling.
Reinstall oil filler cap & tighten.
After completing the process, start engine for 2-3 minutes for complete oil circulations.

Step 2 - Dispose old oil from bowl & wipe out dust particles from bowl by use of clean cloth.
Step 3 - Fill new recommended oil into the oil bath bowl.
Step 4 - Clean filter elements with diesel or kerosene & reinstall. If filter elements are
damaged, replace with new one.
Step 5 - Reinstall oil bath bowl & tighten filter bowl clamps.
Note: Operating engine with dusty oil or damaged filter element causes engine
performance.
6.4 Transmission Oil Change Procedure xPlace MINT on flat surface & keep oil container
tray at bottom of gear box to collect old oil.
• Drain out transmission oil by removing
transmission drain plug and oil filer cap
• After complete oil drain out, reinstall the drain
plug securely & fill recommended transmission
oil into the gear box. Use funnel to avoid oil
spilling.
• Use oil filler gun or oil applicator to avoid oil
spilling.
• After complete of process, reinstall oil filler
cap.
•To check transmission oil level, remove oil level filler cap provided at top side of gear box assy.
• When it drops near the low mark add oil, but do not fill above the full mark.
•Put
the dipstick back into the filler hole and twist the stick around so the flat side is toward the
cente

6.7 Maintenance Program
1. Refer to the maintenance instructions and illustrations in the "Use and Maintenance"
manual furnished for your model engine. Change oil, filters, etc., and clean the cylinder fins
and crankcase breather as instructed in the engine manual.
2. Daily Clean-Up:
When the machine is very dirty you may hose down everything except the engine
immediately after use. But to avoid cracking the engine, you must let it cool before hosing it
down. You may, however, idle the engine until it is warm enough to evaporate the wash
water from around the spark plug.
3. After First 10 Operating Hours
(and afterwards as recommended):
a) Tighten nuts and bolts:
b) Check tire pressure;
c) Originally, the position of A lever is
normal. As clutch wears out the same lever
could have a wider opening being so
uneasy to use, this means that it is
necessary to adjust the cable, setting lever
A on its original position acting on
adjustment device B and on counter-nut C;
d) Check the gear oil level of each attachment.
Re-check rear tyne tillers and other attachments
every 100 hours.

.,5/26.$52,/(1*,1(6/,0,7(' 
$.LUORVNDU*URXS&RPSDQ\

4. Occasionally as needed
Clean any dirt and old grease from the PTO
connections of all equipment and pack with clean
bearing grease.
5. Seasonally
Lubricate the control cables with a light oil;
Clean parts thoroughly and apply grease to the
control column indexing rod or lever, column fork,
column support or pivot post.
6.8 Use and Care Of Attachments
Lubrication of Attachments
1.Rototiller and cover assembly: Remove the pipe plug on top of the attachment gear
housing. If the oil level is more than 2 inches (50 mm) below the filler hole, fill to the top
with SAE 80/ 90 or SAE 90EP (extreme pressure) gear oil. Maintain at the nearly full level.
2. All other attachments: Remove dirty grease and lubricate the PTO coupling of the
Attachment with bearing grease whenever greasing the unit PTO.
6.9 Coupling Attachment To PTO
When the PTO flange of the attachment is coupled to the unit PTO flange and the PTO is
engaged, the splined shaft slides out to engage the splined (grooved) shaft of the
attachment. Then the shafts rotate as a single member until the PTO shift lever is used to
retract the drive shaft.
Although the attachment may be coupled directly to the unit PTO, there is a quick hitch that
can shorten the time for coupling and uncoupling attachments. There are also PTO
extensions in lengths of 3" and 6"which can be coupled between the PTO and attachment
for better balance with certain attachment and engine combinations.
 .,5/26.$52,/(1*,1(6/,0,7('
$.LUORVNDU*URXS&RPSDQ\

6.9.1 Direct Coupling:
1. Remove the lock nuts and washers from the tractor PTO studs.
2. Align the tractor PTO with the connecting flange of the attachment. Always bring the
weeder to the attachment. If necessary use props to level the attachment.
3. Slide the PTO studs into the attachment flange and secure with the washers and lock
nuts.
6.9.2 Quick Hitch:
1. The hitch consists of two parts held together by a captive T-handled pin. Pull and turn pin
sideways to separate the parts.
2. Remove the two nuts from the tractor PTO studs and the two bolts and nuts from the
quick hitch.
3. Attach the female part, pin-side-up, to the tractor PTO. Attach the male part, hole-side-
up, to the attachment-connecting flange. Install and tighten the four nuts.
4. Fit the attachment part into the PTO part. Twist the pin so it drops down into locking
position, securing the two parts together.
5. To uncouple, pull the pin.
6.10 Use and Care Of Rear-Tine Tiller Attachment
6.10.1 Tilling Width
Important
When changing sets of tines, it is important to keep the tines in place on one side for use as a
model while changing tines on the other.
Do not mount the tines backwards on the flange.

.,5/26.$52,/(1*,1(6/,0,7(' 
$.LUORVNDU*URXS&RPSDQ\

6.10.2 Tilling Depth Adjustment
The procedure is the opposite of what many people first would believe. For the deepest soil
penetration, you raise the depth controlling "knife" by pinning the bar in the bottom hole
(see drawing).
1. Remove the hairpin and the clevis pin from the bracket and bar.
2. Raise or lower the bar handle to align the holes in the bar and brackets. Pin the bar at
desired setting, or as recommended in step 3.
3. In hard ground, as when tilling a patch of ground for the first time, pin the depth
adjustment rod through the top hole for a shallow cut.
After a pass or two to break up the hard top crust, stop the engine and pin the depth
adjustment bar through the lower position hole.
Pinning the bar through the bottom holes raises the depth-gauging "knife" for maximum
tilling depth.
Warning – Obstruction such as rocks and tree roots in the soil can cause ”blade breakage /
bending where the machine suddenly jerks or leaps forward. Do not try to control the unit
in this type of condition Just let it go and the machine will stop.
6.10.3 Tilling Suggestions
1. When breaking new ground or preparing hard,
rocky soil, till at a maximum depth at the lowest
gear setting and at a fast throttle setting.
In soft soil you can probably start right off tilling at
maximum depth and are achieved in the lowest
gear speeds.
2. You can avoid trampling over and tamping the
fresh tilled rows by walking to one side of the tiller.
Swing the handlebar to the side and adjust it to a
comfortable height. After a bit of practice with the
tiller, you can work out a pattern where your
footprints will be erased with each new pass.
