HOW
TO
USE
YOUR
TILLER
The
tiller
is
a
precision
built
machine
designed
for
seed
bed
preparation,
cultivating,
furrowing
and
mulching.
It
is
engineered
to
minimize
the
hardest
work
in
the
vegetable
or
flower
garden,
to
till
the
soil
for
planting
and
cultivating,
and
for
performing
many
other
useful
labor
saving
tasks
in
the
garden.
With
the
proper
amount
of
care
and
maintenance,
this
machine
will
pro¬
vide
the
owner
with
many
years
of
excellent
service.
WHEEL
POSITION
During
digging
as
the
tines
enter
the
ground
and
the
front
of
the
tiller
lowers,
the
wheels
must
be
raised
to
level
the
unit.
This
is
essential
for
proper
engine
opera¬
tion.
This
adjustment
is
made
by
removing
the
clevis
pin
and
hairpin
cotter
from
wheel
yoke,
raising
the
wheels
to
the
desired
height,
and
replacing
the
clevis
pin
and
hairpin
cotter.
See
figure
22.

Wheel
Yoke
Adjustment:
Place
wheel
yoke
so
that
the
wheels
are
forward
(nearest
point
between
wheels
and
tines)
for
shallow
tilling,
cultivating
and
transport.
This
will
also
increase
the
forward
speed.
See
figure
23.
Turn
yoke
around
(farthest
point
between
wheels
and
tines)
for
deep
tilling.
Forward
speed
will
decrease.

Depth
Bar
Adjustment:
The
depth
bar
acts
as
a
brake
for
the
tiller
and
controls
the
depth
and
speed
at
which
the
machine
will
operate.
See
figure
24.
Remove
the
clevis
pin
and
hairpin
cot¬
ter
to
raise
or
lower
depth
bar.
FIGURE
24.
By
increasing
the
depth
of
the
depth
bar,
the
for¬
ward
speed
of
the
machine
is
reduced,
and
the
working
depth
is
increased.
When
the
depth
bar
is
raised,
the
working
depth
of
the
machine
is
re¬
duced
and
the
forward
speed
is
increased.
The
working
depth
of
the
machine
may
be
predeter¬
mined
by
setting
the
depth
bar
and
wheels
so
that
the
wheels
are
about
four
inches
from
the
ground
when
the
tines
and
depth
bar
are
resting
on
the
ground.
This
setting
will
permit
a
working
depth
of
about
four
inches.
11

In
some
soils,
the
desired
depth
is
obtained
the
first
time
over
the
garden.
In
other
soils,
the
desired
depth
is
obtained
by
going
over
the
garden
two
or
three
times.
In
the
latter
case,
the
depth
bar
should
be
lowered
before
each
succeeding
pass
over
the
garden,
and
passes
should
be
made
across
the
length
and
width
of
the
garden
alternately.
Rocks
which
are
turned
up
should
be
removed
from
the
garden
area.
3.
Handle
Pressure:
Further
control
of
tilling
depth
and
travel
speed
can
be
obtained
by
variation
of
pressure
on
the
handles.
A
downward
pressure
on
the
handles
will
reduce
the
working
depth
and
in¬
crease
the
forward
speed.
An
upward
pressure
on
the
handles
will
increase
the
working
depth
and
reduce
the
forward
speed.
The
type
of
soil
and
working
conditions
will
determine
the
actual
set¬
ting
of
the
depth
bar
and
the
handle
pressure
re¬
quired.
4.
Throttle
Control:
The
throttle
control
lever
adjusts
the
engine
speed
and
stops
the
engine.
With
the
throttle
control
knob
pushed
completely
forward,
the
carburetor
is
in
START
position.
Pulling
the
throttle
control
back
slightly
adjusts
the
engine
speed
to
FAST.
Pulling
the
throttle
back
further
reduces
the
engine
speed
to
SLOW.
Pull
the
throt¬
tle
completely
back
to
stop
the
engine.
See
figure
20
.
Use
maximum
engine
speed
for
deep
tilling.
Move
the
throttle
control
to
SLOW
when
transporting
the
tiller.
TRANSPORTING
THE
TILLER
To
transport
the
tiller
to
or
from
the
garden,
raise
the
depth
bar
to
the
highest
position.
See
figure
24.
With
the
throttle
control
in
SLOW
position,
the
unit
will
move
under
its
own
power,
without
damaging
grass
areas
as
long
as
it
is
allowed
to
move
freely.
If
the
operator
holds
back,
it
will
start
to
dig.
CULTIVATING
For
cultivating,
a
two
to
three
inch
depth
is
desirable.
Setting
the
wheels
and
depth
bar
so
that
the
wheels
are
about
two
inches
above
the
ground
while
the
tiller
is
resting
on
the
tines
and
depth
bar
will
allow
the
machine
to
work
at
cultivating
depth.
The
throttle
should
be
set
to
control
toward
movement
to
a
slow
walking
speed.
With
outer
tines
installed,
the
maximum
working
width
of
the
tiller
is
26
inches.
This
width
may
be
reduced
to
24
inches
by
moving
the
clevis
pins
and
hairpin
cotters
to
the
inner
holes
on
the
tine
shaft.
For
cultivation,
remove
the
outer
tines
to
obtain
a
tilling
width
of
13
inches.
When
laying
out
plant
rows,
be
sure
to
allow
enough
width
to
permit
cultivation
between
the
rows.
In
grow¬
ing
corn
or
similar
crops,
check-row
planting
will
per¬
mit
cross
cultivation
and
practically
eliminate
hand
hoeing.
The
tiller
has
many
uses
other
than
tilling
and
cultivating
a
garden.
One
of
these
is
the
preparation
of
lawn
area
for
seeding.
The
tiller
will
prepare
a
deep
seed
bed
which
will
be
free
of
hard
untilled
spots,
allow¬
ing
a
better
stand
of
grass
to
grow.
The
tiller
is
very
useful
for
loosening
hard
soil
for
excavation
with
a
shovel.
No
tedious
hand
pickwork
will
be
necessary.
Your
tiller
may
be
used
for
mixing
compost
in
the
pile,
or
for
mixing
it
with
the
soil
in
your
garden.
This
should
be
done
after
the
soil
has
been
broken
to
the
full
work¬
ing
depth.
The
compost
should
be
worked
in
to
a
depth
of
six
to
eight
inches.
This
may
be
done
by
working
the
length
of
the
garden,
and
then
by
making
separate
passes
across
its
width.
The
addition
of
decayed
organic
matter
will
substantially
increase
the
fertility
of
your
garden.
For
proper
decaying
action,
fertilizer
should
be
applied
and
worked
in
with
the
mulch
materials.
Breaking
up
leaves
and
straw
and
mixing
it
with
several
inches
of
soil
causes
the
soil
to
hold
moisture
longer
and
allows
proper
aeration
of
the
plant
root
system.
It
also
retards
the
growth
of
weeds.
The
U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture
and
various
state
and
local
agencies
offer
published
booklets
and
expert
advice
on
all
phases
of
gardening.
They
should
be
con¬
sulted
regarding
soil
information,
planting
dates,
and
the
most
satisfactory
varieties
of
crop
for
your
particular
area.

prevents
damaging
dirt,
dust,
etc.,
from
entering
the
carburetor
and
being
forced
into
the
engine
and
is
important
to
engine
life
and
performance.
To
service

refer
to
the
engine
manual
packed
with
the
tiller.
Never
run
your

Keep
the
engine
clean
of
foreign
matter
and
be
sure
the
cooling
fins
on
the
cylinder
are
kept
clean
to
permit
proper

circulation.
This
is
an
air-cooled

SPARK
PLUG
The
spark
plug
should
be
cleaned
and
the
gap
reset
at
least
once
a
season
or
when
oil
is
changed.
Spark

replacement
is
recommended
at
the
start

OFF-SEASON
STORAGE
If
the
tiller
is
not
to
be
used
for
a
while,
the
following
procedure
should
be
followed.
The
tines,
depth
bar,
chain
case
and
wheels
should
be
cleaned
of
all
dirt.
It
is
very
important
that
the
unit
be
stored
in
a
level
posi¬
tion
to
prevent
engine
oil
from
draining
into
the
cylinder
head
cavity.
Engines
on
tillers
to
be
stored
between
seasons
should
be
completely
drained
of
fuel
to
prevent
gum
deposits
forming
on
essential
carburetor
parts
and
fuel
tank.
Refer
to
the
engine
manual
for
correct
engine
storage
instructions.
Just
as
your
automobile
needs
professional
mechanical
maintenance
from
time
to

so
does
your
air-cooled
engine.
Cleaning
and
adjusting
of
the
carburetor
and
periodic
replacement
of
the

and
ignition
points
is
made
necessary
by
NORMAL
use.

A
yearly
checkup
or

is
a
good
idea
to
avoid
breakdowns
or
delay..
do
it
at
the
end
of
the

then
you’re
ready
for
the
next.
