TILLER MFG. NO. 1690322 CAUTION: Read Manual Thoroughly Before Operating FORM —1657962-02 PRINTED IN U.S.A. 774 GENERAL INTRODUCTION This Owner’s Guide has been prepared to provide the information needed to assemble and operate your tiller with greater satisfaction. Read this Owner’s Guide carefully. Be sure you know what the controls are for and how they operate. The care your tiller requires is small, but important. Keep it clean and well lubri- cated. With proper care and operation, as explained in this manual, you will obtain long and efficient service. A separate engine instruction manual is also provided. Refer to this manual for engine operation, adjustment and maintenance. THINK OF SAFETY BEFORE YOU USE YOUR ROTARY TILLER Your rotary tiller was built to the highest standards. However, a rotary tiller is only as safe as the operator. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in injury. Please read and follow these instructions on safe operation and be certain anyone using this rotary tiller is familiar with these simple rules: • Improper use of the rotary tiller can result in injury. Give complete and undivided attention to the work you are doing. • Know the controls and how they operate. • Know how to stop the rotary tiller and engine. • Disengage power and stop engine before cleaning, removing obstacles, or making adjustment. • Keep children and pets a safe distance away from rotary tiller. • Do not allow anyone to operate rotary tiller without proper instruction and supervision. • Exercise caution to avoid falling. • Don’t- start the engine and tines until you are ready to start tilling. Stop the engine whenever you leave the machine. • The compact tiller can be lifted manually and moved from one place to another. However, NEVER lift or move this tiller without first stopping the engine, as this is an unsafe practice and may lead to an injury. • Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-dri ve parts. • Keep rotary tiller in good operating condition and keep safety devices in place. • Store gasoline in a safe container. Store the container in a cool, dry place. • Fill fuel tank outdoors. Avoid spilling gasoline. Don’t fill tank while engine is running or while you are smoking. Do not fill hot engine. Exhaust gases are dangerous; do not start or run engine indoors. INITIAL SERVICING Before starting the engine, refer to the engine instructions. Be certain that the engine crankcase is filled with the proper type oil and that all engine service instructions have been followed completely. Fill fuel tank with a clean, fresh, lead-free or leaded “regular” grade of automotive gasoline. Do NOT mix oil with gasoline. All nuts and bolts should be checked and tightened during the first two (2) hours of use. Periodic checks should be made thereafter. CONTROLS AND OPERATION With control lever held firmly but comfortably to the handle of tiller the clutch is engaged and the tines will rotate, as shown in Figure 1 and 2. With control lever in the position as Figure 3, tines will not turn. FIG. 2 FIG. 3 2 DEPTH CONTROL The depth control regulates the tilling depth and forward speed for the tiller. It has six (6) different depth positions plus 1 transport position, and two Hex Socket holes to use as wrenches. (See Fig. 4.) The lower you set the control, the slower the tiller will propel itself forward, but at the same time you will be increasing the working depth of tines. By raising the depth control, you will be increasing the forward speed of the tiller but decreasing the working depth. There may be occasions when you may prefer not to use the depth control, such as while tilling in loose soil, in these instances, you will have to hold the tiller back slightly. However, do not struggle with the tiller. Permit the tiller to do the work it was designed to do. Remove depth control from tail piece section when not using.

FIGURE 4 OPERATING SUGGESTIONS As the operator lifts up on the handle bar, Fig. 5, the depth control is pulled slightly out of the soil, allowing the tiller to inch its way forward. As the operator presses down on the handle bar, Fig. 6, the depth control bites deeper into the ground holding the tiller back, letting the tines dig deep into the soil.
