100379 - FRONT TiNE TiLLER
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in
blow back of gasoline at the operator while filling.
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some
issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a
watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.
– With gravity-fed supplies, the compromised gasoline can
be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the
engine and/or potential hazards.
– If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer's
warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply, run the
engine to starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is
not in use for more than 30 days.
Forward Tine Control Lever
The Forward Tine rotation lever engages the tines in a forward
direction pulling the tiller forward. The operator will need to hold
the tiller from moving forward to allow the tines to engage the soil
and dig downward.
To operate the Forward Tine Control lever:
1. Store transport wheels by flipping the upward and locking
using the wheel adjustment pin.
2. Squeeze the lever upward until it engages the handle
3. Release lever to disengage (stop) tines

Reverse Tine Control Lever
The reverse tine control lever reverse the rotation of the tines
so the tiller can be removed from tight spaces, obstructions or
entanglements.
To operate the reverse Tine Control lever:
1. Pull the reverse tine control upward toward the handle and
slowly back the tiller out of the undesired space
2. Ensure all tiller tine motion has stopped before re-engaging
tines.
3. Release the lever to disengage (stop) the wheels and tines
(the engine will continue to run).
DO NOT till in reverse.
Depth Regulator Lever Adjustment
This regulator lever controls the tilling depth of the tines. Remove
pin and clip and slide regulator lever up or down as required.
Reassemble pin and clip.
The "travel position" (highest hole) raises the tines approximately
1-1/2 in. (4 cm) off the ground, allowing the tiller to be moved
without the tines contacting the ground. This setting should also
be used when starting the engine.
Moving the regulator lever upward will increase the tilling depth.
The lowest notch allows a tilling depth of approximately 6 in.
(15 cm), depending on soil conditions. For best results, always
begin tilling at a very shallow depth setting and gradually increase
the tilling depth.
