GEARBOX and EXTENSION TUBE. Delivered pre assembled.
1. Insert the drive shaft into the clamp housing and onto the
square drive peg on the engine shaft.
2. Slide the working head and extension tube over the drive shaft
toward the clamp housing.
Important!
When the extension tube is nearly all the way into
the clamp housing the working head and extension
tube will need to be rotated slowly until the drive
shaft lines up with the square drive peg on the working
head.
3. Once the drive shaft is on both drive pegs, the extension tube
should be inserted into the clamp housing up to the step cut
groove on the extension tube.
4. Tighten the clamp lever on the clamp housing BY HAND ONLY.
The working head is intended to rotate slightly if the tines hit a
rock or other solid objects. (Two washers are fitted between the
shoulder of the clamp bolt and the housing.) The final angle of
the clamp handle can be adjusted by removal of one or both of
the washers.
5. Set the machine stand to the "down" position by moving the
spring loaded lever fully to the rear (toward the engine).

Before You Start

Important!
The engine on this machine must not be operated
until it is filled to the correct level with oil. Check the oil in the
working head - refer to General Maintenance, point 2 on the
next page.
Support your Morrison Tiller in a level position and remove the plug
marked 'OIL FILL'. Use a funnel to fill the crank case to the point of
overflowing with SAE 10W-30 oil (600ml), then replace and tighten
the plug. When filling the crank case, it is necessary to pour the oil
slowly to avoid air locks.
Check the oil level each time you use your machine, and when
necessary refill to overflowing. Replacement oil is available from
your Morrison Dealer. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, preferably
premium grade gasoline.
The engine on your Tiller will benefit considerably from being
used under only moderate loads for the first five hours use.
Avoid using your machine with the engine at full throttle
during this period.
STARTING THE ENGINE
For a more detailed description refer to the Engine Owner's Manual
provided.
Ensure that the tines are not resting on the ground. Check that the
support stand is down and locked in position (IF FITTED).
EVERY TIME YOU USE YOUR TILLER CHECK:
