Engine Throttle Lever Use the throttle lever (G, Figure 3-1) to adjust engine speed as well as to start and stop the engine. Move the lever away from the STOP position before starting the engine. Engine speeds are variable and range between the FAST and SLOW.
Section 4 Operation INTRODUCTION Read this Section of the manual thoroughly before you start the engine. Then, take the time to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of the tiller before using it in your garden.
Section 4: Operation Starting the Engine: 1. With the engine off, place the Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever (Figure 4-2) in the NEUTRAL position. If in the FORWARD position, tap the lever sharply upward, it should automatically move into NEUTRAL position.
Section 4: Operation Reconnect the cables and securely tighten to battery posts. The engine will recharge the battery if the battery is still good. • If you suspect the batter is “dead”, or if the battery is damaged, disconnect, and remove it. Have it checked by a qualified technician.
Section 4: Operation 6. When the tiller moves forward, relax and let the wheels power the tiller along while the tines dig. Walk behind and to one side of the tiller. Walk on the side that is not yet tilled (Figure 4-4). Use a firm grip on the handlebars but keep your arm relaxed.
Section 4: Operation 4. When the turn is complete, shift to NEUTRAL and lower the handlebars. Move Tines/PTO Clutch Lever back to ENGAGE position and resume forward operation. T ransporting The Tiller Around Y our Property When the engine is running, the tiller’s powered wheels make moving the tiller to and from the garden easy.
Section 4: Operation • Turn the vehicle’s engine off and apply its parking brake. • Position the loading vehicle so that the ramp angle is as flat as possible (the less incline to the ramp, the better).
Section 4: Operation 3. Kneel on left side of tiller. To create belt slack, reach over to right side of the pulleys and push in at the center of the belt with a finger. At the same time, use your left hand to work the belt part-way onto the lower-front transmission pulley groove (Figure 4-10).
Section 4: Operation SLOW GEAR, LOW BELT RANGE For: • Tilling in sod. • Tilling in hard clay. • Tilling under standing corn- stalks in tough soil conditions. • Tilling under cover crops. • Preparing a deep seedbed. • Tilling in stony soil.
Section 4: Operation 22 A void making footprints When possible, walk on the untilled side of the unit to avoid making footprints in the freshly tilled soil (Figure 4-4). Foot- prints cause soil compaction that can hamper root penetration and contribute to soil erosion.
23 B. Terrace Gardening: • When a slope is too steep or too short for vertical tilling, it may be necessary to till across the slope and create terraced rows. Terraces are rows that are cut into the side of a slope, creating a narrow, but flat area on which to plant.
Section 4: Operation 24 POWER COMPOSTING Power composting means tilling under and burying in the soil all manner of organic matter such as crop residues, leaves, grass clippings and cover crops. This material will decompose during the non-growing season and add important natural nutrients to the soil.
Your tiller is a self-contained PTO (Power Take-Off) Power Unit that was shipped with a tine attachment installed. The tine attachment can be quickly removed and replaced with other optional attachments. The following instructions will familiarize you with your PTO Power Unit.
IMPORTANT: Store tine attachment in a level, upright position to prevent gear oil from leaking from the dipstick area. 9. To keep the tine attachment dog clutch coupling clean, cover with the dust cap (on some attachments) or plastic wrap. 10. The PTO Power Unit is now ready to install other powered or non-powered attachments.
3. On the PTO Power Unit, unplug the Forward Interlock Wire Harness that leads from the base of the handlebars (A, Figure 4-28) to the receptacle (B) located on the top, right side of the transmission cover. 4. On the Stationary Attachment, locate the interlock wire (C, Figure 4-28) and clean contacts on plug and receptacle (B).
NOTE: All references to left, right, front and rear of the machine are determined by standing behind the handlebars and facing the direction of forward travel. REQUIRED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Before Every Every Every As PROCEDURE Each 10 25 30 Noted Use Hours Hours Hours Check engine oil level • Every 5 operating hrs.
T ighten Bolts and Nuts Check for loose or missing hardware every ten (10) operating hours. Failure to tighten or replace fasteners can cause poor performance, equipment damage or oil leakage. See your Parts Catalog for complete fastener descriptions.
Section 5: Maintenance IMPORTANT: Do not allow oil or grease to contact the pulleys, drive belt or reverse disc. This can cause the belt or disc to slip on the pulleys. Lubricate the numbered areas in Figures 5-4 and 5-5, as follows: 1. Oil the wheel shaft between the wheel hubs and the transmission housing (A, Figure 5-4).
Section 5: Maintenance 3. If the oil level is correct, oil will seep out of the check hole (allow extra time in cold weather). If it does, the level is fine and you should replace the check plug.
Section 5: Maintenance Adding Gear Oil to the PTO Power Unit Transmission 1. Do steps 1 and 2 of Checking the Power Unit Oil Level on page 32. 2. Using a 3/4" wrench (or socket), remove the bolt securing the handlebar base to the top of the transmission (prop the handlebars first to prevent them from falling).
Section 5: Maintenance Drive Belt Maintenance Measuring and Adjusting Drive Belt T ension On a new tiller (or if a new belt is installed), the belt tension will probably need to be adjusted after the first two (2) hours of operation. Thereafter, check belt tension every ten (10) operating hours.
Section 5: Maintenance 3. Insert the belt adjustment tool through the hole in the side of the adjustment block, spacing the ends of the tool equally on both sides (Figure 5-14). Rotate the tool so the slotted end faces down. 4. Place the Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever in FORWARD position.
Section 5: Maintenance 3. Push belt forward then down until it is looped over the lower pulley (Figure 5-18). Do not yet seat it in either of the lower pulley’s grooves. HINT: A blunt object, like a ruler, can help you push the belt downward if needed.
Replacing the Reverse Disc Follow these steps to replace the reverse disc. (If your tiller has a Bumper Attach- ment mounted, it must be removed first.
Adjusting Reverse Drive: 1. Place Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever in FORWARD position. 2. On left side of tiller, put a 1/2" wrench on the plunger retaining bolt and another 1/2" wrench on the jam nut next to it (Figure 5-27). While holding the bolt steady, loosen the jam nut (counterclock- wise) until it touches the bolt head.
Single Tine Replacement 1. Move the Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever to NEUTRAL, the Wheel Speed Lever to either FAST or SLOW position, and the Tines/PTO Clutch Lever to ENGAGE. 2. Gently tilt the tiller forward until the engine rests on the ground. 3. Raise the hood flap at the back of the tiller and tie it up with string.
T ine Shaft Maintenance After every 10 operating hours, remove the left- and right-side Bolo Tine holders and clear away dirt and debris that have accumulated on the tine shaft or inside the tine holders. Please follow this main- tenance recommendation, as debris can cause premature wear to the tine shaft and its oil seals.
Storing Y our Tiller When your tiller won’t be used during the off-season, prepare it for storage with the following steps: 1. Clean the tiller and engine.
Appendix A: T roubleshooting CHECK OR TEST (Check or test in sequence shown until problem is resolved.) Throttle Lever in START position X Wheels/Tines/PTO Drive Lever in NEUTRAL position X Forward In.
