Warning
Prior to operating your tiller, carefully read and follow all instructions
below. Perform all adjustments to verify your tiller is operating safely
and properly.
Check the adjustment of the wheels:
The tiller is shipped with the wheels adjusted so that the machine sits
level. The wheels need to be adjusted to meet your tilling needs before
operation. This adjustment is made by removing the clevis pin from the
wheel yoke and raising the wheels to the desired height. See Figure 8.
Check the adjustment of the forward clutch cable as follows:
1.
Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire against the engine.
2.
Adjust the cable by loosening the hex nut. See Figure 9.
3.
Turn the cable collar section one or two turns to increase or
decrease tension on the cable. See Figure 10.
4.
Retighten the lock nut against the cable collar. See Figure 11.
5.
With the forward tine engagement handle in the neutral (released)
position, pull the starter rope several times. The tines should not
turn.
6.
If they turn forward or in reverse, adjust the clutch cable to
decrease or increase tension using the previous steps listed.
7.
Check again for correct tension on the clutch cable.
