DO NOT ADJUST CLUTCH WITH
THE ENGINE RUNNING
9) Engage clutch lever and check adjustment. With clutch lever held tightly, spring should be slightly
stretched (about V
4
inch). If clutch is adjusted too tightly, tiller may still pull when clutch lever is
released. If clutch is adjusted too loose, machine may fail to pull when lever is pressed.
Additional adjustment can also be made by loosening four bolts holding engine to frame (item 10)
and sliding engine forward and backward as needed, re-tighten engine mount bolts. This adjust¬
ment is almost never needed and should not be made unless all other adjustments fail.
10)
Install approximately one pint (.47 litre) of 80/90 EP or 140 weight gear lubricant in transmission
fill hole. With tiller frame rails level with the ground, add gear lube until oil level reaches the check
hole located on right side of the transmission case. Instruct operator how to check and add oil when
needed. The oil level should be checked frequently.
11)
Service engine according to engine operating and maintenance instructions furnished with tiller.
Special attention should be given to proper installation and servicing of engine air filter assembly.
12) 'Disconnect spark plug. Grasp pull cord and pull it 6" past cross brace. String cord into eye of pullcord
holder (item no. 46). Slip threads through hole on right hand handle above cross brace. Then secure
with 1/4-20 Nylok Locknut (item no. 5), tighten nut until the eye bottoms out against handle.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SECTION
Proper maintenance includes periodic inspection and lubrication by the operator, using the correct
lubricants. This will insure long life of the tiller. All bolts and nuts should be checked often for tightness.
This section of your manual is devoted entirely to maintenance and repair and should be used as
a guide when service is performed.
