engine is running, Always put both
wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position
before startingthe engine.

tiller control, property damage, or
personal injury.

Before starting the engine, put both
wheels in the WHEEL DRIVEposition by
inserting the Wheel Drive Pins through
the wheel hubs and the wheel shaft. This
"locks" the wheels to the wheel shaft,
causing the wheels to turn when either
the Forward Clutch Bail or the Reverse
Clutch Control (Models 12209/1221O) is
engaged.
Use the FREEWHEEL mode only when the
engine is not running. In FREEWHEEL,
the Wheel Drive Pins are placed only
through the holes in the wheel shaft (not
the wheel hubs), thus allowing the wheels
to turn freely when the tiller is pushed or
pulled by hand,
To Place the Wheels in WHEELDRIVEor
FREEWHEEL:
Do not place the tiller on its side when
changing the wheel drive positions as
doing so could result in gasoline
leaking from the fuel tank°
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or property
damage.
1. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark
plugwire from the spark plug and allow
the engine to cool,
2. Raise one wheel off the ground and
placea sturdy support under the
transmission.
3. Removethe hairpin cotter (C, Figures
3-2 and 3-3) from the wheel drive pin (A).
