The idle speed may need to be adjusted
after making the mixture adjustment. If"
the tines do not turn when the engine is
running and the throttle control is
released, the idle speed will not need
adjusting. If the tines turn when the
throttle control is released, do the
following:
• Have someone tilt the cultivator back
on its depth stake so that the tines are
off the ground.
• Start the engine.
• With the throttle in the released (idle)
position, turn the idle speed adjusting
screw countemlockwise until the tines
stop rotating.
,_ CAUTION: Never tamper with the en-
gine governor which is factory set for proper
engine speed. Over-speeding the engine
above the factory set high speed can be
dangerous. If you think the engine-governed
high speed needs adjusting, contact your
nearest Craftsman Service Center.

Z..._CAUTION: Never store engine with
fuel in tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas where fuel fumes many
reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as
on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer,
etc.
NOTE: The cultivator should be immedi-
ately prepared for storage at the end of the
season or if the unit will not be used for 30
days or more.
CULTIVATOR
• Thoroughly clean the cultivator. Remove
all dirt and debris from the engine and
unit.
• Remove the tines, oil the tine shaft and
reinstall the tines (see Service and
Adjustments section in this manual).
• Loosen the tee knobs that secure the
upper handle to the lower handle.
• Carefully fold the upper handle down,
making sure the throttle is not kinked.
Tighten the tee knobs.
The cross piece of the upper handle
(between the lower handles) can now be
used as a carry handle or can be hooked
over a wall hook to store the cultivator up
off the floor and out of the way.
If possible, store your cultivator indoors
and cover it to give protection from dust
and dirt.
Cover the cultivator with a suitable
protective cover that does not retain
moisture. Do not use plastic.
IMPORTANT: Never cover the cultivator
while th_ engine and exhaust areas are
still warm.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up by a
Craftsman Service Center is a good way
to ensure that your cultivator will
provide maximum performance for the
next season.
