WheelDrivePins
These two pins (one on each
side of the wheel shaft), secure the
wheels to the wheel shaft and can
be positioned by you to put the
wheels in either a WHEEL DRIVE
or a FREEWHEEL mode.
Before starting the engine, put
both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE
position by inserting the Wheel
Drive Pins through the holes in
both the wheel shaft and wheel
hub on both sides of the tiller (see
instructions on next page). This
"locks" the wheels to the wheel
shaft, causing the wheels to turn
when you engage the Forward
Clutch Bail,
Use the FREEWHEEL position
only when the engine is off. This
position lets you easily push or pull
the tiller. To use the FREEWHEEL
mode, place the Wheel Drive Pins
through the holes in the wheel
shaft only (see instructions on
next page), This keeps the wheels
on the shaft, thus allowing the
wheels to rotate freely when you
push or pull the tiller handlebar.
WARNING
Never let either of the wheels
be in FREEWHEEL position
when the engine is running.
Always put bothwheels in the
WHEELORIVEposition before
starting the engine,
Failure to complycouldcause
loss of tiller control, property
damage, or personalinjury.
