Raising an Attachment • Keep away from the rotating tines while operating the tiller. • Keep your hands, feet, and any other part of your body or clothing away from rotating parts.
Tips for Tilling Clean the area of trash, branches and rocks before tilling to prevent equipment damage. Always begin tilling with the slowest ground speed possible. Increase speed if conditions permit. Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed) when tilling. Always engage the power take off (PTO) with tiller in the raised position. Till in long straight passes. Do not make turns while tiller is in the ground, as equipment damage may result. A small center area will not be tilled due to the gear case.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule Maintenance Service Interval 25 Hours Maintenance Procedure • Oil–check level • Grease bearings Fall service • Oil–check level • Belt–check for wear/cracks At storage service • Oil–check level • Belt–check for wear/cracks • Chipped Surfaces–paint Important Refer to your engine operator’s manual for additional maintenance procedures.
