in

disengaged

position.

TILLING

PROCEDURE

The

tiller

is

initially

set-up

in

the

forward

tine

rota-

tion

mode

which

is

best

for

cultivating

and

seed

bed

preparation.

Tine

rotation

can

be

quickly

changed

by

following

the

instructions

on

page

4.

Prepare

for

till-

ing

as

follows.

1.

SET

HANDLE

BAR

in

desired

position

before

engaging

CLUTCH

CONTROL.

2.

SET

SKID

ARM

in

highest

position

for

deepest

tilling

depth

and

intermediate

notches

for

lesser

depth.

NOTE:

If

you

are

familiar

with

front

tine

tillers,

this

is

opposite

of

the

skid

arm

setting

recommendations.

3.

SET

SPEEDS

to

begin

tilling

by

shifting

the

transmission

into

#1

speed

and

moving

the

engine

THROTTLE

CONTROL

to

fast.

4.

_

BEGIN

TILLING

by

pushing

TINE

CLUTCH

con-

trol

to

engaged

position

and

pulling

CLUTCH

CONTROL

back

to

handle.

At

the

end

of

the

row,

disengage

the

TINE

CLUTCH

but

hold

the

CLUTCH

CONTROL

to

handle

bar

to

continue

the

wheels

driving

while

turning.

5.

TILLING

HINTS:

Let

the

tiller

do

the

work!

Do

not

try

to

hold

it

back.

A

slight

down

pressure

on

the

handle

bar

is

usually

all

that

is

required

to

keep

the

tines

firmly

in

the

ground.

6.

ROUGH

TERRAIN

HINT:

if

tilling

over

very

rough,

uneven

ground,

till

at

light

depth

setting

on

the

first

path

to

smooth

the

surface.

On

especially

rough

terrain,

the

tiller

could

hang

up

underneath

with

the

wheels

spinning

free.

Under

this

condition

the

transmission

will

be

hard

to

shift.

Rather

than

attempting

to

force

the

shift

lever

into

reverse,

lift

the

handle

bar

then

turn

the

tiller

diagonally

across

the

rise

to

gain

traction.

END

Many

of

the

services

described

in

the

following

specify

standing

the

tiller

on

end

for

easy

access

to

components

on

the

underside

of

the

frame.

The

Tiller

may

also

be

stored

during

the

off-season

on

the

front

stand-up

bar.

If

the

fuel

tank

is

less

than

half

full

the

fuel

should

not

leak

out

of

the

filler

cap.

Take

necessary

steps

to

prevent

fuel

leakage

before

standing

on

end.

If

the

tiller

is

stored

on

end

for

any

length

of

time,

check

for

oil

leakage.

CAUTION:

Never

stand

the

tiller

on

end

with

the

engine

runn-

ing!

Stop

the

engine

and

disconnect

the

spark

plug

wire

to

prevent

accidental

starting

before

standing

TILLER

TINES

TINE

SERVICE:

Snapper

two-way

tines

are

sharpen-

ed

on

front

and

rear

edges

to

cut

in

either

directon.

Check

periodically

for

freedom

of

movement

of

the

tine

blades

and

for

loose

or

missing

fasteners.

The

tine

blades

must

be

free

to

pivot

on

the

hub

plates.

Replace

tine

blades

when

badly

worn

or

damaged.

Use

Snapper

#3-2424

tines

and

#1-4981

Shoulder

bolts

and

9-0524

locknuts

for

replacement

purpose

or

order

complete

tine

assembly

#5-1513.

The

same

assembly

is

used

on

both

sides

of

the

The

tines

are

bolted

securely

to

the

tine

shaft

witha

special

shear

boit

(Snapper

SERVICE

If

the

wheels

loose

traction,

stand

the

tiller

on

end

and

check

the

rubber

driven

disc.

Poor

traction

could

be

caused

by

an

excessively

worn

driven

disc

or

by

improper

positioning

of

the

disc.

If

the

rubber

disc

appears

in

good

condition,

shift

the

transmis-

sion

into

reverse

then

into

#1

forward

position.

In

both

settings,

the

rubber

disc

should

be

located

out-

side

of

the

indentation

in

the

center

of

the

metal

drive

disc.

If

the

rubber

disc

rides

on

the

edge

of

in-

dentation

in

either

setting,

loosen

the

screws

holding

the

shift

detent

to

the

frame

then

tilt

the

de-

tent

until

the

rubber

disc

is

outside

the

edge

of

the

indentation.

Securely

tighten

the

detent

screws.

The

disc

should

be

about

equal

distance

from

the

outer

edge

of

the

indentation

in

both

reverse

and

#1

posi-

tions

when

properly

adjusted.

Replace

the

driven

disc

if

worn

unevenly

or

if

worn

down

to

the

point

where

it

no

longer

makes

firm

con-

tact

with

the

drive

disc.

To

replace,

remove

the

three

flange

nuts,

slip

the

old

disc

off

the

hub

then

install
