Starting the Engine
To help prevent serious personal injury or damage to equipment:
WARNiNG
Do not attempt to engage the tines or wheels until you have
read all of the operating instructions
WARNiNG
Before starting engine, put both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE
position. Never have wheels in FREEWHEEL position when
engine is running. When the wheels are in FREEWHEEL, they
do not hold back the tiller and the tines could propel the tiller
rapidly forward or backward.
WARNiNG
Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated
areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless
and deadly gas.
WARNiNG
Keep away from rotating tines. Rotating tines will cause injury.
1. Make certain the tiller is on a flat, level surface.
2. Release all controls on the tiller.
3. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
4. Move the throttle lever to the “FAST” position.

NOTiCE
If the engine starts but does not run, make certain that the
tiller is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with a
low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when
the oil level falls below a critical threshold.

in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the “oFF”
position.
