As you proceed, experiment with the clutch lever so you learn to gauge the responses needed in close areas. A WARNING For your personal safety, release the clutch lever immediately when striking a foreign object. Stop the engine and thoroughly inspect the tiller before restarting and operating again. Operating on Slopes The chances of an operator slipping towards the tiller are greatest when tilling up and down the face of slopes, especially downhill in freshly churned soil. For your personal safety, always till across the face of slopes, and never up and down the face. Do not attempt to till steep slopes, and always use extreme caution when changing direction on any slope. Never attempt to operate your tiller on slopes greater than 20 percent (11.3 degrees) — which is a rise of 2 feet in 10 feet forward — and always operate across the slope. TILLING HINTS One of many tilling considerations is to adjust engine speed to fit both the soil condition and the job. When doing seedbed preparation, you will normally want to use full or nearly full engine power. When cultivating between rows of plants, control is most important and a much slower speed is desired. JL fSimaliciiu Operation You will want to till to a depth that suits the seed you will plant. As a rule, till at least 2 inches (50 mm) deeper than the normal planting depth for the seed. The usual planting depth for com, as am example, is 2 to 3 inches (50 to 76.2 mm). Using the rule above for this example, till the soil to a depth of 5 inches (127 mm) or more. Plan ahead and determine the best tilling pattern before you start. Consider the size and shape of the area to be tilled. Keep in mind the hardness of the soil. Under normal conditions, tilling is best done by making long passes alongside previous ones (item A, figure 5). In hard-packed soil, steering problems can be reduced by skipping one tiller width from the previous one (item B). In places where rows are slightly wider than the tines, it is possible to wiggle the front of the tiller back and forth slightly as the tiller moves forward to enable the tines to pick up the small area that otherwise would be missed. Turning the tiller around at the end of a row for the next pass in the opposite direction is best learned by experience. One method is to disengage the forward clutch, lift up on the handles and pivot the tiller on the tines. A combination of the forward and reverse clutch together with pivoting of the handles may be used for the model 1005. Do not till when the soil is very wet. This causes lumps which are difficult to remove. Soil that is moist enough to roll into a ball is too wet. If the soil is extremely hard and dry, it may be desirable to cross-till an area (item C, figure 5) at shallow depth first. Then till deeper in the direction the rows will be planted at desired depth. Soil that is tilled at scheduled intervals is usually much easier to till. Figure 5. Suggested Tilling Patterns Normal Care CONTENT OF SECTION Your rotary tiller was designed and built to provide years of service with only minor care. Certain tasks, however, must be performed to keep the tiller in good operating condition and to avoid costly repairs. This section describes and provides procedures for the necessary care of your rotary tiller. A WARNING For your personal safety, either remove spark plug or remove cable from spark plug and insert terminal in V-notch on cylinder cover before servicing or adjusting your tiller (see figure 14 if necessary). SCHEDULED CARE A schedule for routine care is provided in figure 6. Your dealer has performed the tasks required before the first use of the rotary tiller. We suggest that you at least check these items to ensure that the tiller is ready for use. Performing the checks will also help you become familiar with the care of the rotary tiller. All other scheduled care is performed after operating the rotary tiller for a specific amount of time. See figures 6 through 11. Remember to perform the “every 25-hour check” when you perform the “every 100-hour check.” Because the schedule is based on operating time, it will be necessary to estimate and keep a record of all operating time. A Maintenance Record (figure 29), is provided to help you keep track of all operating hours and maintenance repair actions. NORMAL STORAGE To protect your rotary tiller, store it in an enclosed, dry area. Do not store it in an enclosure where fumes from the fuel tank could reach an open flame without first running the fuel tank dry. OFF-SEASON STORAGE When the tiller is to be stored for thirty days or longer, take precautions as follows: A WARNING For your personal safety, keep open flame or spark away from flammable gasoline when working near the fuel tank. Never store tiller where gasoline fumes may reach an open flame or spark. 1. To empty or prepare fuel tank: a. Run tiller engine until it stops from lack of fuel, or b. Use a gasoline stabilizer.
