For models R3365H and 3365PSCE only.
The controls required to start and run the rototiller are located on
the handle.
A more detailed description of engine operation and all related
precautions and procedures can be found in the engine manufacturer’s
manual that accompanies each tiller.
COLD STARTS
1. Move the throttle control to the
FAST position.
2. Pull starting rope out slowly one time and allow to return
normally.
3. Pull starting rope out rapidly and allow rope to return normally.
4. Operate engine in the FAST position.
RESTARTING A WARM ENGINE
Restarting an engine that is already warm from previous running does
not normally require use of the choke.
1. Move throttle lever to
FAST position.
2. Pull starting rope out rapidly until engine starts. Allow rope to return
normally. Repeat until engine starts.
3. Adjust throttle speed to FAST for best tiller action.
OPERATING SPEED
For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to FAST.
SHUTTING DOWN
For models 3365, 3365B, 3365K, 3365KPS, 3365CE
and 3365PS only.
To stop the engine at any time, move the throttle control to the OFF
position. To stop wheels and tines at any time, release the drive safety
control to the NEUTRAL position.
For models R3365H and 3365PSCE only.
To shut the engine off, push the throttle control lever all the way forward.
Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the CLOSED position.
TILLING
1. Adjust the depth regulator lever to desired tilling depth.
NOTE: Raise depth regulator lever up one hole at a time,
testing tiller operation after each raise. Raising depth regulator
lever too high can result in loss of control of tiller!
2. Move the throttle control to FAST.
3. Place the tiller in motion by pushing down on the drive safety control
lever; this will engage the tines.
WARNING
!
DANGER
!
ENGINE AND SURROUNDING PARTS BECOME
EXTREMELY HOT DURING NORMAL USE AND WILL
CAUSE SERIOUS BURN INJURIES IF TOUCHED
BEFORE THE ENGINE HAS COOLED.
ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE
TOUCHING THESE HOT SURFACES.
ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR OF
ROTATING MACHINE PARTS.
EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN IN SELECT-
ING TILLING DEPTH. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO TILL TOO
DEEPLY FOR SOIL CONDITIONS—THAT IS, WITH
THE DRAG STAKE IN TOO HIGH OF A POSITION—
LOSS OF CONTROL COULD RESULT.
IF REMOVING MATERIAL FROM THE TINES BY
HAND, STOP THE ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK
PLUG WIRE FIRST.
