Tilling width can be increased to 24 inches by removing
the clevis pins and hairpin clips, sliding the outer tines
out one inch, and securing in this position with the
clevis pins and hairpin clips. See Figure 15. For
cultivation, reduce the tine width to 13 inches by
removing the outer tines completely.

Carburetor Adjustment
WARNING: If any adjustments are made
to the engine while the engine is running
(e.g. carburetor), disengage all clutches
and tines. Keep clear of all moving parts.
Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude or load. If adjustments are needed, refer to the
engine manual packed with the tiller.
NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause engine to run
rough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to
the carburetor before adjusting carburetor. Do not
make unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are
satisfactory for most applications and conditions.
