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.

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.

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.

For models 65, 65B, 65k, 65kPS, 65CE
and 65PS 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.

To shut the engine off, push the throttle control lever all the way forward.
Turn the fuel shutoff valve to the CLOSED position.
TILLING
