HONDA HARMONY FG100 - Manual (Page 14)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the tiller for the first time, please review the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (see
page 4) and the chapter titled BEFORE OPERATION (see page 10).
Even if you have operated other tillers, take time to become familiar with the operation of this tiller’s
controls and handling.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage. Your
engine’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area
and cause illness or death.
If the tiller starts to shake or vibrate, stop the engine immediately. After the tiller tines have completely
stopped, inspect them to determine the cause of the vibration. Sudden vibration is a sign of a hazardous
problem, such as loose or damaged tilling tines (or tiller accessory), hidden objects in the soil, or the
ground that is too hard to till. Do not operate the tiller until the problem is corrected.
Moving The Tiller
The tiller has transport wheels to allow easy
maneuvering to and from the work area. There are
four holes that the transport wheels can be set at.
Select the hole that sets the handlebars at a height
that provides comfortable tiller maneuvering.
Do not move the tiller with the engine running.
Before tilling, remove the transport wheels and
install the drag bar.
Drag Bar Installation
1. Make sure the engine is OFF before installing
the drag bar.
2. Remove the lock pin and the 5/16 x 7/8 inch
clevis pin. Remove the wheel assembly.
3. Install the drag bar with the pointed edge of the
drag bar towards the tiller tines using the
5/16 x 7/8 inch clevis pin and lock pin.
4. When your tilling job is completed, reinstall the
transport wheels in the reverse order of
removal.
Handlebar Adjustment
To adjust the handlebar height, remove the two
handlebar knobs, 5/16-18 x 1 1/2 inch handlebar
bolts, and curved washers. Move the upper
handlebar hole to align with either the upper or
lower holes in the lower handlebar assembly.
