Read and follow all instructions in the manual before attempting to operate your outdoor power equipment.

As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. Your machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the safety rules and instructions, both on the machine and in the Operator's Manual, could result in serious injury or death. Important: Troy-Bilt, its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, is concerned about the safety of its customers and others.

Due to the size of the Operator's Manual, some Operator's Manuals are broken down into two or more segments so that the entire Operator's Manual can be downloaded easily. Skip to Main Content. Financing Now Available for Online Purchases. Prior Year Models.

NOTE: The parking brake must be engaged if the operator leaves the seat with the engine running or engine will automatically shut off. Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing the deck lift lever in any of the six different cutting height notches on the right side of the fender. NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not designed to support the weight of the cutting deck. This system was designed for your safety and protection.

However, you MUST check the oil level before operating. Be careful not to overfill. Do not operate the tiller when barefoot or wearing sandals, sneakers, or light footwear. Wear protective footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.

Do not till near underground electric cables, telephone lines, pipes or hoses. If in doubt, contact your telephone or utility company. Warning: Handle fuel with care; it is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive. Take the following precautions:. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. The gas cap shall never be removed or fuel added while the engine is running. Allow the engine to cool for several minutes before adding fuel.

Keep matches, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, open flames and sparks away from the fuel tank and fuel container. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spillage. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated. Never make adjustments when engine is running unless recommended by manufacturer.

Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Exercise extreme caution when on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark plug wire and prevent it from touching the spark plug. Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the machine. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and prevent it from touching the spark plug, and check immediately for the cause.

Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire and prevent it from touching the spark plug, whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the tines, or when making any repairs, adjustments or inspections. Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine unattended. Stop the engine. Disconnect the spark plug wire and move it away from the spark plug. Be sure that both wheels are in the Wheel Drive position.

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine and make certain all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and prevent it from touching the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

The flap on the tine hood must be down when operating the tiller. Never use the tiller unless proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices are in place. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas, a deadly poison that is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Keep children and pets away. Never operate the tiller under engine power if the wheels are in the Freewheel position. In the Freewheel position, the wheels will not hold the tiller back and the revolving tines could propel the tiller rapidly, possibly causing loss of control.

Always engage the wheels with the wheel drive pins in the Wheel Drive position before. Be aware that the tiller may unexpectedly bounce upward or jump forward if the tines should strike extremely hard packed soil, frozen ground, or buried obstacles like large stones, roots, or stumps.

If in doubt about the tilling conditions, always use the following operating precautions to assist you in maintaining control of the tiller:. Walk behind and to one side of the tiller, using one hand on the handle bars Relax your arm, but use a secure hand grip.

Use shallower depth regulator settings, working gradually deeper with each pass. Clear the tilling area of all large stones, roots or other debris. Avoid using downward pressure on the handlebars. If need be, use slight upward pressure to keep the tines from digging too deeply. Before contacting hard packed soil at the end of a row, reduce engine speed and lift the handlebars to raise the tines out of the soil.

In an emergency, stop the tines and wheels by releasing whichever clutch control is engaged. Do not attempt to restrain the tiller. Never operate the tiller at high transport speeds on hard or slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when backing up. Do not operate the tiller on a slope that is too steep for safety.

When on slopes, slow down and make sure you have good footing. Never permit the tiller to freewheel down slopes. Never allow bystanders near the unit. Only use attachments and accessories that are approved by the manufacturer of the tiller. Use tiller attachments and accessories when recommended. Never operate the tiller without good visibility or light. Never operate the tiller if you are tired; or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. Operators shall not tamper with the en- gine-governor settings on the machine; the governor controls the maximum safe operating speed to protect the engine and all moving parts from damage caused by overspeed.

Authorized service shall be sought if a problem exists.
