Murray, Inc. warrants to the original purchaser that this unit shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of Two (2) Years from the date of purchase; however, this warranty does not cover Normal Wear Parts (except as noted below) or engines, accessories, transmissions, and transaxles supplied through other companies that furnish their own warranties and provide service through their authorized field service facilities. For additional information, see the warranties covering these particular parts. If you are uncertain whether your unit contains or is equipped with one or more of these parts, consult your dealer prior to purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions noted in this Limited Warranty, we shall, at our option, repair or replace at no cost to the original purchaser any part covered by this Limited Warranty during the applicable warranty period.

Normal Wear Parts are defined as belts, tines, pulley adapters, wheels, and pneumatic tires. These parts are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship as delivered with the product. Any claim for repair or replacement of Normal Wear Parts must be made within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase. No claims involving damage caused from material use, abuse or misuse will be honored.

SAFETY RULES

SAFETY DECALS

This rototiller unit has been designed and manufactured to provide you with the safety and reliability you would expect from an industry leader in outdoor power equipment manufacturing.

Although reading this manual and the safety instructions it contains will provide you with the necessary basic knowledge to operated this equipment safely and effectively, we have placed several safety labels on the tiller to remind you of this important information while you are operating the unit.

These important safety labels are illustrated below, and are shown here to help familiarize you with the location and content of the safety messages you will see as you perform normal tilling operations. Please review these labels now, and if you have any questions regarding their meaning or how to comply with these instructions, reread the complete safety instruction text on the preceding pages, or contact your local dealer.

Should any of these labels become unreadable because of being worn, faded, or otherwise damaged during the use of your tiller, please use the part number information provided to order a replacement label from your local authorized dealer.

These labels are easily applied, and will act as a constant visual reminder to you, and others who may use the equipment, to follow the safety instructions necessary for safe, effective operation of your rototiller.

The advantage of the MURRAY gear drive rototiller over other front tine tillers, is the exclusive unfolding and flexible drag bar. This gives– 1the– Murraygear drive tiller its stability and its versatility. For easy transport, fold the wheels under the engine. During operation, the wheels unfold back and the drag bar folds down. The long length between the tines and the depth regulator level make this the most comfortable front tine tiller on the market.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

UNPACK TILLER

1. Open top of carton and remove handlebar assembly.

CAUTION

Do not try to lift the rototiller from the carton.

2. Cut open end of carton and remove machine:

The right and left sides of your rototiller are determined from the operating position as you face the direction of forward travel.

ADJUSTMENTS

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After half hour of operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to initial stretch. Thereafter, check tension after every 2 hours of operation.

To increase belt tension:

1.Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8" increments.

2.Tighten lower jam nut.

3.Check adjustment.

This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts have no more adjustment left. If no more adjustment can be made, belt may have to be replaced.

OPERATION

PRE-START INSPECTION

1.Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts and bolts are secure.

2.Check oil level in engine crankcase. See your engine manual for procedure and specifications.

3.Inspect air cleaner for cleanliness. See your engine manual for procedure.

4.Check the fuel supply. Fill the fuel tank no closer than

1 inch from top of tank to provide space for expansion. See your engine manual for fuel recommendations.

5.Be sure spark plug is tightened securely and spark plug wire is attached.

6.Check depth regulator lever position.

Engine is shipped from factory without oil. You must add engine oil before starting engine.

START-UP

The controls required to start and run the rototiller are located on the engine and are marked "Choke" and "Throttle".

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.

CAUTION

Please do not start your tiller until you have read the Manual that came with your engine, and the sections in this manual titled Controls, Adjustments and Safety. If you have read these, follow the steps below to start your tiller. Always perform this pre- start checklist before starting the engine.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is hot or running. Always move outdoors to fill the tank.

Cold Starts

1.Move choke lever to full choke position.

2.Move throttle lever to "start".

3.When starting, operator should place free hand where indicated and start the engine from the operator position.

4.Pull starting rope out slowly one time and allow to return normally.

5.Pull starting rope out rapidly, and allow rope to return normally.

6.When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to "no choke" position and increase throttle speed.

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 "start" position.

2.When starting, operator should place free hand where indicated and start the engine from the operator position.

3.Pull starting rope out rapidly until engine starts. Allow rope to return normally.

4.Adjust throttle speed to "high" for best tiller action.

Idle Speed

Use the "low" position on the throttle lever to reduce stress on the engine when tilling is not being performed. Lowering the engine speed to "idle" the engine will help extend the life of the motor, as well as conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the equipment.

Operating Speed

For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to "fast".

Check Belt Tension

Belt tension may decrease over time. It must be adjusted within the first half hour of operation, and checked after every two hours of operation. Proper adjustment will assure long belt life. Too much or too little belt tension will cause premature belt failure. To check and adjust the forward belt tension:

1.Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.

2.Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and secure.

3.With drive safety control lever in the neutral position, measure length of spring when compressed.

4.Pull down on drive safety control lever and measure length of spring when stretched out. Ideal length would be 1/4" longer.
