shows the
location
and
identifica-
tion
of
controls
for
your
tiller. Please
study
it
carefully with the
text
that
follows. Listed
di-
rectly below are descriptions
of
what each
con-
trol does and
how
each
functions
to
operate
FORWARD/REVERSE
LEVER-The
highest
lever in the center
(1
in Photo 2/1) acts
as
a
clutch
lever. It provides engine
power
to
both
the tines and
wheels-however,
the wheels also
have a separate
shift
lever described on page
30.
1.
To
go
Forward,
simply
push the
Forward/
Reverse Lever (see Photo 2/2)
down
far enough.
to engage the roller
under
the
block
(shown in
Photo 2/3).
2.
To
go
to Neutral from Forward position, tap
the
lever up to move roller
to
the indentation
of
block-see
Photo 2/4.
Tiller
motion
will stop.
3.
For Reverse
motion,
lift
the
lever all
the
way
up
and hold in reverse position. See
Photo
2/5.
You will also be
lifting
up
on
the
handlebars (see
your
Troy-Bilt
Horse Model Roto
Tiller-Power
Composter.
On the
Troy-Bilt
Horse Model
Tiller
there are
two
levers at the operating position that
con-
trol machine
motion
and one lever
that
controls
tilling
depth.

out
of
the soil.
Let go
of
the lever while it's in Reverse, and
til-
ler
motion
will stop
automatically
(a
safety fea-
ture
for
the operator). As you can see,
the
roller
doesn't have to move very far
from
Neutral
to
Reverse.
In
other
words, you must
lift
up
on
this lever
in
order
to operate the
tiller
in reverse
direc-
tion.
If
your
tiller
moves in reverse
without
your
needing to hold the
clutch
up
in
the
re-
verse position, it is badly
out
of
adjustment.
WARNING: This
is
a dangerous situation. See
Section
7,
page 102, telling
how
to remedy this
situation.
IMPORTANT: Always use the Forward/Re-
verse Lever to
stop
tiller
forward
or
reverse
mo-
tion.
