Troy-Bilt Horse User Manual

II
7. When heading up or down a steep hill, don't
shift gears, If you accidentally put the wheel
speed lever in Free Wheeling,
your tiller could
roll out of control. If you must shift on a hill,
reduce tiller motion down to slow speed, then
turn across the hill before you shift gears.
8. Don't try to remove debris, or untangle vege-
tation while the tines are in motion. Put Wheel
Speed
Shift Lever in Free Wheel position. Raise
the tines out of the soil. Then, reverse the direc-
tion of the tines. The tines will usually unwind
themselves when you go forward again. If that
doesn't work, stop the tiller and the engine be- .
fore cleaning the tines.
9. PLEASE REMEMBER, you can always stop
tiller motion very quickly by putting the For-
ward/Reverse Lever into Neutral position.
10.
Don't go in Reverse and back yourself into a
solid obstruction such as a wall, garage door,
tree
or a fence.
11.
For safety's sake, remove the tines when
snow plowing. Revolving tines could be dan-
gerous on icy sidewalks or driveways. Remov-
ing
the tines also aids in banking snow as their
absence allows the rear of the tiller to be set
down further and the Dozer Blade to be raised
higher off the ground.
