To start the Toro 5 HP 58070 Tiller, ensure the fuel valve is open, set the throttle to the "FAST" position, and pull the starter rope firmly. If the engine is cold, you may need to use the choke.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting and cleaning the air filter, checking the spark plug, and ensuring all nuts and bolts are tight.
If the tiller won't start, check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, and verify that the engine switch is in the "ON" position.
To change the oil, drain the old oil by removing the drain plug, replace the plug, and refill with the recommended oil type and quantity. Refer to the manual for specific details.
Check if the tine control lever is engaged. If it is, inspect the belt for wear or damage and replace it if necessary. Ensure the tine shaft is free from debris.
Adjust the tilling depth by raising or lowering the drag stake. Higher positions result in shallower tilling, while lower positions allow for deeper tilling.
The recommended spark plug type is usually provided in the owner's manual. Common types are Champion J19LM or equivalent. Check the manual for your specific model.
For winter storage, clean the tiller, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, and store it in a dry place. Cover the tiller to protect it from dust and moisture.
If the engine runs rough, check for a clogged air filter, inspect the spark plug, and ensure the fuel is fresh. Clean or replace parts as needed.
To transport the tiller, ensure the fuel tank is not full to prevent spillage, secure the tiller with straps, and keep it upright to avoid oil leakage.
