CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE
Recommended tire pressure is 25—30 PSI. If tires do not have equal pressure, tiller will pull to one side.
Low tire pressure may result in damage to tire tube.
LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication of moving mechanical parts is critical for proper care and maintenance. Oil the moving
parts shown at 10 hour intervals using a 30 weight oil.
CLEAN TINE AXLE SHAFT
1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2. Remove spark plug wire and secure from spark plug.
3. Tip the tiller forward. Block the tiller in position so that it rests on the engine mount and the tines are
exposed.
4. Remove all vegetation, string, wire, and other material that may have accumulated on the axle between
the inside set of tines and the seal cover on the transmission housing.
5. Tip the tiller back to a level position.
6. Replace spark plug wire.
STORING THE TILLER
Never store the tiller indoors with fuel in the fuel tank. Never store in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area
where fumes could reach an open ame, a spark or a pilot light as on a furnace, water heater or clothes
dryer. Allow the engine to cool before storing the unit.
Do not remove gasoline while inside a building, near a re, or while you smoke. Gasoline fumes can cause
an explosion or a re.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune—up at an authorized service center will make sure that the tiller will provide
maximum performance for the next season.
