Cleaning Tine Area
Clean the underside of the tine shield after each use.
The dirt washes off the tines easier if rinsed off
immediately instead of after it dries. Always towel dry
the tiller afterwards and apply a light coat of oil or
silicone to prevent rusting or water damage.
IMPORTANT: Never use a "pressure washer” to clean
your tiller. Water can penetrate tight areas of the tiller
and its chain case and cause serious damage to the
unit.
Belt Replacement
Your tiller has been engineered with belts made of
special material (Kevlar Tensile). They should not be
replaced with an off-the-shelf belt. If belt replacement is
required, order belt or belts by part number from your
nearest authorized service dealer. See parts list.
Reverse Drive Belt
• Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire against
the engine. Remove the belt cover from the left side
of the tiller as follows.
• Remove two self-tapping screws and flat washers
from the front of belt cover. See Figure 14.
• Remove the hex stop nut and flat washer from the
side of the belt cover. Remove belt cover.
