GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this tiller does not cover
items that have been subjected to op­
erator abuse or negligence. To receive full
value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain tiller as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your tiller.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjust­
ments section of this manual should be
checked at least once each season.
