WARNING!

Before inspecting, cleaning or

servicing the tiller, shut off the engine and wait for

all the parts to come to a complete stop. Disconnect

the spark plug wire and move the wire away from

the spark plug. Remove the ignition key on the

electric start models. Failure to follow these

instructions can result in serious personal injury or

property damage.

Maintenance

Engine

Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual packed with your machine

for all engine maintenance.

Tire Pressure

Check the air pressure in both tires every 30 operating hours.

Deflate or inflate both tires evenly to 15- to 20-PSI (pounds per

square inch).
Be sure that both tires have the same air pressure or the tiller will

tend to pull to one side.
