Operation Tips

The clutch will transfer maximum power after about two hours of normal operation. During this break-in period
clutch slippage may occur. The clutch should be kept free of oil and other moisture for efficient operation.

Cultivate without placing excessive body weight on the unit. The Tiller operates most efficiently with the weight of the
unit itself.

Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.

Do not spray water on or near the electronics of the Tiller as this may result in damage to the electrical components.

For cold weather operation, store the unit in a cool environment. Transferring the unit from a cold to a warm place
can cause the build up of harmful condensation.


Move engine to a well ventilated area, outdoors, to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Move to an area away from flames or sparks, to
