Daily Checklist for the DR ROTO-HOG Mini Tiller
To help maintain your DR ROTO-HOG Mini Tiller for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist
each time you use your machine.
[ ] FUEL: Fill the Fuel Tank with a fresh unleaded gasoline. See page 9.
[ ] ENGINE: It is very important to keep the Engine clean. Remove dirt and other debris from the Engine Cooling Fins.
A dirty Engine retains heat and can cause damage to internal Engine components.
[ ] HARDWARE: Check all nuts and bolts to be sure that the components are secure.
[ ] FRAME: Check all welds to be sure that the Frame is intact and secure.
[ ] TINES: Make sure that the Tine Assemblies and Hood are free of accumulated debris.
End of Season and Storage
If your DR ROTO-HOG Mini Tiller will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a fuel stabilizer. This will
prevent sediment from gumming up the carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the fuel or tank, remove it by
draining the tank. Completely fill the tank with a fresh fuel and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or fuel
additive. Run the Engine for a short time to allow the additive to circulate.
Remove the Spark Plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the cylinder hole. Replace the Plug and pull the
Recoil Starter Rope until you feel strong resistance. This will coat the Piston and seat the Valves to prevent moisture
buildup.
Clean or replace the Engine Air Filter Element. See page 15.
Clean dirt and debris from the Engine Cylinder Head Cooling Fins, Debris Screen, and Muffler.
Clean out residual debris from the under the Tines Hood and Tine Assemblies.
Touchup all rusted or chipped paint surfaces. Sand them lightly before painting.
Be sure all Nuts, Bolts, and Screws are securely fastened.
Inspect moving parts for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
If possible, store your DR ROTO-HOG Mini Tiller inside, but not near an open flame or spark such as found in a
water heater.
After the DR ROTO-HOG Mini Tiller has cooled, cover the machine with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture. Do not use plastic as this material cannot breathe; it also allows condensation to form, which will
cause your machine to rust.
Store 4-cycle Tiller engine in a vertical position.
Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection,
flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position to
stop the
engine, wait five minutes to allow all parts to cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.
