TRANSPORTING
Before Loading
Always turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
Make sure the fuel cap is securely tightened.
Install the wheels to provide added stability when
transporting (see page 12).
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at
least 15 minutes before loading the tiller on the
transport vehicle. A hot engine and exhaust system
can burn you and can ignite some materials.
Loading
If necessary, loosen the handle bar knobs so that
the tiller upper handle can be collapsed. Be careful
that the throttle cable and engine switch wire are
not pinched or bent when collapsing the upper
handle.
Secure the tiller by tying around the lower handles
just in front and back of the engine as shown.
STORAGE
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping
your tiller troublefree and looking good. The
following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion
from impairing your tiller’s function and
appearance, and will make the engine easier to
start when you use the tiller again.
Cleaning
Wash the tiller, including the area around the tiller
tines.
Wash the engine by hand, and be careful to
prevent water from entering the air cleaner.
NOTICE
Using a garden hose or pressure washing
equipment can force water into the air cleaner.
Water in the air cleaner will soak the filter and can
enter the carburetor or engine, causing damage.
Water on a hot engine can cause damage. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool for at
least 1/2 hour before washing.
If using a garden hose or pressure washing
equipment to clean the tiller, be careful to avoid
getting water into controls and cables, or anywhere
near the engine air cleaner or muffler opening.
After washing the tiller, wipe dry all accessible
surfaces.
Start the engine outdoors, and let it run until it
reaches normal operating temperature to
evaporate any water remaining on the engine.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
After the tiller is clean and dry, touch up any
damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust
with a light film of oil. Lubricate the throttle cable
core with a silicone spray lubricant.
