MAINTENANCE
STEPS FOR WORKING ON EQUIPMENT
1. Turn off engine switch.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
3. Securely place the disconnected spark plug wire away
from the spark plug and any metal parts. This must al-
ways be done or arcing may occur between spark plug
wire and metal parts.
4. Replace or repair the part on the cultivator.
5. Check all parts that were repaired, or removed during
repair, that they are secure and fit correctly.
Note: Never replace parts that are not
specifically designed for the cultivator.
6. Reconnect the spark plug wire.
CULTIVATOR MAINTENANCE
1. The transmission case has grease installed at the factory.
It is recommended that once a year the gear case be split
by a qualified service professional and the grease
level checked. Add a molylithium type grease only if
level of grease is below top of the gears.
DO NOT
OVERFILL.
2. Keep all screws, nuts, and bolts tight.
3. 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.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Read the maintenance schedule and observe these
recommendations to extend the life of your engine.
To help you properly care for your engine, the following
pages include a maintenance schedule, routine
inspection procedures, and simple maintenance
procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks
that are more difficult, or require special tools, are best
handled by professionals and are normally performed by
a technician or other qualified mechanic.
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individuals.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating
conditions. If you operate your engine under unusual
conditions, such as
sustained high-load or
high-temperature
operation, or use in
unusually wet or dusty
conditions, consult your
servicing dealer for
recommendations
applicable to your
individual needs and
use. * Service more frequently
