Tires
Recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 20 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire
manufacturer’s recommended pressure). Maximum tire
pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained on both tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean
and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim
generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads.
WARNING:
Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/rim
assembly to burst with force sufficient to
cause serious injury.
SECTION 9: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30
days, the following steps should be taken to prepare the
tiller for storage.
•
Clean the exterior of engine and the entire tiller
thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as described in the
lubrication instructions.
•
We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers to clean your unit. They may cause
damage to pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use
of pressure washers will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.
•
Refer to the engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions.
•
Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
•
Store tiller in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE:
When storing any type of power equipment in
an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment, especially any springs,
bearings and cables.
