FUEL FILTER
The fuel tank may be fitted with a filter, depending
on tiller model, situated at the fuel tank cap. The
fuel filter can be picked out and should be checked

with a new one when required. In case the inside of
the fuel tank is dirty, it can be cleaned by rinsing the
fuel tank with clean petrol.

cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and
lemon and solvents such as kerosene can damage
plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture
with a soft cloth. The tines and fenders can be
cleaned with water using a garden hose.
