MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE GUIDELINES
• Keep machine, attachments, and accessories in safe working condition.
• Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts, and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• To prevent accidental starting, always disconnect and secure the spark plug wire from the spark
plug before performing tiller maintenance.
• Never run the engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
• Always allow muffler to cool before filling fuel tank.
• Never store equipment with gasoline in the tank inside a closed building where fumes may reach
an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any building.
• Always refer to the operator’s guide instructions for important details if the tiller is to be stored
for an extended period.
