GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tiller does not cover items that  have 

been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.  To receive 

full value from the warranty, the operator must main tain tiller 

as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to 

properly maintain your tiller.
At least once a season, check to see if you should make 

any of the adjustments described in the Service and Ad-

justments section of this manual.
•  Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean 

or replace air filter, and check tines and belts for wear.  

A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper 

air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and 

last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

•  Check engine oil level.
•  Check tine operation.
•  Check for loose fasteners.

LUBRICATION

Keep unit well lubricated (See “LUBRICATION CHART”).
