CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
MUFFLER
Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not tamper with
exhaust system. Damaged mufflers or spark arresters could
create a fire hazard. Inspect periodically and replace if
necessary. If your engine is equipped with a spark arrester
screen assembly, remove every 50 hours for cleaning and
inspection. Replace if damaged.
SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each tilling season
or after every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Spark
plug type and gap setting is shown in “PRODUCT SPECIFI-
CATIONS” on page 3 of this manual.
TRANSMISSION
Your transmission is sealed and will only require lubrication
if it is serviced.
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come into
contact with plug.

CLEANING
Do not clean your tiller when the engine and transmission are
hot. We do not recommend using pressurized water (garden
hose, etc.) to clean your unit unless the gasket area around
the transmission and the engine muffler, air filter and
carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine will
shorten the useful life of your tiller.
•
Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all foreign matter.
•
Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline,
oil, etc.
•
Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.
