Set-Up
Tires
For shipping purposes, the tires may be overinflated. Check the
air pressure in each tire and adjust them to between 10 and 20
pounds per square inch. You must inflate each tire to equal air
pressures to prevent the tiller from pulling to one side.
Gas & Oil Fill-Up
Service the engine with gasolina and oil as instructed in the
Engine Operator’s Manual packed seperately with your tiller.
Read the instructions carefully.
WARNING!
Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. neve fuel the machine indoors
or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish
cigarettes, cigars, pipes and any other sources of
ignition.
Transmission Gear Oil
The transmission was filled with gear oil at the factory. However,
be sure to check the oil level at this time to make certain it
is correct. See the Maintenance & Adjustments section for
instructions on checking and adding transmission gear oil.
