WARNING!
Before inspecting, cleaning or
servicing the tiller, shut off the engine and wait for
all the parts to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
the spark plug wire and move the wire away from
the spark plug. Remove the ignition key on the
electric start models. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
Maintenance
Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual packed with your machine
for all engine maintenance.
Tire Pressure
Check the air pressure in both tires every 30 operating hours.
Deflate or inflate both tires evenly to 15- to 20-PSI (pounds per
square inch).
Be sure that both tires have the same air pressure or the tiller will
tend to pull to one side.
