Set-Up
Tire Pressure
Check the air pressure with a tire gauge. Deflate or
inflate the tires equally to between 15 and 20 PSI.
NOTE:
Be sure that both tires are inflated
equally or the tiller will pull to one side.
Gas & Oil Fill Up
WARNING!
Use extreme care when
handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable and the vapors
are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or
running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars,
pipes and any other sources of ignition.
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed
in the Engine Operator’s Manual packed separately
with your tiller. Read the instructions carefully.
5.
Tighten all the handlebar mounting hardware
securely.
Move Tiller Off Crate
To roll the tiller off the shipping platform, put the
wheels in freewheel, as follows:
1.
Place a sturdy block under the transmission to
raise one wheel about 1” off the ground.
2.
Remove the wheel drive pin from the wheel
hub and wheel shaft. See Figure 3-5.

3.
Slide the wheel fully inward on the wheel
shaft. Reinstall the wheel drive pin through the
wheel shaft only (not through the wheel hub).
See Figure 3-5. The wheel should now spin
freely (freewheel) on the wheel shaft. Repeat
with the other wheel.
4.
Use the handlebar to roll the tiller to a flat area.
NOTE:
Before starting the engine, the wheels
must be placed in the WHEEL DRIVE position
(pins through wheel hubs and wheel shaft).
