Tires

Recommended operating tire pressure is 
approximately 20 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire 
manufacturer’s recommended pressure). Maximum tire 
pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire 
pressure should be maintained on both tires.

When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean 
and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim 
generously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads.

WARNING: 

Excessive pressure (over 30

p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to
cause serious injury.

SECTION 9:  OFF-SEASON STORAGE

If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30 
days, the following steps should be taken to prepare the 
tiller for storage.

Clean the exterior of engine and the entire tiller 
thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as described in the 
lubrication instructions.

We do not recommend the use of pressure 
washers to clean your unit. They may cause 
damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys, 
bearings or the engine. The use of pressure 
washers will result in shortened life and reduce 
serviceability.

Refer to the engine manual for correct engine 
storage instructions.

Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.

Store tiller in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to 
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: 

When storing any type of power equipment in

an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment, especially any springs,
bearings and cables.
