THE ENGINE ON YOUR REAR TINE TILLER HAS BEEN SHIPPED DRY.
BE SURE TO SERVICE THE ENGINE ACCORDING TO THE ENGINE
OWNER’S MANUAL PRIOR TO STARTING.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE NOT WARRANTIED BY THE
ENGINE MANUFACTUROR.
WARNING:
Do not fill closer than ½” from the top of the fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow
for fuel expansion. If gasoline is accidentally spilled, move the tiller away from the area of the
spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have disappeared.
CAUTION:
Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (gasohol, ethanol, methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system or an entire engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the
fuel system should be empty before storage for periods over 30 days. For more information,
refer to the engine owner’s manual. Use fresh fuel each season. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may result.
THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN FACTORY SERVICED WITH “00” GREASE.
