SECTION 6: MAINTAINING YOUR TILLER
Lubrication
Always stop engine and disconnect spark
plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or
doing any kind of maintenance on your
tiller.
Pivot Points:
Remove the belt cover and lubricate all
moving parts and pivot points at least once a season.

The chain case is lubricated and sealed
at the factory.

Follow the engine manual for lubrication
specifications and instructions.

Remove tines and lubricate shaft with light oil.

Cleaning
•
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush.
•
Keep the cooling system (blower housing area)
clean to permit proper air circulation. Be certain to
remove all dirt and combustible debris from muffler
area.
•
Clean the underside of the tine shield after each
use. Dirt washes off the tines easier if washed off
immediately.
Replacing Belt
•
Disconnect and ground spark plug wire against the
engine.
•
Lift the belt cover assembly off the tiller. Be careful
not to bend or kink the clutch cable.
•
Remove the belt and position the new belt on
engine pulley and chain case pulley.
NOTE:
Upon reassembly of belt cover, place the belt
over top of the idler pulley and between engine pulley
and weld pin on belt cover assembly. See Figure 9.
•
Fasten belt cover assembly in position. Secure with
the hardware removed earlier.

Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine
maintenance instructions.
•
Maintain engine oil as instructed in the engine
manual.
•
Poor engine performance and flooding usually
indicate that the air cleaner needs to be serviced.
For instructions, refer to the engine manual.
•
The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap
reset once a season. For instructions, refer to the
engine manual.
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.
•
Refer to the engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions.
•
Remove tines from the tine shaft and lubricate shaft
with oil.
•
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.
