GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The warranty on this tiller does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain tiller as instructed in this manual. Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your tiller. All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season. • Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean or replace air filter, and check tines and belt for wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer. LUBRICATION CHART  TINE CONTROL  ENGINE BEFORE EACH USE • • • Check engine oil level.  IDLER ARM LUBRICATION Keep unit well lubricated (See “LUBRICATION CHART”) . SAE 30 OR 10W-30 MOTOR OIL REFER TO MAINTENANCE “ENGINE” SECTION 10 MAINTENANCE Disconnect spark plug wire before performing any maintenance (except carburetor adjustment) to prevent accidental starting of engine. Keep the engine free of grass, leaves, spilled oil, or fuel. Remove fuel from tank before tipping unit for maintenance. Clean muffler area of all grass, dirt, and debris. Do not touch hot muffler or cylinder fins as contact may cause burns. ENGINE LUBRICATION Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SG-SL. Select the oil’s SAE viscosity grade according to your expected temperature.

Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil. Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year if the tiller is not used for 50 hours in one year. Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil filler plug securely each time you check the oil level. 11 and 12) Determine temperature range expected before oil change. All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL. • Be sure tiller is on level surface. • Oil will drain more freely when warm.
