SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each tilling season or after every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in “PROD- UCT SPECIFICATIONS” on page 4 of this manual.
TRANSMISSION
Once a season, lubricate the right hand gear case grease fitting with 1 oz. of EP #1 grease.
CLEANING
Do not clean your tiller when the engine and transmission are hot. We do not rec- ommend using pressurized water (garden hose, etc.) to clean your unit unless the gasket area around the transmission and the engine muffler, air filter and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine will shorten the useful life of your tiller.
•Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all foreign matter.
•Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.
•Protect painted surfaces with auto- motive type wax.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come into contact with plug.
