STEP 3: Move Tiller Off Shipping Platform

To move the tiller without the engine running, put the wheels in their FREEWHEEL position, as described below.

1. Use a sturdy block to raise one wheel off the ground.

2. Remove the hairpin cotter (L, Fig. 2-3) and wheel drive pin (M). Slide the wheel inward on the wheel shaft (N). Reinstall the wheel drive pin and hairpin cotter through the wheel shaft only (not through the wheel hub). Repeat with the other wheel.

3. Using the handlebar as a lever, roll the tiller to a flat area.

IMPORTANT: Before starting the engine, the wheels must be placed in their WHEEL DRIVE position (pins through wheel hubs and wheel shaft). This procedure is described in “Wheel Drive Pins” in Section 3.
