Read this Section of the manual thor- oughly before you start the engine. Then, take the time to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of the tiller before using it in the garden.

Find an open, level area and practice using the tiller controls without the tines engaging the soil (put tines in “travel” setting). Only after you’ve become com- pletely familiar with the tiller should you begin using it in the garden.

BREAK-IN OPERATION

1.Change engine oil.

2.Check for loose or missing hardware on unit. Tighten or replace as needed.

3.Check transmission gear oil level.

4.Check tension on forward clutch belt.
