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, the 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 belts for wear. A new spark plug and clean air ﬁlter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

•Check engine oil level.

•Check tine operation.

•Check for loose fasteners.
