A Tip for Extending Your Engine’s Life

After you start the engine, let your tiller warm up for two to three minutes before you use it. Then, before you put your tiller away, let it idle for a minute to give the engine a chance to cool down.

How to Stop the

Engine

Simply push the o/I “stop/start” switch to “o” (Picture 3). This will stop the engine instantly. If it should ever fail to do so, just pull out the choke button. The engine will stop at once.

About the Choke

The choke controls the amount of air drawn into the engine. Your tiller will run only

if the choke is open — that is, if the choke is pushed in.

A Special Feature (with the idle set properly and the engine running)

Even when the engine is running, the tines won’t turn unless you press the throttle lock out button and squeeze the throttle lever on the handlebars. And, when you release the throttle lever, the tines will stop.
