COOLING SYSTEM

Your engine is air cooled. For proper engine performance and long life keep your engine clean.

Clean air screen frequently using a stiff- bristled brush.

Keep cylinder fins, levers, and linkage free of dirt and chaff.

Muffler

_.CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come into contact with plug.

TILLER

TO ADJUST HANDLE HEIGHT

Select handle height best suited for your tilling conditions. Handle height will be dif- ferent when tiller digs into soil.

First loosen handle lock lever.(Do not loosen too much or handle locks may

fall out.)

'_

Handle can be positionedat different

,settings between "HIGH" and "LOW" positions.

Retighten handle lock lever securely after adjusting.

MUFFLER

Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not tamper with exhaust system. Damaged mufflers or spark arresters could create a fire hazard. Inspect periodically and re- place if necessary. If your engine is equipped with a spark arrester screen assembly, remove every 50 hours for cleaning and inspection, Replace if dam- aged.

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

Your transmission is sealed and will only require lubrication if serviced.

CLEANING

Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all foreign matter.

Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.

Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.

We do not recommend using a garden

hose to clean your unit unless the muffler, air filter and carburetor are covered to

keep water out. Water in engine can result in a shortened engine life.
