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.

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 arres_ter screen assembly, remove every 50 hours for cleaning and inspection. Replace if dam- aged.

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

TRANSMISSION

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

gloves or other protection when handling tines.
