NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause engine to run rough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to the carburetor before adjusting carburetor. Do not make unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are satisfactory for most applications and conditions.

SECTION 6: LUBRICATION

WARNING: Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of work on tiller.

Tine Engagement Handle/Lever

Lubricate the pivot points on the tine handle/lever and the cable at least once a season with light oil. The controls must operate freely in both directions.

Pivot Points

Lubricate all pivot points and linkages at least once a season with light oil.

Tine Shafts

Remove the tine assemblies and lubricate the tine shafts at least once a season.

Wheel Shafts

Remove wheel assemblies and lubricate the axle shafts at least once a season.

Transmission

The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. It requires no checking unless the transmission is disassembled. See an authorized service dealer if the transmission is disassembled.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before performing any repairs or maintenance.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Refer to page 13 of this manual for trouble shooting information.

ENGINE

Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine maintenance instructions.

Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow instructions carefully.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to start the engine when the oil level is inadequate.

Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal conditions. Clean after every hour under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should be

serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit.

IMPORTANT: Never run your engine without air cleaner completely assembled.

The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset after every 25 hours of engine operation. Spark plug replacement is recommended at the start of each season; check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifications.

Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush.

Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all dirt and combustible debris from muffler area.

CLEANING THE TINE AREA

Clean the underside of the tine shield after each use. The dirt washes off the tines easier if washed off immediately instead of after it dries.
