WARNING
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the machine, shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop, disconnect spark plug wire and move wire away from spark plug.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
CARBURETOR/GOVERNOR CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS
The carburetor was adjusted at the factory for best operating speed. Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for any adjust- ment information or see your authorized engine dealer.
The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed and protects the engine and all moving parts from damage caused by overspeeding. Do not tamper with the engine governor settings.
OFF SEASON STORAGE
When the tiller won’t be used for an extended period, prepare it for storage as follows:
1.Clean the tiller and engine.
2.Do routine tiller lubrication and check for loose parts and hardware.
3.Protect the engine and perform recom- mended engine maintenance by following the storage instructions found in the Engine Owner’s Manual. Be sure to pro- tect the fuel lines, carburetor and fuel tank from gum deposits by removing fuel or by treating fuel with a fuel stabilizer (follow engine manufacturer’s recommendations).
4.Store unit in a clean, dry area.
5.Never store the tiller with fuel in the fuel tank in an enclosed area where gas fumes could reach an open flame or spark, or where ignition sources are present (space heaters, hot water heaters, fur- naces, etc.).
TILLER ATTACHMENTS
The attachments listed below are available for your tiller. The information is the most current at the time this manual was printed. Contact your authorized dealer or the factory for current information.
BUMPER – The tubular steel bumper surrounds the engine to protect the air cleaner, starter assembly and fuel tank from damage.
FRAME WEIGHTS– Solid steel weights attach to the sides of the tiller frame to provide added traction to the wheels.
