COOLING SYSTEM

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

Clean air screen frequently using a stiff-bristled brush.

Remove blower housing and clean as necessary.

Keep cylinder fins free of dirt and chaff.

SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each tilling season or after every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in "PROD-

UCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 4 of this manual.

TRANSMISSION

Your transmission is sealed and will not require lubrication unless serviced.

MUFFLER

Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not tamper with exhaust system. Dam- aged mufflers or spark arresters could create a fire hazard. Inspect periodically and replace if necessary. If your engine is equipped with a spark arrester screen as- sembly, remove every 50 hours for clean- ing and inspection. Replace if damaged.

CLEANING

Do not clean your tiller when the engine

and transmission are hot. We do not rec- ommend using pressurized water (garden hose, etc.) to clean your unit unless the

gasket area around the transmission and the engine muffler, air filter and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine will shorten the useful life of your tiller.

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

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

Protect painted surfaces with auto- motive type wax.
