Section 3 – ADJUSTMENTS & REPAIR

3.1 SERVICE PARTS & ASSISTANCE

To retain the original quality of your Tiller, use only genuine SNAPPER replacement parts. Specify the model and serial number as found on the nameplate of your Tiller when contacting your SNAPPER Dealer for parts or service assistance.

3.2 STANDING THE TILLER ON END

WARNING

Before attempting any adjustments, maintenance, service, or repairs, stop tines and engine, always remove spark plug wire and secure wire away from spark plug. DO NOT stand Tiller on end with the engine running! Allow engine to cool for at least ten minutes before draining or refilling fuel. Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting engine. If the fuel tank is over half full when the Tiller is placed on end, gasoline may leak from the carburetor vent hole and drip down the outside surface of the engine creating a potential FIRE HAZARD! Gasoline may also leak unnoticed into the engine cylinder and wash away lubricating oil causing engine damage. Take all necessary precautions to prevent fuel leakage BEFORE standing the Tiller on end. Any draining of fuel must be done outside with the engine cool and away from ignition sources. If the Tiller is stored on end for any length of time, check it frequently for signs of fuel and/or oil leakage. Use approved fuel container. DO NOT smoke near open fuel container. DO NOT drain or fill fuel tank indoors or when engine is running. DO NOT run engine indoors.

3.2.1.ENGINE SERVICE: Refer to the engine owner’s manual for details. Engine oil is drained by removing front filler plug and standing Tiller on end. See Figure 8.

3.2.2.SERVICE NOTE: Since a Tiller normally operates under extremely dusty or dirty conditions, the air cleaner, engine oil and cooling fins must be serviced as specified in the engine manual at frequent intervals. The Tiller itself should be serviced as follows:
