Set-Up

Tires

Use a tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure in both tires. Deflate or inflate both tires equally to between 15 PSI and 20 PSI. Be sure that both tires are inflated equally or the tiller will pull to one side.

Gas & Oil Fill-Up

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual packed seperately with your tiller. Read the instructions carefully.

Warning! Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extrememly flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and any other sources of ignition.

Transmission Gear Oil

The transmission was filled with gear oil at the factory. However, be sure to check the oil level at this time to make certain it

is correct. See the Maintenance & Adjustments Section for instructions on checking and adding transmission gear oil.
