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.
