STEP 6: ADD MOTOR OIL
TO ENGINE
The tiller is shipped without oil in the
engine.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the engine
without first adding motor oil. Severe
engine damage will result if the engine is
run without oil.
1. Refer to the separate Engine Owner’s
Manual for engine oil specifications and
capacities.
2. With the tiller on level ground, move the
Depth Regulator Lever (FF, Fig. 2-8) up or
down until the engine is level.
3. Add motor oil as described in the
Engine Owner’s Manual.
4. Move the Depth Regulator Lever all the
way down until the highest notch is
engaged. This places the tines in the
“travel” position, which allows the tiller to
be moved without the tines touching the
ground.
STEP 7: CHECK HARDWARE
FOR TIGHTNESS
Check all nuts and screws for tightness.
STEP 8: CHECK AIR PRESSURE IN
TIRES (units with pneumatic tires)
On tires equipped with air valves, check
the air pressure with a tire gauge. Deflate
or inflate the tires equally to 15 to 20 PSI
(pounds per square inch). Be sure that
both tires are inflated equally or the unit
will pull to one side.
