ENGINE OIL
After the first two hours of operating a newengine,
drain the oil from the crankcase while the
engine is still hot and refill the crankcase with
new oil; thereafter change the oil after every 25
hours of operation.
To avoid spilling gasoline on your lawn or
driveway, plan to change the oil when the gasoline
tank and carburetor are empty.
To change the oil, refer to the separate engine
manual.
Check oil level every eight hours of operation. Be
sure level is maintained full to point of overflow-
ing.
AIR CLEANER
Under normal operating conditions, the air
cleaner, located on top of the carburetor, must be
serviced after every ten hours of use. Under ex-
tremely dusty operating conditions, the air
cleaner must be serviced after every hour of
operation.
To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate
engine manual packed with your tiller.

CLEANING ENGINE AND TINE AREA
Any fuel or oil spilled on the tiller should be wiped
off promptly. Dirt, leaves and other debris must
not be left to accumulate around the cooling fins
or the engine or on any part of the tiller. Clean the
underside of the tine shield after each use. The
dirt washes off the tines easier if washed off im-
mediately instead of after it dries.
