SERVICING THE ROTOTILLER
General
The following information will help you make the necessary
checks and perform the procedures required to follow the
normal care recommendations made for your rototiller unit.
If you prefer, your local authorized service dealer can make
these checks and perform the required procedures for you.
Check Belt Tension
Belt tension may decrease over time. It must be adjusted
within the first half hour of operation, and checked after
every two hours of operation. Proper adjustment will
assure long belt life. Too much or too little belt tension will
cause premature belt failure. To check and adjust the
forward belt tension:
1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and secure.
3. With drive safety control lever in the neutral position,
measure length of spring when compressed.
4. Pull down on drive safety control lever and measure
length of spring when stretched out. Ideal length would
be 1/4" longer.
1"
1-1/4"
Check forward belt tension regularly. Too much
or too little tension will cause premature belt
failure.
