Maintenance
Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual packed with your tiller for
all engine maintenance.
Tire Pressure
Check the air pressure in both tires. The air pressure should be
between 15-20 PSI.
Keep both tires equally inflated to help prevent machine from
pulling to one side.
Hardware
Check for loose or missing hardware after every 10 operating
hours and tighten or replace (as needed) before using tiller
Be sure to check the screws underneath the tiller hood that
secure the transmission cover and the Depth Regulator Lever to
the transmission.
Air Filter
The air cleaner filters dirt and dust out of the air before it enters
the carburetor. Operating the engine with a dirty, clogged air
filter can cause poor performance and damage to the engine.
Never operate the engine without the air cleaner installed.
Inspect and service the air cleaner more often if operating in very
dusty or dirty conditions. Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual
for air cleaner service intervals and instructions.
