SECTION 2: FINDING YOUR MODEL NUMBER
This Operator’s Manual is an important part of your new tiller. It will help you assemble, prepare and maintain
your tiller. Please read and understand what it says.
Before you start to prepare your tiller for its first use, please locate the model plate and copy the information
from it in this Operators Manual. The information on the model plate is very important if you need help from
your dealer or the MTD customer support department.
Every tiller has a model plate. You can locate it by standing in the operating position behind the unit
and looking down at the center of the rear tine cover.
The model plate will look like Figure 2.
