Maintenance
Engine
Refer to the Engine Maintenance
section for all engine
maintenance.
Tire Pressu re
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.
Check for loose or missing hardware
after every 10 operating
hours and tighten
or replace -- as needed
-- before reusing the
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 and/or 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 Maintenance
section for air cleaner service intervals
and instructions.
