MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Your rototiller has been designed and produced by the industry's
leading manufacturer of outdoor power equipment to provide
you with years of reliable operation.
Please read the maintenance schedule in this manual for the tiller,
and the maintenance schedule and recommendations in the
accompanying engine manual. Observe these recommendations
to extend the life of your product.
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-
free operation. Keeping your tiller in top running condition will
prolong its life, and help you obtain optimum performance. It will
also help reduce air pollution. To help you properly care for your
engine, the following pages include a maintenance schedule,
routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance
procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks that
are more difficult, or require special tools, are best handled by
professionals and are normally performed by a technician or
other qualified mechanic.
Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individuals. However, items
must be serviced by an authorized dealer to obtain "no
charge" emissions control warranty service.
The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating
conditions. If you operate your tiller under unusual conditions,
such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or
use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing
dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs
and use.
