ENGINE
TO ADJUST
CARBURETOR
The carburetor
has a high speed fixed
jet and has been preset at the factory
and adjustment
should not be neces-
sary. However, minor adjustments
may
be required to compensate
for differences
in fuel, temperature,
altitude or load.
If
the carburetor
does need adjustment,
see
engine manual.
High speed stop is factory adjusted.
Do
not adjust or damage may result.
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed,
overspeeding
the
engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous.
If you think
the engine-governed
high speed needs
adjusting,
contact your nearest authorized
service center/department,
which has
the proper equipment
and experience to
make any necessary
adjustments.
Immediately
prepare your tiller for storage
at the end of the season or if the unit will
not be used for 30 days or more.
_,CAUTION:
Never store the tiller with
gasoline in the tank inside a building
where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
TILLER
1. Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING"
in the Maintenance
section of this
manual).
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary
(See belt replacement
instructions in
the Service and Adjustments
section
of this manual).
3. Lubricate as shown in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.
4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws
are securely fastened.
Inspect moving
parts for damage,
breakage and wear.
Replace if necessary.
5. Touch up all rusted or chipped
paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important
to prevent
gum deposits
from
forming
in essential
fuel system
parts such
as the carburetor,
fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during
stor-
age. Also,
alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or using
ethanol
or methanol)
can attract
moisture
which
leads to
separation
and formation
of acids
during
storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel
system
of an engine
while
in storage.
• Empty
the fuel tank by starting
the en-
gine and letting
it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor
are empty.
• Never use engine
or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of
fuel gum
deposits
during
storage.
Add
stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or stor-
age container.
Always
follow
the mix ratio
found
on stabilizer
container.
Run engine
at least 10 minutes
after adding
stabilizer
to allow
the stabilizer
to reach
the car-
buretor.
Do not empty
the gas tank and
carburetor
if using
fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE
OIL
Drain oil (with engine
warm)
and replace
with clean
oil.
(See "ENGINE"
in the
Maintenance
section
of this manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove spark plug.
2. Pour 1 ounce (29 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
3. Pull starter handle slowly several times
to distribute oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline
from one season
to another.
• Replace
your
gasoline
can if your
can
starts to rust.
Rust and/or
dirt in your
gasoline
will cause
problems.
• If possible,
store your
unit indoors
and
cover
it to give protection
from dust and
dirt.
• Cover
your unit with a suitable
protec-
tive cover that does
not retain
moisture.
Do not use plastic.
Plastic
cannot
breathe
which
allows
condensation
to
form
and will cause
your
unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never
cover tiller while
engine
and exhaust
areas are still warm.
