Engine Cleaning

Keeping the engine clean will help to ensure smooth operation and
prevent damage from overheating. Refer to the Engine Owner's
Manual for engine cleaning service intervals and instructions. Be
sure that the muffler is cool before servicing the engine.

Air Cleaner Service

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 Owner's Manual for air
cleaner service intervals and instructions.

Engine Oil Service

Check the engine oil level before each use and after every five
hours of continuous operation. Running the engine when it is low
on oil will quickly ruin the engine.
It is recommended that you change the motor oil after every 10
hours of operation and even sooner when operating in extremely
dirty or dusty conditions.
a. To Check the Engine oil level:
1. Park the tiller on a level area and shut off the engine.
2. Level the engine (use the Depth Regulator Lever to adjust the
engine angle).
3. Clean around the oil dipstick to prevent dirt from falling into
the crankcase.
4. On engines with a dipstick, remove it and wipe it clean.
Reinsert the dipstick, tighten it securely, and remove it. Add
oil as needed to bring the level up to the FULL mark. Wipe
dipstick clean each time oil level is checked. Do not overfill.
Tighten dipstick securely.

B. To Change the Engine oil:
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly filled with the recommended type and amount
of oil. Damage to the tiller as a result of failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
