CHECK OR FILL ENGINE CRANKCASE
Important: Engine is shipped from factory without oil. You must add engine oil before starting engine.
1. Add oil according to engine manual. Do not overfill. Use clean, high quality detergent oil. Do not
mix oil with gasoline. Oil level must be full. Check the oil level by removing oil fill plug.
2. Always check oil level before starting engine. Refer to engine manual for capacity and type of oil to
use.

LUBRICATION

Proper lubrication of moving mechanical parts is critical for proper care and maintenance. Oil the
moving parts shown at 10 hour intervals using 30 weight oil.
CLEAN TINE AXLE SHAFT
1. Turn off engine. Engine must be cool.
2. Remove spark plug wire and secure from spark plug.
3. Tip the tiller forward. Block the tiller in position so that it rests on the engine mount and the tines are
exposed.
4. Remove all vegetation, string, wire, and other material that may have accumulated on the axle
between the inside set of tines and the seal cover on the transmission housing.
5. Tip the tiller back to a level position.
6. Replace spark plug wire.
(D) How to Prepare for Storage
Never store the tiller indoors with fuel in the fuel tank. Never store in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area
where fumes could reach an open flame, a spark or a pilot light as on a furnace, water heater or clothes
dryer. Allow engine to cool before storing unit.
Do not remove gasoline while inside a building, near a fire, or while you smoke. Gasoline fumes can
cause an explosion or a fire.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up at an authorized service center will make sure that the tiller will
provide maximum performance for the next season.
When the tiller is put in storage for thirty days or more, the following steps should be followed to make
sure the tiller is in good condition the next season.
1. Let the engine run until it is out of gasoline.
2. Change the oil by following instructions under "How to Change the Oil."
3. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour one ounce of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull the
recoil-start grip so that the oil will protect the cylinder. Install a new spark plug in the cylinder. Pull starter
handle slowly a few times to distribute oil. Pull recoil slowly until resistance is felt. This will close the
cylinder valves.
