Service

WARNING! Before inspecting,
cleaning or servicing the tiller, shut off
the engine and wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop.
Disconnect the spark plug. Failure to
follow these instructions properly can
result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
Maintenance
Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual packaged with
your machine for all engine maintenance.
Tines
Clean the underside of the tine shield after each
use. The dirt washes off the tines easier if rinsed off
immediately instead of after it dries. Always towel dry
the tiller afterwards and apply a light coat of oil or
silicone to prevent rusting or water damage.
Never use a pressure washer to clean the
NOTE:
tiller. Water can penetrate tight areas of the
tiller and cause serious damage.
Adjustments
Tine Width
The tilling width is 22" but can increase to 24" by
removing the clevis and cotter pins, sliding each
outer tine out one inch, and securing in this position
with the pins. For cultivation, reduce the tine width
to 13" by removing the outer tines completely. See
Figure 5-1.

Lubrication
Transmission
The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at
the factory. It requires no maintenance. See an
authorized service dealer for any service issues.
Tine Shaft & Wheel Shaft
Remove tine assemblies and wheel and lubricate the
tine shaft and wheel shaft at least once a season.
Off-Season Storage
If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than
30 days, the following steps should be taken to
prepare the tiller for storage.
• Clean the exterior of the engine and the
entire tiller thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as
described in the lubrication instructions.
• The use of pressure washers to clean your tiller
is not recommended. It may cause damage
to pulleys, bearings, or the engine. The use of
pressure washers will result in shortened life
and reduce serviceability.
• Refer to the engine owner's manual for engine
storage instructions.
• Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
• Store tiller in a clean, dry area. Do not store
next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
• When storing any type of power equipment
in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care
should be taken to rustproof the equipment.
Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment
and especially any springs, bearings, and cables.
