SERVICING
The cultivator is constructed to require very little servicing, but the following instructions should be
followed to keep it in perfect working order:
– Follow all the instructions in the engine handbook. It is essential to check the oil level every 4 working
hours and change it about every 50 hours. Refer to the enclosed engine handbook for the oil type.
– Adjust the belt tension using the register on the lever. If this does not give sufficient adjustment, back
off the 4 engine fixing screws and move the engine itself slightly forward, then retighten the screws.
– Clean the air filter often.
