MUFFLER
Do not operate

Do
not tamper

system.
Dam-
aged mufflers
or spark arresters
could
create
a fire hazard.
Inspect
periodically
and replace
if necessary.
If your engine
is
equipped
with a spark arrester
screen
as-
sembly,
remove
every 50 hours for clean-
ing and inspection.

SPARK
PLUG
Replace
spark
plugs at the beginning
of
each tilling season
or after every 50 hours
of use, whichever
comes
first.
Spark
plug

TRANSMISSION
Once a season,
lubricate
the right hand
gear case grease

#1 grease.
CLEANING
Do not clean your tiller when
the engine
and transmission
are hot. We do not rec-
ommend
using pressurized
water (garden
hose, etc.) to clean your unit unless
the
gasket
area around
the transmission
and
the engine
muffler,
air filter and carburetor
are covered
to keep water out. Water
in
engine
will shorten
the useful
life of your
tiller.
• Clean engine,
wheels,
finish,
etc. of all
foreign
matter.
• Keep finished
surfaces
and wheels
free
of all gasoline,
oil, etc.
• Protect
painted
surfaces
with auto-
motive
type wax.
