COOLING
SYSTEM
Your engine is air cooled.
For proper
engine performance
and long life keep
your engine clean.
• Clean air screen
frequently
using a
stiff-bristled
brush.
• Keep cylinder fins, levers, and linkage
free of dirt and chaff.
Muffler
Screen
MUFFLER
Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do
not tamper with exhaust 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
assembly, remove every 50 hours for
cleaning and inspection.
Replace if
damaged.
SPARK
PLUG
Replace spark plugs at the beginning
of
each tilling season or after every 50
hours of use, whichever
comes first.
Spark plug type and gap setting is shown
in "PRODUCT
SPECIFICATIONS"
on
page 4 of this manual.
TRANSMISSION
Once a season, lubricate the right hand
gear case grease fitting with 1 oz. of EP
#1 grease.
CLEANING
Do not clean your tiller when the engine
and transmission
are hot. We do not
recommend
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 automo-
tive type wax.
J_.CAUTION:
Disconnect
spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come into contact with plug.
