MUFFLER
Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not
tamper with exhaust system. Damaged
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 tillingseason or after every 50 hours
of use, whichever comes first. Spark plug
type and gap setting is shown in =PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 4 of this
manual.
TRANSMISSION
Once a season, lubricate the righthand
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 willshorten 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.
_I, CAUTION: Disconnect spark plugwire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come intocontact with plug.
