To roll the tiller off the shipping platform, put the wheels in
freewheel, if they are not already from the factory, as follows:

wheel about 1" off the ground. Remove the wheel drive pin
from the wheel hub and wheel shaft. See Fig. 3-5.

Slide the wheel fully inward on the wheel shaft. Reinstall
the wheel drive pin through the wheel shaft only (not
through the wheel hub). See Fig. 3-5. The wheel should
now spin freely (freewheel) on the wheel shaft. Repeat with
the other wheel.
3. Use the handlebar to roll the tiller to a flat area.
Set-Up
Tire Pressure
Check the air pressure with a tire gauge. Deflate or inflate the
tires equally to between 15 and 20 PSI. DO NOT EXCEED 20 P.S.I.
NOTE: Be sure that both tires are inflated equally or the tiller will
pull to one side.
Gas& OilFillUp
_L ARNING! Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and any other
sources of ignition.
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the
Engine Operator's Manual packed separately with your tiller.
Read the instructions carefully.
Transmissi0n/Gear0il
The transmission was filled with gear oil at the factory. However,
you should check the gear oil level at this time to make certain
it is correct. Refer to the Maintenance & Adjustments section for
instructions on checking the transmission/gear oil.
NOTE: Do not operate the tiller if the gear oil level is low. Doing
so will result in severe damage to the transmission components.
