TINE CARE
For best results -- tine blades should be kept
reasonably sharp. The tine blade can be sharpened
on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen tines
while they are mounted to tiller.
SPARE TINE DRIVE BOLTS
• The tiller drive components are protected from
damage by (shearable) grade 5 hex bolts in the
tine assemblies. The hex bolts drive the tines and
hold them in the proper location. Should the tine
assemblies strike or pick up a large hidden object
or become jammed, the hex bolts will break and the
drive components will not be damaged.
Two extra tine hex bolts and nuts are included with
the tiller. They are located in the tiller stake support
bracket on the rear of the tiller.
The tine hex bolts are designed to be loose fit. Do not
attempt to use a bolt or pin that is larger or harder
than the original grade 5 hex bolts.
Prepare your tiller for storage at the end of the season or
if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
CAUTION: Never store the tiller with
gasoline in the tank inside a building, where
fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
Store tiller indoors and cover it to protect from dust
and dirt.
Cover tiller with a suitable protective cover that does
not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic allows
condensation to form and will cause your unit to rust.
ENGINE
Follow instructions in the Engine Manual.
TILLER
Clean entire tiller (See CLEANING in the
MAINTENANCE section of the manual).
Inspect belts and replace if necessary (See belt
replacement instructions in the SERVICE AND
ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual.
Lubricate as instructed in the MAINTENANCE
section of this manual.
Check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage,
breakage, and wear. Replace if necessary.

WARNING: Never cover tiller while engine
and exhaust areas are still warm.
