Tires
Recommended operating tire pressure is
approximately 14 p.s.i, on 14 inch tires and 20 p.s.i, on
16 inch tires. (Check sidewall of tire for tire
manufacturer's recommended pressure). Maximum tire
pressure under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained on both tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean
and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim
generously.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force sufficient
to cause serious injury.
BeltReplacement
Your tiller has been engineered with a belt made of
special material (Kevlar Tensile) for longer life and
better performance. It should not be replaced with an
off-the-shelf belt. Order all belts through you authorized
service dealer.
• Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire against
the engine.
• Remove the belt cover from the left side of the tiller
by removing two torx head screws from the top of
belt cover.
• Remove two hex cap nuts and flat washers from
front side of the belt cover. Remove the hex nut and
flat washer at the back of the cover.
• Remove the belt keeper assembly located behind
the engine pulley by removing two hex bolts and
lock washers. See Figure 11.
• Remove belt and reassemble the new belt. Follow
instructions in reverse order.
NOTE: Upon reassembly, make certain the belt is
routed over the idler pulley and inside of belt keepers by
engine pulley. See Figure 11.

0ff-Seas0nStorage
If the tiller will not be used for a period longer than 30
days, the following steps should be taken to prepare the
tiller for storage.
• Clean the exterior of engine and the entire tiller
thoroughly. Lubricate the tiller as described in the
lubrication instructions.
• We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers to clean your unit. They may cause
damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys,
bearings or the engine. The use of pressure
washers will result in shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
• Refer to the engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions.
• Wipe tines with oiled rag to prevent rust.
• Store tiller in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in
an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment and especially any
springs, bearings, and cables.
