WARNING
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the unit, shut off engine, wait for all parts to come to a
complete stop, disconnect spark plug wire and move wire away from spark plug. Remove ignition key on elec-
tric start models. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
Clean the posts and terminals with a wire
brush, sandpaper or steel wool. After
cleaning, coat the terminals with a thin
coat of petroleum jelly or silicone grease
to protect against corrosion.
3. Periodically check the electrical system
for loose or dirty connections.
4. Periodically check that the battery
clamp is tight. However, do not over-
tighten the clamp as doing so could
damage the battery case.
5. Periodically check that the vent tube on
the side of the battery is not crimped or
pinched anywhere along its length.
Battery Storage
The electric start system has a recharging
circuit that will maintain the battery's state
of charge during the tilling season. When
storing the tiller for extended periods, it is
recommended that the battery be fully
charged before placing it in storage.
(Before reinstalling the battery after
storage, give it a thorough recharge.)
Battery Removal and Installation
When removing and installing the battery,
disconnect and connect the cables in this
order to avoid sparking:
1. To remove the battery, first disconnect
the negative (-) cable from the grounding
screw on the back of the battery bracket
post. Bend the cable away from any metal
parts.
2. Disconnect the negative (-) cable from
the negative (-) battery post.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) cable from
the positive (+) battery post and bend it
