SET-UP
Tire Pressure
Check the air pressure in both tires. The air pressure should be
between 15-20 PSI. Keep both tires equally inflated to help prevent
machine from pulling to one side.
Checking and Adding Oil
The engine is shipped without oil in the engine. You must fill the
engine with oil before operating. Running the engine with insufficient
oil can cause serious engine damage and void the product warranty.
Initial Use
1. Remove the oil fill dipstick.
2. Place the tiller on level ground, use a funnel to empty entire
contents of the oil bottle provided with the unit into the engine.
3. Replace the oil fill dipstick and tighten.
4. Checking and adding oil
1. Place the tiller on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe the dipstick clean. See
Figure 9.

3. Insert the cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
4. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick. If the level is low, slowly add oil
until oil level registers between high (H) and low (L), Figure 9.
NOTE: Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause smoking, hard
starting, or spark plug fouling.
5. Replace and tighten cap/dipstick firmly before starting engine.
NOTE: DO NOT allow oil level to fall below the "L" mark on the
dipstick. Doing so may result in equipment malfunctions or damage.
NOTE: To change the oil on your engine, see the Serice and
Maintenance section of this manual.
