MUFFLER
Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not
tamper with exhaust system. Damaged
mufflers or spark arresters could create a
fire hazard. Inspect pedodically and re-
place if necessary. If your engine is
equipped with a spark arrester screen
assembly, remove every 50 hours for
cleaning and inspection. Replace if dam-
aged.
SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of
each tilling season or after every 50 bouts
of use, whichever comes first. Spark plug
type and gap setting is shown in =PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 4 of this
manual.
TRANSMISSION
Your transmission is sealed and will only
require lubricationif it is serviced.
CLEANING
• Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all
foreign matter.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
• Protect painted surfaces with automotive
type wax.
We do not recommend using a garden
hose to clean your unit unless the muffler,
air filter and carburetor are covered to
keep water out. Water in engine can result
in a shortened engine life.
ACAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come into contact with plug.
