GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this tiller does not cover
items that have been subjected to op-
erator abuse or negligence. To receive full
value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain tiller as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your tiller.
At least once a season, check to see if
you should make any of the adjustments
described in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.
• Once a year you should replace the
spark plug, clean or replace air filter,
and check tines and belts for wear. A
new spark plug and clean air filter as-
