MUFFLER
Do not operate

Dam-
aged mufflers
or spark
arresters
could
create
a fire hazard.
Inspect

If your engine

arrester
screen
as-
sembly,

50 hours

ing and inspection.

SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of
each tilling season or after every 25 hours
of use, whichever
comes first. Spark plug
type and gap setting are shown in "PROD-
UCT SPECIFICATIONS"
on page 4 of this
manual.
TRANSMISSION
Your transmission
is sealed and will not
require lubrication unless serviced.
CLEANING
Do not clean your tiller when the engine
and transmission
are hot. We do not rec=
ommend using pressurized
water (garden
hose, etc.) to clean your unit unless the
gasket area around the transmission
and
the engine muffler, air filter and carburetor
are covered to keep water out. Water in
engine will shorten the useful life of your
tiller.
• Clean engine, wheels, finish, etc. of all
foreign matter.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
• Protect painted surfaces with automo-
tive type wax.
