Be sure that both tires are inflated equally or the tiller will pull to
one side.

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the
Engine Operator's Manual packed separately with your tiller.
Read the instructions carefully.
WARNING!
Use extreme care when handling

vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and any other
sources of ignition.
Transmission Gear Oil
The transmission was filled with gear oil at the factory. However,
be sure to check the oil level at this time to make certain it
is correct. See the Maintenance & Adjustments Section for
instructions on checking and adding transmission gear oil.
