Maintenance
Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual packed with your tiller for all engine
maintenance.
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.
Hardware
Check for loose or missing hardware after every 10 operating hours and tighten or
replace (as needed) before using tiller.
Be sure to check the screws underneath the tiller hood that secure the transmission
cover and the Depth Regulator Lever to the transmission.
