OFF SEASON STORAGE
Thoroughly
clean all external surfaces and tines before
storing the Tiller. The Tiller may be stored on end,
however, the following steps must be taken:
1. Drain gasoline from fuel system and drain the engine
crankcase oil (refer to engine manual for details).
2. After standing the Tiller on end, check the plugs in the
chain case for leakage.
After extended period, some
grease may seep thru upper bearing races.
3. Remove
both
wheels
and
grease
wheel
shafts.
Reinstall wheels. Remove both tines and grease tine
shafts. Reinstall tines. Grease these shafts when tiller
is stored for long periods
of time to prevent rust
buildup.
Rust buildup will cause wheels and tines
difficult to remove.
4. At the start of the new season,
replenish
engine
crank-case oil and add gasoline to the fuel tank after
returning the Tiller to its wheels.
5. Before
starting,
move the ENGINE
CONTROL
to
STOP and pull rope starter slowly several times.
If
excessive
resistance
is felt, remove the spark plug
and pull rope starter rapidly to spin the engine and
clear oil from the cylinder.
Clean and reinstall spark
plug before attempting to start the engine.
