STANDING THE TILLER ON END
LLW
WARNING
AYS STOP the engine and DISCONNECT the spark
plug wire BEFORE standing the TILLER on end to
prevent accidental starting! NEVER stand Tiller on end
with the engine running!
WARNING
If the fuel tank is over half full when the Tiller is placed on
end, gasoline may leak from the carburetor vent hole and
drip down the outside surface of the engine creating a
_otential FIRE HAZARD! Gasoline may also leak unnoticed
into the engine cylinder and wash away lubricating oil
causing engine damage. Take all necessary precautions to
_revent fuel leakage BEFORE standing the Tiller on end.
Any draining of fuel must be done outside with the engine
cool and away from ignition sources. If the Tiller is stored on
end for any length of time, check it frequently for signs of fuel
and/or oil leakage.
WARNING
NEVER stand Tiller on end with
engine running!
