Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not
tamper with exhaust system. Damaged
mufflers or spark arresters could create a
fire hazard. Inspect periodically and
replace if necessary. If your engine is
equipped with a spark arrester screen
assembly, remove every 50 hours for
cleaning and inspection. Replace if
damaged.

Replace spark plugs at the beginning of
each tilling season or after every 50 hours
of use, whichever comes first. Spark plug

UCT SPECIFICATIONS" on page 4 of this
manual.

foreign matter.

hose to clean your unit unless the muffler,
