MAINTENANCE

Disconnect spark plug wire before performing any maintenance (except car bu re tor adjustment) to

prevent accidental start ing of engine.

Prevent fires! Keep the engine free of grass, leaves, spilled oil, or fuel. Re move fuel from tank

before tipping unit for maintenance. Clean muffler area of all grass, dirt, and debris.

Do not touch hot muffler or cylinder fins as contact may cause burns.

ENGINE

LUBRICATION

Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service

classification SG-SL. Select the oil’s SAE vis cos i ty grade

according to your expected temperature.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, these multi viscosity oils

will result in increased oil consumption when used above

32°F (0°C). Check your engine oil level more frequently to

avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at least

once a year if the tiller is not used for 50 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine

and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Add SAE

30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil filler plug securely

each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 11 and 12)

Determine temperature range expected before oil change.

All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL.

• Ensure tiller is on level surface.

• Oil will drain more freely when warm.

• Catch oil in a suitable container.

• Remove drain plug.

• Tip tiller forward to drain oil.

CLEANING AIR CLEANER

A dirty air cleaner element will cause starting difficulty,

power loss, engine malfunctions, and shorten engine life

extremely. Always keep the air cleaner element clean.

Wash and clean the urethane foam with detergent. After

cleaning, dry it. Clean the urethane foam element every

50 hours.

• Second element (See Fig.13)

Clean by tapping gently to remove dirt and blow off dust.

Never use oil. Clean the paper element every 50 hours

of operation, and replace element set every 200 hours.

Clean and replace air cleaner elements more often when

operating in dusty environments.
