Do not place flammable objects close to the engine.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the tiller is on a
level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.

Check the Engine

• Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of
oil or gasoline leaks.
• Check the oil level (see page 32).
• Check the air filter (see page 36). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow
to the carburetor, reducing engine and tiller performance.
• Check the fuel level (see page 29). Starting with a full tank will help
to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
• Check the transmission oil (see page 35).

Check the Tiller

Tiller outside
Make sure that there are no flammable materials (dust, straw, etc.)
near the engine.

Wiring and cables
• Check the insulation of each wire and cable for tears and cuts.
• Check if there is any wire or cable pinched by the neighboring parts.
Bolts and nuts tightens
