BEFORE OPERATlON
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 27).
• Check the air filter (see page 33). A dirty air filter will restrict air flow
to the carburetor, reducing engine and tiller performance.
• Check the fuel level (see page 25). Starting with a full tank will help
to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
Check the Tiller
Check the transmission oil (see page 30).
