Add Engine Oil

A bottle of oil is
included in the box

CARRYING
Most of the oil is HANDLEBAR

shipment; however, some oil remains in the engine. The amount of oil
left in the engine varies.
If not using the supplied oil, add enough recommended oil
to bring the oil level to the bottom edge of the oil filler hole.
Do not overfill the engine with oil, as the oil tank capacity is small.

BEFORE EACH OPERATION
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will
significantly reduce your risk of injury.
Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and
how to operate them.
Familiarize yourself with the tiller and its operation before you begin
using it. Know how to quickly shut off the engine in case of an
emergency.

Check Your Tiller

For your safety, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations,
and to maximize the service life of your mini-tiller, it is very important
to take a few moments before you operate the tiller to check its
condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have your
servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the tiller.
Improperly maintaining this mini-tiller, or failing to correct a
problem before operation, could cause a malfunction in which
you could be seriously injured.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each
operation, and correct any problem.
• Make sure the tiller is on a level surface.
• Look around and underneath the tiller for signs of oil or gasoline
leaks.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check each control for proper operation.
• Check the tines for wear. Replace as necessary
• Check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.
• Check the air filter
(page 10)
• Check the fuel level
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

Check Your Tilling Area

For your safety and the safety of others, always inspect the area
before operating the mini-tiller.
Anything that can be picked up by the tines and thrown is a potential
hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks, nails, and
wire, and remove them from the tilling area.
People and animals near the tilling area can move into your tillers
path or into a position where they could be struck by thrown objects.
Clear the area of pets and people, especially children. Their safety is
your responsibility.
Check the condition of the ground. Adjust your tillers drag bar
accordingly.
