AROUND THE YARD • Tip depth stake forward until it is held by the stake spring. • Push tiller handles down, raising tines off the ground. • Push or pull tiller to desired location. AROUND TOWN • Disconnect spark plug wire. • Drain fuel tank. • Transport in upright position to prevent oil leakage. BEFORE STARTING ENGINE IMPORTANT: BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW DIRT TO ENTER THE ENGINE WHEN CHECKING OR ADDING OIL OR FUEL. USE CLEAN OIL AND FUEL AND STORE IN APPROVED, CLEAN, COVERED CON TAIN ERS. USE CLEAN FILL FUNNELS. FILL ENGINE WITH OIL (See Fig. 7) 1. Remove hangtag from engine. 2. With engine level, remove engine oil fill er plug. 3. Fill engine with oil to point of over flow ing. For ap proximate ca pac i ty see “PROD UCT SPEC I FI CATIONS” on page 3 of this manual. All oil must meet A.P.I. Service Classification SG-SL. 4. Tilt tiller back on its wheels and then re-level. 5. With engine level, refill to point of over flow ing if neces sary. Re place oil filler plug. • For cold weather operation you should change oil for easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the Main te nance section of this man u al). • To change engine oil, see the Main te nance section of this manual. Fig. 7 MAXIMUM UPPER LEVEL MINIMUM UPPER LEVEL OIL FILLER PLUG OIL LEVEL ADD GASOLINE • Fill fuel tank to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular un lead ed gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will increase carbon and lead oxide deposits and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quan ti ties that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness. CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow for fuel expansion. If gasoline is acci den tal ly spilled, move machine away from area of spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have disappeared. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame. IMPORTANT: WHEN OPERATING IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 32°F(0°C), USE FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GAS O LINE TO HELP ENSURE GOOD COLD WEATHER START ING. CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas o hol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to sep a ra tion and for ma tion of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before stor age of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next sea son. See Storage In struc tions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 8) CAUTION: KEEP TINE CONTROL IN “OFF” PO SI TION WHEN STARTING ENGINE. 1. Open the fuel valve. 2. Turn the ENGINE SWITCH to the position “ I ” (ON). 3. Set the speed control lever 1/3 of the way towards the high speed position. 4. Close the choke lever.
