Document Outline
- NOTE: References to right or left side of the tiller are determined from behind the unit in the operating position.
- NOTE: Do not overtighten control cable. Too much tension may cause it to break when engaged.
- NOTE: Never engage both the forward and reverse tine drives at the same time. Engaging both forward and reverse tine drives at the same time could damage the belt drives and cause the engine to stall.
- NOTE: Be careful not to burn your hand on the muffler when engaging and disengaging the choke. The muffler is located above the choke and will be very hot after the motor has been running just a short period of time.
- NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment and especially any springs, bearings, and cables.
