2-CYCLE TILLER TRANSPORTATION
Transporting your Tiller is easy. It’s light enough and easy
to carry using the carrying handle as seen in Figure 1.
Or, with it running, you can walk it by gently squeezing
the throttle until it moves at a comfortable pace.
Your tiller is easily transported in the back of a car or
truck. Be sure to empty the fuel tank (This is crucial)!
Then stow your tiller in the trunk of your car or truck.

2-Cycle Tiller Maintenance
HOW TO CHECK, CLEAN AND CHANGE THE AIR FILTER
1. Loosen the wing nut on the side of the air-cleaner cover. (Picture 1)
2. Take off the cover. Make sure to clear the choke button.
3. The air filter is the pad on the inside of the air-cleaner cover. Check whether it is
soiled or moist.
4. If the air filter needs cleaning or no longer fits properly, remove it. Just lift an edge
carefully and “peel” it out. (Picture 2)
5. Use a brush to remove debris from the pad.
6. If the air filter is so dirty that it won’t come clean, you must replace it or severe
engine damage will occur. Order a new one directly from our Customer Service Dept.
Call 1-800-366-6268.
7. Insert your clean filter inside the air-cleaner cover. Picture 1
IMPORTANT! Make sure filter is “seated” properly in the cover. The filter must fit
snugly inside the rim that holds the filter in place.
Installing the filter incorrectly will cause engine damage and void the warranty. Fit the
cover back over the air cleaner. (Again, make sure to clear the choke button.)
8. Tighten the wing nut to secure the cover.

Note:
Please check the lip on the Air Cleaner Cover. If the lip is chipped or cracked,
it should be replaced. This will prevent dirt from being ingested through the
carburetor into the inside of the engine. Air Filter
Picture 2

FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT

The fuel filter should be replaced every year. Open the fuel cap and using the cap
retainer you can remove the fuel intake line. The filter is at the end.
Hold the fuel line and work the filter out. Then just push the new one back into the tube
making sure the clamping wire is up high enough to engage with the stem of the filter.

With the tines off, remove the transmission plate

to add lithium zero or lithium one grease.
Wipe off any excess grease, replace the transmission
