SERVICE INFORMATION (continued)
6. The grease zerk on both ends of the tine shaft flange bearing should be greased after every 4
to 8 hours of use.
7. Grease zerks on the wheel hubs should be greased once a week or so, depending upon
freewheel use.
IMPORTANT: The engine is normally serviced prior to shipping. However, shipping
regulations may prohibit this. Check levels and add oil and fuel as required before starting.
Service according to the engine manual before starting.
IMPORTANT:
If the couplers between the engine and the pump are
moved or removed for any reason, it is CRITICAL that they have a 1/16”
gap between them when reinstalled. Failure to have this gap will result in
rapid wear and failure of your pump!
NOTE:
It is very important to move the fuel shutoff lever to the closed position after
stopping the engine. Failure to do so could cause fuel to leak down into the cylinder and
crankcase. Damage resulting from this will void your engine warranty and not be covered.
WARNING: Running the tiller without hydraulic oil will cause serious damage to the hydraulic
pump. CHECK RESERVOIR LEVEL BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE.
