WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation 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
storage 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 season. See Storage section
of this manual for additional information. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

however, extremely wet soil will “ball-up” or dump
during tilling. Wait until the soil is less wet in order to
achieve the best results. When tilling in the fall, remove
vines and long grass to prevent them from wrapping
around the tine shaft and slowing your tilling operation.

You will find tilling much easier if you leave a row
untilled between passes. Then go back between tilled
rows. (See Fig. 14) There are two reasons for doing
this. First, wide turns are much easier to negotiate than
about-faces. Second, the tiller won’t be pulling itself,
and you, toward the row next to it.

Do not lean on handle. This takes weight off the wheels
and reduces traction. To get through a really tough

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W-30,10W-30,etc.)

improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils

will result in increased oil consumption when used above

32°F (0°C). Check your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least

once a year if the tiller is not used for 25 hours in one year.

Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine

and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Add SAE
30 motor oil or equivalent. Tighten oil filler plug securely

each time you check the oil level.

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 18 and 19)

Determine temperature range expected before oil change.

All oil must meet API service classification SF, SG or SH.

Be sure tiller is on level surface.
Oil will drain more freely when warm.
Use a funnel to prevent oil spill on tiller, and catch oil in

a suitable container.
Remove drain plug.
Tip tiller forward to drain oil.
After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug

and tighten securely.

CYLINDER

• Remove spark plug.

• Pour 1 ounce (29 mi) of oil through spark plug hole into
cylinder.

• Puli starter handle slowly several times to distribute oil.

• Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt.

• Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that

does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and
will cause your unit to rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER TILLER WHILE ENGINE
AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL
SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL
FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE.

ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL

BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING

ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE
WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF
ACIDS DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE
THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

® Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor
age. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do

not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
