OPERATION TO TRANSPORT CAUTION: Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of fuel tankto prevent spills and to allow for fuel expansion.

OPERATION NOTE: points. • If engine does not start, see troubleshooting SPARK PLUG • CHOKE CONTROL CONTROL • RECOIL STARTER Soil conditions are importantfor proper tilling. Tines will not readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may contribute to excessive bounce and difficult handling of your tiller. Hard soil should be moistened before tilling; however, extremely wet soil will "ball-up" or clump during tilling. Wait until the soil is less wet in order to achieve the best results.
