TO ADJUST CARBURETOR The carburetor has a high speed fixed jet and has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary. However, minor adjustments may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. If the carburetor does need adjustment, proceed as follows. FINAL SETFING • Start engine and allow to warm for five minutes. • With throttle control in "SLOW" position. IDLE RPM ADJUSTMENT • Rotate throttle linkage counterclockwise and hold against stop while adjusting idle speed adjusting screw to obtain 1750 RPM. Release, throttle linkage. High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do not adjust or damage may result. IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the engine govemor, which is factory set for proper engine speed, overspeeding the engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous: If you think the engine-govemed high speed needs adjust- Jng, contact your nearest authorized service center/department, which has the propar equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments. Stop Throttle Unkage ,, IdleSpeed AdjustingScrew Guide Idler Pulley (INSIDE) V-Belt ;15 Immediatelyprepare your tiller for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more. ,_CAUTION: Never store the tiller with gasoline in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before stodng in any enclosure. TILLER • Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section of this manual). • Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt replacement instructions in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual). • Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this manual. • Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely fastened. Inspect moving pads for damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary. • Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting. ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system pads such as the carburetor, fuel tilter, fuel hose, or tank dudng storage. also, expedence indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids dudng storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel syste m 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 minimizingthe formation of fuelgum depositsduringstorage. 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 allowthe stabilizerto reachthe carbure tor. Do not drain the gas tank and carburetorifusingfuel stabilizer. ENGINE OIL Drain oil(with enginewarm) and replace with clean oil. (See =ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of this manual). CYLINDER(S) • Remove spark plug. • Pour I ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. • Pull 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 c...
