Reverse belt tension adjustments are done with the 3.
reverse clutch cable adjuster located on the left side of the
machine near the engine. See Fig. 6-9. Use two ⁄” open-
end wrenches to loosen the two adjuster jam nuts a few
turns.
Move the cable adjuster away from the pulleys to increase 4.
the belt tension.
Tighten both jam nuts securely.5.
Reinstall the belt cover.6.
Move the tiller to an open area and test the reverse 7.
operation. Repeat this procedure if the machine does not
respond when the reverse clutch is engaged.
Off-Season Storage
When the tiller won’t be used for extended periods, prepare it for
storage as follows:
Clean the tiller and engine.1.
Do routine tiller lubrication and check for loose parts and 2.
hardware.
Protect the engine and perform the recommended engine 3.
maintenance by following the engine storage instructions
found in the separate Engine Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: Be sure to protect the fuel lines, carburetor and fuel
tank from gum deposits by removing fuel or by treating
fuel with a fuel stabilizer. Follow the engine manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Fully Charge the battery. The battery loses some of its 4.
charge each day.
NOTE: Never store the battery without a full charge.
Recharge the battery before returning to service. When
storing the tiller for extended periods, disconnect the
battery cables. Removing the battery from the machine is
recommended.
Store the tiller in a clean, dry area.5.
Never store the tiller with fuel in the fuel tank in an 6.
enclosed area where gas fumes could reach an open flame
or spark, or where ignition sources are present (space
heaters, hot water heaters, furnaces, etc.).
