Picture 1 Picture 2 A Tip for Extending Your Engine’s Life After you start the engine, let your tiller warm up for two to three minutes before you use it.

But, just in case you do have problems, here’s what to do. Make sure the “o/I” switch is on “I”. You’d be surprised how many people forget to push the switch into the “start” position. If the switch was on “o” when you pulled the cord, you may have flooded the engine. ! WARNING ! MAKE SURE THE START/STOP SWITCH IS IN THE STOP POSITION. KEEP PLUG WIRE AWAY FROM ENGINE TO AVOID UNINTENTIONAL SPARK. •First, examine the spark plug. Use the special wrench that comes with our optional MANTIS Handy Item Kit (Item #8444) or a 3/4 inch spark plug wrench. (Picture 1) •Remove the cap over the spark plug. •Unscrew the spark plug. (Picture 2) IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid possible damage to the threads, do not try to remove the plug from a hot aluminum cylinder head. Starting a Flooded Engine 1. If the end of the spark plug is wet, the engine may be flooded. Make sure the switch is in the “o” position, disconnect spark plug wire and remove plug. Use a paper towel or a clean rag to dry the spark plug, then, with the spark plug out of the engine, pull the starter cord several times. Next, replace the spark plug. Use the wrench to tighten it and replace the cap. Next, put the switch in the “I” position and pull the choke button out. Pull the starter cord three or four times until the engine coughs or sputters. Open the choke (push the choke button in) and pull the cord a few times. The engine should start and run. 2. If the end of the spark plug is dry, check to see if the fuel line is blocked. First loosen the fuel cap to relieve pressure in the tank. The fuel line runs from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Pull it off at the carburetor end. Fuel should drip slowly from the line. Wipe off any excess or spilled fuel. If fuel does not drip from the line, check the line for any bends or pinches. (Picture 3). Kinks in the line restrict the flow of fuel to the engine. Just straighten out the line. Reconnect. Then follow the normal starting procedure. If fuel drips too freely, the line may be disconnected from the fuel filter. You’ll find the fuel filter inside the fuel tank. Just reattach the line to the filter, and put the filter back in the tank. Then follow the normal starting procedure.
