ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Please read the maintenance schedule and observe these

recommendations to extend the life of your engine.

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-

free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution. To help

you properly care for your engine, the following pages include

a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and

simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other

service tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are

best handled by professionals and are normally performed by a

technician or other qualified mechanic.

Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions control

devices and systems may be performed by any non-road

engine repair establishment or individuals. However, items

must be serviced by an authorized dealer to obtain “no charge”

emissions control warranty service.

The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions.

If you operate your engine under unusual conditions, such as

sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in

unusually wet or dusty conditions, consult your servicing dealer

for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

STEPS FOR WORKING ON EQUIPMENT

1. Flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

2. Replace or repair the part on the MC440.

3. Check all parts that were repaired, or removed during repair,

that they are secure and fit correctly.

NOTE: All repair parts must come from the factory. Never

replace parts that are not specifically designed for the

cultivator.

MC440 MAINTENANCE

1. The transmission case has grease installed at the factory. It

is recommended that once a year the gear case be split by a

qualified service professional and the grease level checked.

Add a molylithium type grease only if level of grease is below

top of the gears. DO NOT OVERFILL.

2. Keep all screws, nuts, and bolts tight.

3. For cold weather operation, store the unit in a cool environment.

Transferring the unit from a cold to a warm place can cause the

build up of harmful condensation.

NOTE: To reduce cultivating width from 10” to 6”, remove

both outer tines and reinsert hairpins through the two inner

holes on the tine shaft to secure both inner tines in place.
