- NOTE: References to right or left side of the tiller are determined from behind the unit in the operating position.
- NOTE: All hardware needed for assembly is attached to the loose parts or the tiller.
- NOTE: Do not overtighten clutch cable, since too much tension may cause it to break.
- NOTE: Keep hands out of belt area while unit is operating.
