How can I troubleshoot the tiller if it won't start?

If the tiller won't start, check for fuel in the tank, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, examine the fuel line for blockages, and verify that the air filter is clean. If these steps don't work, inspect the ignition system and carburetor for issues.

To store the tiller, clean it thoroughly, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, and store it in a dry, sheltered location. It's also advisable to remove the spark plug and add a small amount of oil into the cylinder to prevent rust.

What should I do if the tines are not rotating?

If the tines are not rotating, first check the tine engagement lever to ensure it is in the correct position. Inspect the drive belt for wear or breakage, and check that the tine shaft is not obstructed by debris. Replace any damaged parts as necessary.
