That is my problem, there is not a dealer close to me here in East Texas. When trying to deal with one over the phone, so far, the dealers are not real helpful and do not act interested in helping me out. Surely there must be a place online, where I could either download a manual or purchase one online. I do love my little Kioti CK20 and it is most dependable with never a problem yet after 6 1/2 years!
