Tiller Lubrication

After every 10 operating hours, oil or grease the lubrication points
as described below.
Use clean lubricating oil (#30 weight engine oil is suitable) and
clean general purpose grease (grease containing a metal lubricant
is preferred, if available).
– Remove the wheels, clean the wheel shaft and apply a thin
coating of grease to the wheel shaft.
– Grease the back, front and sides of the depth regulator lever.
– Remove the tines and clean the tine shaft. Use a file or
sandpaper to gently remove any rust, burrs or rough spots
(especially around holes in shaft). Apply grease to ends of
shaft before installing tines.
– Oil the threads on the handlebar height adjustment screws and
the handlebar attaching screws.
NOTICE

Check for Oil Leaks

Before each use, check the tiller for signs of an oil leak — usually
a dirty, oily accumulation either on the unit or on the floor.
A little seepage around a cover or an oil seal is usually not a cause
for alarm. However, if the oil drips overnight, then immediate
attention is needed. Ignoring an oil leak can result in severe
transmission damage!
If a cover is leaking, check for loose screws. If the screws are
tight, a new gasket or oil seal may be required.
If the leak is from around a shaft and oil seal, the oil seal probably
needs to be replaced. See your authorized dealer or contact the
factory for service or advice.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the tiller if the transmission is low
on oil. Check the oil level after every 30 hours of operation and
whenever there is any oil leakage.

Check Hardware

Check for loose or missing hardware after every 10 operating
hours and tighten or replace (as needed) before reusing tiller.
Be sure to check the screws underneath the tiller hood that secure
the transmission cover and the Depth Regulator Lever to the
transmission.

Check Tire Pressure

(Models with pneumatic tires) Check the air pressure in both tires.
The air pressure should be between 15 PSI and 20 PSI (pounds
per square inch).
Keep both tires equally inflated to help prevent machine from
pulling to one side.

Transmission Gear Oil Service

Check the transmission gear oil level after every 30 hours of
operation or whenever you notice any oil leak. Operating the tiller
when the transmission is low on oil can result in severe damage.
A. To Check the Transmission Gear Oil Level:
1. Check the gear oil level when the transmission is cool. Gear
oil will expand in warm operating temperatures and this
expansion will provide an incorrect oil level reading.
2. With the tiller on level ground, pull the Depth Regulator Lever
all the way up.
3. Remove the dipstick/oil fill plug from the transmission
housing and look inside the oil fill hole to locate the main
drive shaft situated below the hole.
