STEP 6: CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
The transmission was filled with gear oil at the factory.
However, you should check the gear oil level at this time
to make certain it is correct.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the tiller if the gear oil
level is low. Doing so will result in severe damage to the
transmission components.
1. With the tiller on level ground, pull the Depth Regula-
tor Lever (FF, Fig. 2-10) back and then all the way up
until the lowest notch in the lever is engaged.
2. Remove the oil fill plug (GG, Fig. 2-11) from the
transmission housing cover and locate the main
drive shaft situated inside the housing.
3. The gear oil level is correct if the gear oil is approxi-
mately halfway up the side of the main drive shaft.
4. If the oil level is low, add gear oil by referring to A. To
Check the Transmission Gear Oil Level in Section 5.
STEP 7: ADD MOTOR OIL
The tiller is shipped without oil in the engine.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the engine without first
adding motor oil. Severe engine damage will result if the
engine is run without oil.
1. Refer to the separate Engine Owner’s Manual for
engine oil specifications and capacities.
2. With the tiller on level ground, move the Depth
Regulator Lever (FF, Fig. 2-10) up or down until the
engine is level.
3. Add motor oil as described in the Engine Owner’s
Manual.
4. Move the Depth Regulator Lever all the way down
until the highest notch is engaged. This places the
tines in the “travel” position, which allows the tiller to
be moved without the tines touching the ground.
STEP 8: CHECK HARDWARE
Check all nuts and screws for tightness.
STEP 9: CHECK AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES (units
with pneumatic tires)
Check the air pressure with a tire gauge. Deflate or
inflate the tires equally to between 15 PSI and 20 PSI
(pounds per square inch). Be sure that both tires are
inflated equally or the unit will pull to one side.
