Attach Wheel Gear Lever; Check Air Pressure In Tires; Check Hardware For Tightness - Troy-Bilt ECONO-HORSE 12185 Owner's Manual

Section 2: Assembly
STEP 8: Attach Wheel Gear Lever
For shipping purposes, the wheel gear
cable is wrapped around the transmis¬
sion. Carefully unwrap the cable and
attach it as follows:
1. Route the wheel gear cable up the left¬
side handlebar and insert the lever (S,
Figure 2-15) up through the slot in the
control panel that is labeled "WHEEL
GEAR."
2. Insert two #10-32 x 1/2" round head
screws down through the "+" marks on
the control panel decal and through the
holes in the base of the wheel gear lever.
3. Hold the wheel gear lever base against
the bottom of the control panel and
secure it with two #10 lockwashers and
#10-32 nuts.
4. Place the wheel gear lever knob on the
end of the lever and use a board to tap
the knob down until it seats firmly on the
lever (see Figure 2-15).
5. Secure the cable to the left-side han¬
dlebar with two plastic ties (T, Figure
2-14) located about two feet apart. Snip
off any excess tie length with scissors.

STEP 9: Check Air Pressure in
Tires
Use an automotive-type tire pressure
gauge to check the air pressure in both
tires. Deflate or inflate both tires evenly
from 15-to-20 PSI (pounds per square
inch). Be sure that both tires have the
same air pressure or the unit will pull to
one side.
STEP 10: Check Hardware for
Tightness
Inspect the hardware on the unit and
tighten any loose screws, bolts and nuts.
IMPORTANT:
This completes the
assembly steps. Be sure to read the
rest of this Manual before you attempt
to operate your tiller.
