STEP6: CheckLevelof
Transmission Gear Oil
The transmission was filled with gear oil
at the factory, However, you should check
the gear oil level 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 transmis-
sion components.
1. With the tiller on levelground, puII the
Depth Regulator Lever (FF,Fig. 2-10)
back and then a!l the way up until the
lowest notch in the lever is engaged.
2. Removethe 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 approximately halfway up the side of
the main drive shaft.
4. If the gear oil level is low, add gear oil
by referring to "A. To Checkthe Transmis-
sion Gear Oil Level" in Section 5,
STEP7: AddMotor Oil to Engine
The tiller is shipped withoutoil in the
engine.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the engine
without first adding motoroiL 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.
Fig. 2-10: Adjust DepthRegulator Lever.
Fig. 2-11: Remove gear oil fill plug.
4. Move the Depth Regulator Lever all
the way down until the highest notch is
engaged. This places the tines in the
"travel" position.
STEP 8: Check Hardware for
Tightness
Check all nuts andscrewsfor tightness,
STEP9: CheckAir Pressurein
Tires(unitswith pneumatictires)
If the tires are equipped with air valves,
check the air pressure with a tire gauge.
Deflate or inflate the tires equally to 15-
to-20 PSI (pounds per square inch). Be
sure that both tires are inflated equally or
the unit will pull to one side.
IMPORTANT: This completes the
assembly steps. Before operating your
tiller, make sure you read the following
Sections in this Manual, as well as the
separate Engine Owner's Manual:
* Section 1: "Safety"
• Section 3: "Features and Controls"
