the machine and reduce its life. If equipment has been altered in any way from
original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability for injury or warranty.
The accompanying illustrations show lubrication points. The chart gives the frequency of
lubrication in hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual
conditions may require more frequent lubrication.
Use a good quality SAE multipurpose type grease for all locations shown. Be sure to
clean fittings thoroughly before using grease gun.
Use 90 wt. or 140 wt. gear oil in gearbox.
1. Hourly: Remove any wrapping (stalks, weeds, trash, etc.) from tiller, especially from
around bearing supports on the rotor ends.
2. Every four hours: Ensure bolts holding the side shift are tight.
3. Daily: Ensure blades are not broken and bolts are tight. Grease the rotor support,
the driveline cross and bearings and telescopic tubes. Check the gearbox for oil
level.
4. Weekly: Check the blades for excessive wear or damage. Ensure the rotor turns
freely. Inspect the chain in the chain case and make sure it is well lubricated.
5. After the first 200 hours: Remove the chain case cover (being sure not to damage
the gasket), clean the chain sprockets with kerosene, replace the sprockets and
reassemble using fresh GP grease (approximately 2.2 lbs).
WARNING: To avoid possible injury, wear proper eye and hand protection when
servicing tiller blades.
It is important to change blades after they have worn down 1" to 1¼" from their
original length. When replacing blades, it is best to replace them one at a time to
