6. Check Level of
Transmission Gear Oil
The transmission was filled with
gear oil prior to being shipped.
However, you should check the
gear oil level to make certain it is
correct.
1. With the tiller on level ground,
pull the Depth Regulator Lever
(AA, Fig. 2-8) back and then all
the way up until the lowest notch
in the lever is engaged.
2. Remove the plastic fill plug
(BB, Fig. 2-9) from the transmis¬
sion housing and look into the
filler hole.
3. Inside the hole there is a
grooved worm (CC, Fig. 2-10) on
the drive shaft. If the gear oil level
is correct, the gear oil should be
approximately half way up the
sides of the worm.
4. If the gear oil level is low, add
gear oil by referring to "Checking
and Topping off Transmission
Gear Oil" on Page 24. DO NOT
OPERATE TILLER IF GEAR
OIL LEVEL IS LOW. SEVERE
DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION
WILL RESULT.

7. Add Motor Oil to Engine
The tiller is shipped without oil in
the engine. PERMANENT EN¬
GINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT
IF THE ENGINE IS RUN WITH¬
OUT OIL.
1. Refer to the Engine Owner's
Manual (supplied with tiller) for
engine oil specifications and
capacities.
2. With the tiller on level ground,
pull the Depth Regulator Lever
(AA, Fig. 2-8) back and then all
the way up until the lowest notch
in the lever is engaged.
3. Unscrew the engine oil fill plug
(DD, Fig. 2-11). Using a clean
funnel, slowly add oil until the oil
level reaches the overflow point in
the oil fill tube. ALWAYS
MAINTAIN THE OIL LEVEL AT
THE OVERFLOW POINT.
4. Securely replace the oil fill plug.
8. Check Hardware for
Tightness
Check all nuts and screws for
tightness.
IMPORTANT: 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: "Tiller and Engine
Controls"
• Section 4: "Operation"
