ASSEMBLY
STEP4: CheckGearOil Levelin
TranS'm[ssion
The transmission was filled with gear
oil at the factory. However, be sure
to check the oil level at this time.
1. Move the tiller to a level area.
2. Pull the Depth Regulator Lever
(N, Figure 2-9) straight back and
then slide it to the second notch from
the top. If the lever does not move
freely, lift the tine hood flap and look
for a plastic tie securing the lever in
place. Cut and remove the tie.
3. Remove the oil level check plug
(O, Figure 2-10) on the left-side of
the transmission.
(Due to dried paint
on the plug threads, it may require
some force to remove the plug the
first time.) The gear oil level is cor-
rect if oil starts to flow out of the hole
as the plug is removed.
If so, se-
curely reinstall the plug.
4. If oil does not flow from the check
hole, add SAE 140, SAE 85W-140 or
SAE 80W-90 weight gear oil (prefer-
ably use API rated GL-4 gear oil,
however GL-5 can be used for small
top-offs) as follows:
NOTE: Do not use automatic trans-
mission fluid or engine oil in the
transmission.
(a) Clean area around oil fill hole (P,
,,.Figure, 2-11 ) and unscrew oil fill
plug.
(b) Using a clean funnel, slowly add
gear oil until it flows from the oil
level check hole (O, Figure 2-10).
Securely reinstall the oil level
check plug (O).
(c) Reinstall and tighten the oil fill
plug.

STEP5: Attach Throttle Lever
For shipping purposes, the engine
throttle cable assembly is wrapped
around the engine.
Carefully unwrap
the cable and attach it as follows:
1. Route the throttle cable up the
right-side handlebar. Insert its lever
(R, Figure 2-12) up through the slot
in the control panel labeled "ENGINE
THROTTLE."
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
engine throttle lever.
3. Hold the engine throttle lever
base against the bottom of the con-
trol panel and secure it with two #10
Iockwashers and #10-32 nuts.
4. Place the "T" shaped engine
throttle lever knob on the end of the
lever. Use a board to tap knob until it
seats firmly on lever (Figure 2-12).
5. Move the lever forward and back-
ward - it should move freely through
the full range of travel. (Note that
there is a detent at the SLOW setting
Figure2.12:Attach engine throttle lever.
which catches the lever. This detent
prevents the lever from unintention-
ally moving to the STOP setting
when you are just trying to slow the
engine down.) If the lever is difficult
to move away from the STOP set-
ting, loosen both screws and move
the lever assembly slightly to the left.
Retighten screws and recheck move-
ment. Adjust the lever as needed.
6. Secure the throttle cable to the
right-side handlebar with two plastic
ties (S, Figure 2-13) located about
two feet apart. The serrated side of
the tie must be on the inside of the
loop. Trim tie length with scissors.
STEP6: AttachWheel GearLever
For shipping purposes, the wheel
gear cable is wrapped around the
transmission.
Carefully unwrap the
cable and attach it as follows:
1. Route the wheel gear cable up
the left-side handlebar and insert the
lever (T, Figure 2-14) up through the
slot in the control panel that is la-
beled "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
Iockwashers 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
2-14).
5. Secure the cable to the left-side
handlebar with two plastic ties (U,
Figure 2-13) located about two feet
apart. Snip off any excess tie length
with scissors.
