CHECK TILLER TRANSMISSION
GREASE
Check the grease level annually. To check the grease
level:
1. Move tiller to level ground.
2. Remove grease level dipstick located on the front
transmission cover. Correct 00 grease level is
indicated between the high and low levels on the
dipstick.
3. Replace grease level dipstick in the filler hole.
4. Note that the front wheel transmission and rear tine
transmission are one common reservoir. When you
add to the front transmission, you must wait a short
period of time for the 00 grease to flow rearward and
equalize in both front and rear. The dipstick will read
correctly on level ground for both gear units.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Recommended tire pressure is 20 PSI. If tires do not
have equal pressure, tiller will pull to one side.
LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication of moving mechanical parts of your
rototiller is a very important part of care and
maintenance. You should oil the moving parts shown at
10 hour intervals using a 30 weight oil.
TILLER TRANSMISSION IS SHIPPED FROM

When replacing grease, the tiller transmission
holds 18-22 ounces. DO NOT OVERFILL.
