Do not move or remove the Belt Guide (Figure 10). If you accidentally alter the position of the Belt Guide, return it to the correct
setting of 6-1/2" above the Tine Shield Support Plate (Figure 10).

Transmission Lubrication

Check the Transmission Oil Level after the first 5 hours of operation. Remove the Oil Fill Plug (Figure 9 on page 17). The Oil level
must be even with the Plug Hole (with the Tiller level). Add Oil if necessary. Use SAE 30 non-detergent motor Oil. Replace Oil Fill
Plug.

NOTE: It is not necessary to change the Oil in the Tiller Transmission. If for any reason it must be changed, Oil capacity is 22 oz.
