TIlleR lUbRICATION
–
After every 10 operating hours, oil or grease the lubrication points as described below.
–
Use clean lubricating oil (#30 weight engine oil is suitable) and clean general purpose
grease (grease containing a metal lubricant is preferred, if available).
–
Remove the wheels, clean the wheel shaft and apply a thin coating of grease to the
wheel shaft.
–
Grease the back, front and sides of the depth regulator lever.
–
Remove the tines and clean the tine shaft. Use a file or sandpaper to gently remove any
rust, burrs or rough spots (especially around holes in shaft). Apply grease to ends of
shaft before installing tines.
–
Oil the threads on the handlebar height adjustment screws and the handlebar attaching
screws.

–
Before each use, check the tiller for signs of an oil leak — usually a dirty, oily
accumulation either on the unit or on the floor.
–
A little seepage around a cover or an oil seal is usually not a cause for alarm. However,
if the oil drips overnight, then immediate attention is needed. Ignoring an oil leak can
result in severe transmission damage!
–
If a cover is leaking, check for loose screws. If the screws are tight, a new gasket or oil
seal may be required.
–
If the leak is from around a shaft and oil seal, the oil seal probably needs to be
replaced. See your authorized dealer or contact the factory for service or advice.
–
IMPORTANT: Never operate the tiller if the transmission is low on oil. Check the oil
level after every 30 hours of operation and whenever there is any oil leakage.
