LUBRICATION
1. ENGINE OIL
The long life and successful operation of any piece
of machinery is dependent on frequent and thorough
lubrication.
Before using the trowel, always check your engine
for oil. Use proper engine oil as recommended in the
engine manufacturer’s manual. Fill crankcase to
levels as recommended.
2. SPIDER PLATE
There are 8 (eight) grease fittings on the spider
plates, 4 (four) on each must be greased daily.
SPIDER PLATES MUST BE GREASED EVERY
TIME MACHINE IS USED.
3. GEARBOX
Check the oil level sight plugs on both gearboxes
daily to ensure the oil is half way on the site glass.

only. Gearbox capacity on the TS74 is 27oz./767ml.
4. TO CHANGE GEARBOX OIL
Place a pan beneath the drain plug to catch the oil.
Remove the drain plug and the filler plug from the
gearbox. After the oil has drained completely, replace
the drain plug and tighten. Fill the gearbox through
the filler plug with 27oz./767ml. of Chevron HiPerSYN
ISO 320 gear oil or equivalent.
Replace the filler plug
and tighten.
