SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Checking Engine Oil
1. Check oil before each use. Stop engine and wait several minutes before checking
oil level. With engine on level ground, the oil must be to FULL mark on dipstick.
2. Service engine as instructed in the separate Engine operator’s manual.
WARNING!
Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before
performing any repairs.
Maintenance
Engine
Refer to the separate Engine Operator’s Manual for engine maintenance
instructions.
Tines
Clean the underside of the tine shield after each use. The dirt washes off the tines
easier if rinsed off immediately instead of after it dries. Always towel dry the tiller
afterwards and apply a light coat of oil or silicone to prevent rusting or water
damage.
NOTE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your tiller. Water can penetrate tight
areas of the tiller and its chain case and cause serious damage to machine.
Lubrication
Pivot Points
Remove the belt cover and lubricate all the pivot points and linkages at least once a
season with light oil. Keep the belts free of lubrication.
Tine Shafts
Remove the tine assemblies and lubricate the tine shafts at least once a season.
Wheel Shafts
Remove the wheel assemblies and lubricate the axle shafts at least once a season.
Chain Drive
The chain drive is pre-lubricated and sealed at factory.
Adjustments
Cable Adjustment
Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section of this manual for instructions on adjusting
the clutch cable.
Tines
Tilling Width
With the outer tines installed, the working width of the machine is 24”. This
width may be reduced to 22” by removing the clevis and cotter pins, sliding each
outer tine inward toward the center of the tiller and re-securing the pins in the
holes provided. The width can also be reduced to 13” by removing the outer tines
completely. See Figure 20.
