Check tiller transmission grease:
Check the grease level annually. To check the grease level:
1. Cut out one of the cardboard stencils on page 27 of this
manual. Take that dipstick cut-out and glue/tape it to a
piece of cardboard cut out to match the stencil.
2. Tiller must first be run for approximately 30 minutes to
warm up grease for a proper measurement. Once warm
let sit 5 minutes to allow grease to settle.
3. Move tiller to level ground, making sure the transmission
cover plate is level.
4. Remove the gear case dipstick located between the
handle bar mounts and the engine mount.
SEE FIGURE 14
5. Insert the dipstick cut-out created in step 1 into the
hole in the transmission cover plate so the top square is
resting on the cover plate.
SEE FIGURE 15
6. Remove the dipstick cut-out and check grease level.
If level is in the bottom ADD area or not present, add
grease in 200ml increments until grease level reaches a
proper level reading (between 1” - 1 3/4” down from top
of fill hole).
DO NOT OVERFILL.
The slashed, acceptable
grease level area on the dipstick cut-out has a 200ml
range.
NOTE: The front wheel transmission and rear tine
transmission share a common reservoir.
Recommended grease is Mystic 00, or equivalent,
transmission grease. Oil must have an API -
E.P (extreme pressure) rating of GL4 or lower.
Higher E.P. rating (ie - GL5, GL6 etc) will cause
the bronze components to soften. For partial
fill-ups ( a few ozs or less) use SAE 140W or 85W
gear oil or SAE 80W-90 weight gear oil with a API
rating of GL4 or GL5. When replacing grease, the
tiller transmission holds 18-22 ounces. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
