ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Refer to the engine manual included in your parts packet for 
information on engine maintenance. Your engine manual provides 
detailed information and a maintenance schedule for performing the 
following tasks:

1.  Check oil level before each use or after every 8 hours of 

operation.

2.  Change oil after first 5-8 hours of operation. Change oil while engine 

is warm. Refill with new oil of recommended grade.

4.  Check spark plug yearly or every 100 hours of operation.

5.  Service air cleaner.

6.   Keep engine and parts clean.

7.  Check engine and equipment often for loose nuts and bolts, keep 

these items tightened.

CHECK OR FILL ENGINE CRANKCASE

1.  Add oil according to engine manual. 

Do not overfill.

 Use a clean, 

high quality detergent oil. Container must be marked A.P.I. Service 
SF - SJ. Use no special additives with recommended oils. 

Do not 

mix oil with gasoline.

 Oil level must be full. Check the oil level 

by removing oil fill plug. Oil level should be up to the bottom of the 
fill plug opening.

2.  Always check oil level before starting engine. Refer to engine 

manual for capacity and type of oil to use.

CHECK TILLER TRANSMISSION  GREASE

Check the grease level annually. To check the grease level:

1.  Move tiller to level ground.

2.  Remove grease level dipstick located between the handlebar 

mounts on the engine mount. Correct grease level is indicated 
between the high and low levels on the dipstick.

3.  Replace grease level dipstick in the filler hole.

4.  Note that the front wheel transmission and rear tine transmission 

are one common reservoir. When you add to the front transmission, 
you must wait a short period of time for the grease to 

 rearward 

and equalize in both front and rear. The dipstick will read correctly 
on level ground for both gear units.

CHECK TIRE  PRESSURE

Recommended tire pressure is 20 PSI. If tires do not have equal 
pressure, tiller will pull to one side.

IMPORTANT

ENGINE IS SHIPPED FROM FACTORY WITHOUT OIL. 
YOU MUST ADD ENGINE OIL BEFORE STARTING
