CLEANING TILLER

1. To clean front and rear cover and
fender, use a soft cloth dampened with
a mild soap and water mixture. Do not
spray or pour water directly onto the
front or rear cover. Wipe the front and
rear covers and fender with the damp-
ened cloth.

or a dampened cloth. Do not spray or
pour water directly onto tiller.

from the tine shaft. See Tine Removal
and Installation.
4. Once cleaned, wipe the tine shaft dry
and apply a light coat of oil to the shaft
before reinstalling the tines.
CHECKING TRANSMISSION
LUBRICANT
1. Unplug tiller from power source.
2. Locate the grease fi ller screw located
above the tine shaft on the right side of
the transmission (see Figure 13).
3. Lay the tiller on its left side. Remove
the right side tine sets for easy access
to grease fi ller screw. See Tine Removal
and Installation.
4. Clean the transmission to prevent dirt and
debris from entering the transmission.
5. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, re-
move the grease fi ller screw from the
transmission case.
6. If grease is not visible in the hole,
add a high-quality, automotive-grade,

grease gun fi rmly against the rim of
the hole and add grease until it begins
to seep out around the edge of the
nozzle.
