LUBRICATION
After every 10 operating hours, oil or grease the lubrication points. Use
clean lubricating oil (#30 weight motor oil is suitable) and clean general
purpose grease (grease containing a metal lubricant is preferred, if
available). See Figure 24.

•
Remove the wheels, clean the wheel shaft and apply a thin
coating of grease.
•
Grease the back, front and sides of the depth stake.
•
Remove the tines and clean the tine shaft. Use a file or sandpa-
per to gently remove any rust, burrs or rough spots (especially
around the holes in the shaft). Apply grease to the ends of the
shaft before installing the tines.
•
Oil the threads on the handlebar adjustment lock and the
handlebar attaching screws.
•
Oil the pivot point on the clutch handle and the clutch cable.
TIRE PRESSURE
WARNINg
Before performing any type of maintenance on the machine, wait for
all parts to stop moving and disconnect the spark plug wire. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or property
damage.
Check the air pressure in both tires. The air pressure should be
between 15-20 PSI. Keep both tires equally inflated to help prevent
machine from pulling to one side.
HARDWARE
Check for loose or missing hardware after every 10 operating hours
and tighten or replace — as needed — before reusing the tiller. Be
sure to check the screws underneath the tiller hood that secure the
transmission cover and the depth stake to the transmission.

BELT REPLACEMENT
Your tiller has been engineered with a belt designed for long life and
optimal performance. Use only a factory authorized belt as listed in
the Parts List section, an "over- the-counter" belt may not perform
satisfactorily. The procedure requires average mechanical ability and
commonly available tools.
To replace the Drive belt, follow these steps:
1.
Remove the belt cover from the left side of the tiller by removing the
five hex washer screws from the top of the belt cover. See Figure 25.
