to change the damaged tine; it is not necessary to
replace the complete tine set.
• Loosen the screws on one side while holding the lock
nuts from the other side.
• Take off the damaged tine and replace it by a new
one.
Maintenance of the transmission (Fig. 11)
• The transmission lubricant (grease) should be checked
and/or filled up about every 15 hours of operation or at
least once a year.
• The inlet screw plug (1) for the transmission lubricant
is located on the right side of the transmission
housing.
• Note: As the transmission heats up during operation,
the grease used to lubricate the transmission assembly
may liquefy to oil.
• Put the tiller down on its left side and clean the
transmission housing before removing the drain
screw to prevent dirt and debris from getting into the
transmission.
• Use an Allan key (hexagon socket screw key) to
loosen the screw.
• Fill in as much grease (directly from the tube or using
a grease gun) until it comes out of the outlet bore.
• Use commercially available transmission lubricant
(gear grease) of the type Mobil EPO or similar.
• If necessary, disassemble tines.
• Screw the inlet screw plug back in.

• Fold the guide bar down, and store the tool in a suitable
place.
