4. The gear oil level is correct if it falls between the L and H
marks on th oil dipstick.
5. If the gear oil level is low, add GL-4 gear oil (SAE 85W-140 or
SAE 140).
6. If the gear oil level is okay, securely replace the oil fill plug.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the tiller if the gear oil level is
low. Doing so will result in severe damage to the transmission
components.
B. To Drain the Transmission Gear Oil:
The transmission gear oil does not need to be changed unless it
has been contaminated with dirt, sand or metal particles.
1. Drain gasoline from the fuel tank or run the engine until the
fuel tank is empty. See "DANGER" statement below.
2. Drain the oil from the engine.
3. Remove the left-side wheel.
4. Tilt the left-side wheel shaft into a drain pan and allow the
gear oil to drain through the top of the transmission.
5. Reinstall the wheel.
6. Refill the transmission using GL-4 gear oil (SAE 85W-140 or
SAE 140).

Tines

The tines will wear with use and should be inspected at the
beginning of each tilling season and after every 30 operating
hours. The tines can be replaced either individually or as a
complete set. Refer to the parts list for tine identification and part
DIPSTICK
numbers.
A. Tine Inspection:
With use, the tines will become shorter, narrower and pointed.
Badly worn tines will result in a loss of tilling depth, and reduced
effectiveness when chopping up and turning under organic matter.

7. Refill the engine with engine oil and replenish the fuel tank
with gasoline.
1. With the engine shut off and the spark plug wire
disconnected, remove the M10×25 bolt, lock washer, flat
washer and M10 nut that attach a single tine to a tine holder.
If needed, use penetrating oil on the nuts.
2. When installing a single tine, be sure to position it so that its
cutting edge (sharp) will enter the soil first as the tiller moves
forward. Hand tighten completely.
1. A tine assembly consists of eight tines mounted on a tine
holder.
2. If removing both tine assemblies, mark them "left" and
"right" before removal. Remove (2) pins and (2) cotter pins
that secure the tine assembly to the tine shaft. If necessary,
use a rubber mallet to tap the tine assembly outward off the
shaft.
3. Before reinstalling the tine assembly, inspect the tine shaft
for rust, rough spots or burrs. Lightly file or sand, as needed.
Apply a thin coat of grease to the shaft.
4. Install each tine assembly so that the cutting (sharp) edge of
the tines will enter the soil first when the tiller moves forward.
5. Bend cotter pins once inserted to prevent the pins from
coming out.
