CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Transmission:
The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at
the factory. It requires no additional lubrication
unless the transmission is disassembled. To fill
with grease, lay the left half of the chain case on
its side, add 14 ounces of Plastilube#1 grease and
assemble the right half to it. This grease can be
from your nearest Sears Service Center. (Order
Part No. 737-0133.)
Engine:
1. You MUST CHANGE THE OIL in the crankcase
after the first two hours of operation of your
new engine and after each 25 hours of use
thereafter to ensure proper lubrication of
internal parts for trouble free operation and to
prevent costly repair due to excessive wear.
(Take care to remove dirt around filler plug.)
Be sure oil level is maintained full to point of
overflowing. See figure 26.
FIGURE 26.
To change oil remove drain plug (figure 27) and tip
the tiller forward while engine is warm. Replace
drain plug. Remove oil filler cap and refill with
new oil of proper grade. Replace filler cap.

2. Always use the PROPER FUEL in your engine.
Use only a good grade of fresh, clean, regular
gasoline. Do not use gasoline that has been
sitting for a long period of time. Stale
gasoline may cause engine to run poorly or
not at all.
