TRANSMISSION LUBRICATION
The transmission is pre-lubricated at the factory.
At the beginning of each tilling season, or after
every 25 hours of use during the season, the
transmission should be filled with grease.
Replacement grease should be a high quality
petroleum based NLGI #2 general purpose grease
usually available in disposable tubes at most
hardware or automotive parts stores.
1. Place the tiller on the left side as shown.
2. Remove the lock pin from the right side tine
shaft by turning it UP [a] and pulling it out [b] as
shown. Wearing heavy gloves, remove both
right side tines.
3. Remove the dust cap.
The metal dust cap is held on with a set screw.
Loosen the set screw using a 3/32-inch allen
wrench. The dust cap should then slide off of
the tine shaft.
4. Remove the air vent screw and fill hole screw
from the transmission.
5. Fill the transmission by using a grease gun or
grease applicator at the fill hole screw opening.
Push the gun or applicator against the opening
so as to “seal” the nozzle of the gun or
applicator against the casting embossment.
Apply grease until grease begins to come out
of the top air vent hole.
6. Reinstall the air vent screw and fill hole screw.
7. Reinstall the felt seal, dust cap, and tighten the
set screw.
8. Clean the tine shaft and place a few drops of oil
on the tine shaft before installing the tines.
9. Wear heavy gloves and reinstall the tines in the
reverse order of removal.
Install the lock pin through the round side of the
tine shaft hole [a], then turn it over [b] to lock it
in place.
