ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION OF TRANSMISSION (See Fig. 12 )
(Transmission is pre-lubricated at the factory.)
Lubricate transmission after every 100 hours of use,
if you see no grease at air vent hole. Replacement
grease should be a high quality petroleum based grease
usually available in disposable guns at most hardware or
automotive parts stores.
To lubricate transmission, proceed as follows:
1. Lay tiller on left side so that the tine shaft is vertical.
2. Wearing heavy gloves, remove both right side tines.
3. Remove dust cap.
Metal dust cap is held on with a set screw. Back set screw
out approximately four turns. Dust cap should then slide
off of the tine shaft.
4. Remove air vent screw and fill hole screw from
transmission.
5. Fill transmission by using grease gun or grease
applicator at the fill hole screw opening. Push gun
or applicator against the opening so as to "seal" the
nozzle of the gun or applicator against the casting
embossment. Apply grease until you see the grease
at the air vent hole.
6. Re-install air vent screw and fill hole screw.
7. Re-install dust cap.
8. Place a few drops of oil on tine shaft before installing
tines.
9. Wearing heavy gloves, re-install tines. (For tine
pattern, refer to Fig. 16 on page 11)
10. Re-install hairpin.

AIR FILTER
NEVER RUN ENGINE WITHOUT COMPLETE
AIR CLEANER INSTALLED ON ENGINE.
Clean and re-oil every 3 months or every 25 operating
hours, whichever comes first. Clean daily if used in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
KEEP YOUR AIR FILTER CLEAN! In a new machine,
your filter should be clean. However, after you have used
this machine for a while, your filter will accumulate dirt
and dust. Check the condition of your filter frequently. A
dirty or clogged filter element will restrict the air flow to the
carburetor, thus changing the air-fuel mix. This will create
symptoms often mistaken for the carburetor being out of
proper adjustment. To clean the filter, follow these steps:
1. Loosen and remove two screws from cover.
2. Remove COVER, SCREEN, and FOAM FILTER
from MAIN BODY.
3. Inspect SCREEN(S) and FOAM FILTER for
discoloration or dirt accumulation. Clean if either is
present.
