SERVICING YOUR TILLER
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 air vent screw and fill hole screw

from the transmission.

4. 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.

5. Reinstall the air vent screw and fill hole screw.

6. Clean the tine shaft and place a few drops of oil

on the tine shaft before installing the tines.

7. Wear heavy gloves and reinstall the tines in the

reverse order of removal.

8. Install the lock pin through the round side of the

tine shaft hole [a], then turn it over [b] to lock it in
place.
