Troy-Bilt 664D manual CABLESMODELE666M

Incorrect cable adjustment could cause the wheels and tines to rotate unexpect- edly. Follow adjustment procedures carefully. Failure to do so could result in personalinjury or propertydamage.

4.Checkfor correct spring/cable tension

as instructed in Section 5, Checkingand Adjusting Forward Clutch Belt Tension.

5.When tension is correct, tighten the two jam nuts (B) securely.

STEP 5: CHECK TRANSMISSION

GEAR OIL LEVEL

The transmission was filled with gearoil

at the factory. However,be sure to check the oil levelat this time to make certain it

is correct.

IMPORTANT:Do not operatethe tiller if the gear oil level is low. Doing so will result in severedamage to the transmis- sion components.

1.With the tiller on level ground, pull the

Depth Regulator Lever (R, Figure 2-13) backand then slide it to the second notch

from the top. NOTE:If the lever does not move, lift the tine hood flap and look for a plastic tie securing the lever in place. Cut and removethe tie.

2.Removethe oil levelcheck plug (M, Figure 2-10) on the left-side of the trans- mission. (Due to dried paint onthe plug threads, it may require some force to removethe plug the first time.) The gear oil level is correct if oil starts to flow out of the hole as the plug is removed. If so, securely reinstall the plug.

Figure2-1O: Gearoilleve/ checkplug.

3.If oil does not flow from the check hole, add oil as follows:

NOTE:Do not useautomatic transmission fluid or motor oil in the transmission.

{a) Clean areaaround the fill hole (N, Figure2-11) and unscrew gear oil fill plug.

Figure 2-11: Addinggear oil,

(b)If adding only a few ounces of gear oil, use API rated GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil having a viscosity of SAE140, SAE85W- 140 or SAE80W-90. If refilling an empty transmission, use only GL-4 gear oil

having a viscosity of SAE85W-140 or SAE140.

(c)Usinga clean funnel, slowly add gear oil until it flows from the gearoil level check hole (N, Figure 2-11).

(d)Reinstall and tighten securely the gear oil fill plug (M, Figure2-10).

STEP 6: ATTACHWHEEL GEAR

LEVER

1.Insert the Wheel GearLever (P, Figure 2-12) up through the slot in the control panelthat is labeled"WHEELGEAR."

2.Insert two #10-32 x 1/2" round head

screws down through the "+" marks on the control paneldecal and securely attach the wheel gear mounting bracket

using two #10 Iockwashersand #10-32 nuts.

3.Usea small board to tap the Wheel GearLever knob securely onto the lever.

4.Securethe wheel gearcable and the reverseclutch control cable to the left- side handlebarwith two plastic ties (S, Figure 2-13) locatedabout two feet apart.

Snip off any excesstie length with scissors.

STEP 7 ATTACHING THE BATTERY

CABLES(MODELE666M)

The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The negativebattery terminal is marked Neg. (-).

1.Remove the hex bolt and hex nut from the positive cable (heavyred wire).

2.Removethe plastic cover from the positive battery terminal and attach the positive cableto the positive battery ter- minal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. Make certainthat the rubber boot covers the

positive terminal to help protect it from corrosion.

3.Removethe hex bolt and hex nut from the negativecable (heavy blackwire).

4.Removethe black plastic cover from the negativebattery terminal and attach the negativecable to the negative battery terminal (-) with the bolt and hex nut.

IMPORTANT:

•If the battery is put into service after the date shown on top of battery, charge the battery as instructed in the Maintenence section of this manual prior to operating the tiller.

STEP 8: CHECK AIR

PRESSURE IN TIRES

Usea tire pressuregauge to check the air pressure in both tires. Deflateor inflate both tires equally to between15 PSI and 20 PSI). Besure that both tires are

inflated equally or the unit will pull to one side.

STEP 9: CHECK HARDWARE

FOR TIGHTNESS

Inspectthe hardware on the unit and tighten any loose screws, bolts and nuts.
