CHECK TILLER TRANSMISSION GREASE

TILLER TRANSMISSION IS SHIPPED FROM FACTORY WITH THE PROPER AMOUNT OF 00 LIQUID GREASE.

Check the grease level annually. To check the grease level:

1.Move tiller to level ground.

2.Remove grease level dipstick located on the front transmission cover. Correct 00 grease level is indicated between the high and low levels on the dipstick.

3.Replace grease level dipstick in the filler hole.

4.Note that the front wheel transmission and rear tine transmission are one common reservoir. When you add to the front transmission, you must wait a short period of time for the 00 grease to flow rearward and equalize in both front and rear. The dipstick will read correctly on level ground for both gear units.
