Do not mix oil with gasoline. Oil level must be full. Check the oil level by removing oil fill plug. Oil level should be up to the bottom of the fill plug opening.

2.Always check oil level before starting engine. Refer to engine manual for capacity and type of oil to use.

Check Tiller Transmission Grease

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

1.Move tiller to level ground.

2.Remove grease level dipstick located between the handlebar mounts on the engine mount. Correct 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 grease to flow rearward and equalize in both front and rear. The dipstick will read correctly on level ground for both gear units.

(Use Mystic 00 transmission fluid PN 1690)

Check Tire Pressure

Recommended tire pressure is 20 PSI. If tires do not have equal pressure, tiller will pull to one side.
