WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, YOU MUST FIRST SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO ALLOW PARTS TO COOL AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG.

Your DR ROTO-HOG POWER TILLER was lubricated at the Factory. However, periodic lubrication of the Engine and Tines Shaft is required.

Supplies Needed:

Grease Gun w/General purpose grease

NEVER OIL OR GREASE PIVOT POINTS. VISCOUS LUBRICANTS WILL ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT THAT CAN CAUSE WEAR ON PIVOT POINTS. IF YOU FEEL YOU MUST LUBRICATE THEM, USE ONLY DRY POWDERED GRAPHITE TYPE LUBRICANTS.

Tines Shaft:

Grease the Tines Shaft using a Grease Gun with General Purpose grease every 8 – 10 hours. Apply about ten (10) pumps of the grease in the Grease Fitting (Figure 18). Perform this lubrication more often in dry and dusty environments.
