STEP5: CHECKTRANSMISSIONGEAR

OIL LEVEL

Thetransmission was filled with gearoil at

the factory. However,besure to check the oil level at this time to makecertain it is

correct.

IMPORTANT: Do not operatethe tiller if the gearoil level is low. Doingso will result in severedamageto the transmission 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:Ifthe 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 level check plug (M, Fig- ure 2-10) on the left-side of the transmis- sion. (Due to dried paint on the plug threads, it may require some force to re-

move the plug the first time.) Thegear oil level is correct if oilstarts to flow out ofthe holeas the plug is removed. If so, securely reinstall the plug.

Figure 2-10: Gear oil level checkplug.

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

Figure2-11:Addinggearoil.

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

(a)Cleanareaaround the fill hole (N, Fig- ure 2-11) and unscrew gear oil fill plug.

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

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

(d)Reinstall and tighten securely the gear oil fill plug (M, Figure 2-10).

STEP6: ATTACHWHEELGEARLEVER

1.Insert the WheelGearLever (P,Figure 2- 12) upthrough the slot in the control panel that is labeled"WHEELGEAR."

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

screws downthrough the'%"marks onthe control paneldecalandsecurely attachthe wheel gear mounting bracket using two #10 lock washers and #10-32 nuts.

3.Usea small board or rubber malletto tap the Wheel GearLever knob securely onto the lever (R, Figure 2-13).

4.Securethe wheel gear cable and the re- verseclutch control cable to the left-side handlebarwith two plastic ties (S, Figure 2-13) locatedabout two feetapart. Snip off any excesstie length.

STEP7: CHECKAIR

Usea tire pressuregauge to check the air pressure in both tires. Deflateor inflate both tires equally to between15 PSiand

20PSI. Besure that both tires are inflated equally or the unit will pull to one side.

STEP8: CHECKHARDWARE

Inspectthe hardware on the unit andtight- en any loose screws, bolts and nuts.
