Section 2: Assembly

Remove the temporary screw (J, Figure

2-7) from the forward holes and move the Wheels/Tines/PTO Lever fully forward. Install the wider hook end of the clutch pawl spring (M, Figure 2-8) down into the small hole at the end of the handle. Use pliers to insert the other end into the hole in the long link bar (N).

NOTE: Do not bend or over stretch the spring while installing.

6.Pull the Wheels/Tines/PTO Lever back to align the forward most holes (Q, Figure 2-9) in the yoke plate with the holes in the lever plates. Also align the bushing that is inside the short link bar (P). Install the screw, star washer, and nut, then tighten securely.

Securely tighten all other hardware (Q, R, Figure 2-9). Also ensure that the spring

(S) is properly seated at both ends.

Completed assembly should appear as illustrated in Figure 2-9.

7.Test the operation of the Wheels/Tines/PTO Lever. Push the lever down until it engages in the Forward position. The clutch roller (T, Figure 2- 10) must rest beneath the adjustment block (U). Next, move the lever up to the Neutral position. The clutch roller (T, Figure 2-11) should rest on the face of the adjustment block (U). To test Reverse, lift and hold the lever all the way up in Reverse position, then let it go. The lever should automatically return to the Neutral position (Figure 2-11). If not, do not use the tiller. See your local authorized dealer or call the Factory Technical Service Department for instructions.

STEP 6: Check Gear Oil Levels

Your tiller has two separate transmis- sions: one for the Power Unit (Figure 2- 12), the other for the Tine Attachment (Figure 2-13). Both transmissions were filled at the factory with SAE #85W–140 weight gear oil (with an A.P.I rating of GL-4). Check level in both transmis- sions to verify that they are still correct. See Section 5, Transmission Gear Oil Maintenance for complete information on how to check and fill the transmis- sions.
