be even with the plug hole (with tiller level). Add oil if
necessary. Use SAE 30 non-detergent motor oil. Replace
oil fill plug.
Check the transmission oil level after each 10 hours of
operation.
NOTE: It is not necessary to change the oil in this tiller
transmission. If for any reason it must be changed, oil
capacity is 22 oz.
BEARING LUBRICATION
Grease the tine shaft bearings every 8-10 hours. Use a

CLEANING
• Clean engine as instructed in the engine manual.
Clean wheels, finish, etc. of all foreign matter.
Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all
gasoline, oil, etc.
Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.
Do not use a garden hose to clean your unit unless the
muffler, air filter, and carburetor are covered to keep water
out. Water in the engine will result in shorter engine life.
Do not operate tiller without muffler. Do not tamper with
exhaust system. Damaged mufflers or spark attesters
could create a fire hazard. Inspect periodically and
replace if necessary. If your engine is equipped with a
spark attester screen assembly, remove every 50 hours
for cleaning and inspection. Replace if damaged.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always stop engine and
disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning,
lubricating, or before performing any repairs
or maintenance.
Check oil level before each use and every 8 hours.
Maintain oil at level shown in figure 11 below.
Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal
conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely
dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and
flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should
be serviced. Refer to separate engine manual to
service the air cleaner.
Spark plug replacement is recommended every 100
hours or yearly. Check the engine manual for correct
plug type and gap specifications.
