Transmission/Gear Oil
The transmission was filled with gear oil at the factory. However,
you should check the gear oil level at this time to make certain it
is correct.
NOTE: Do not operate the tiller if the gear oil level is low. Doing
so will result in severe damage to the transmission components.
With the tiller on level ground, pull the Depth Regulator 1.
Lever back and then all the way up until the lowest notch in
the lever is engaged. See Fig. 3-5.
Remove the oil fill plug from the transmission housing 2.
cover and locate the main drive shaft situated inside the
housing. See Fig. 3-6.
The gear oil level is correct if the gear oil is approximately 3.
halfway up the side of the main drive shaft.
If the oil level is low, refer to the Maintenance & 4.
Adjustments Section for instructions on adding gear oil.
