Put it aside. Let all of the old engine oil drain completely into the drain pan. 6. Reinstall the drain plug securely. 7. Remove the wood board from beneath the wheel. 8. Refill the engine with the correct type and weight of engine oil. See your separate Engine Owner’s Manual for specifications. 9. Check the oil level to be sure it is correct before starting the engine. 1. Start the engine and allow it to run until it is warm. Then TURN THE ENGINE OFF. 2. There are two engine oil drain plugs on either side of the engine base. Use whichever one is most conveniently located for you. 3. Place a 2"x 4" wood board under the wheel opposite the drain plug you’ll be removing. 4. Place a drain pan with a minimum capacity of 1 -quart beneath the drain plug. A WARNING Stop the engine, allow it to cool, disconnect the spark plug wire and prevent it from touching the spark plug before checking, adding or changing the transmission gear oil. Do not touch any engine parts which may be hot. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage. Checking and Topping-Off Transmission Gear Oil Checking Transmission Gear Oil: 1. Move the tiller to a level area. 2. Pull the Depth Regulator Lever all the way up. 3. Unscrew the filler/check plug from the top of the transmission (it is located just behind the belt cover). 4. Use a flashlight to look down into the filler/check plug hole. Note the worm gear on the drive shaft (refer to Figure 5-5 inset). Look on either side of the worm gear to see the surface of the gear oil. If the gear oil level is correct, it should be halfway up the sides of the worm gear. If topping off is required, follow instructions given next. 24 tenanci lairs шшштжь Photo 5-5: Checking the transmission gear oil level. The Inset Figure shows the worm gear. Topping off Transmission Gear Oil 1. Complete steps l-through-3 described in “Checking Transmission Gear Oil.” 2. Insert a funnel into the filler/check plug hole. NOTE: When adding only a few ounces of gear oil, use API rated GL-4 or GL-5 transmission gear oil with a viscosity of SAE 140, SAE 85W-140, or SAE 80W-90. When adding a complete refill of new gear oil after having drained the transmission, refill only with SAE 140 or SAE 85W-140 with an API of GL-4. 3. Slowly pour clean gear oil into the transmission. Frequently check the level so as not to overfill the transmission. See Figure 5-6. 4. When the gear oil level is correct, reinstall the filler/check plug securely. Changing Transmission Gear Oil The transmission gear oil does not have to be changed unless you know that it has been contaminated by foreign materials such as sand, dirt, or metal particles. Of course, any internal repairs on the transmission would also require that the gear oil be drained and changed. 1. Drain gasoline from the fuel tank or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty. 2. Drain the oil from the engine. 3. Remove the four bolts and washers securing the transmission cover to the front part of the transmission. Lift the cover and gasket off the transmission. See Figure 5-7. 4. Remove the left wheel. 5. Lower the left axle down into a drain pan and slowly tilt the tiller to the left so the gear oil drains from the top of the transmission into the drain pan. See Photo 5-8. 6. Once gear oil has drained, tilt tiller upright and reinstall wheel. 7. Reinstall the transmission cover using a new cover gasket. 8. Add new gear oil—see specifications in NOTE at left. 9. Add engine oil to the engine. DANGER Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive. Follow these safety practices j to prevent personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion. • Allow the engine and muffler to cool for at least two minutes before draining the tiller’s gasoline tank. • Do not allow open flames, sparks, matches or smoking in the area. • Wipe away spills and push tiller away from spilled fuel. • Use only an approved fuel container and store it safely i out of the reach of children. • Do not store gasoline in an area where its vapors could | reach an open flame or | spark, or where ignition sources are present (such as hot water and space heaters, furnaces, clothes dryers, stoves, electric motors, etc.) Photo 5-8: Draining the gear oil. 25 M aîntenance/Repairs Checking for Oil Leaks Regularly check your tiller for oil leaks from the engine and the transmission. Slight seepage is no cause for major concern. However, if your tiller is losing a lot of oil, do not use it until it’s repaired. Inspect the area where you park your tiller for stains on the floor which would indicate a leak. If you find a leak, first tighten any bolts or screws which may have loosened up. If you are unsure how much oil has been lost from the tiller, check the oil levels before operation. Also, when operating your tiller, frequently check the oil levels to be sure that engine oil and transmission gear oil levels don’t become too low for safe ...
