Section2: Assembly
IMPORTANT:Check gear oil level in both
transmissions after the first 2 hours of
new tiller operation, then every 30
operating hours thereafter. SeeSection 5
for instructions.

Power Unit Transmission.
Figure 2.13: Checking oil level on
Tine Attachment Transmission.
STEP 7: Add Motor 0il to Engine
I. Beforeadding motor oil, park the tiller
on level ground. Levelthe engine by
placing a sturdy block under the tines or
the tines depth regulator bar.
2. Add high-quality, APl-rated motor oil
to engine before starting. Referto the
EngineOwner's Manualprovided with
your tiller for detailed information on how
to add motor oil and for motor oil
specifications.
IMPORTANT:
• Changeengine oil after first 2 hours of
new operation.
• Checkengine oil level every 5 hours of
operation or each use.
STEP 8: Attach Engine Throttle
Lever and Cable
For shipping purposes, the throttle cable,
together with the throttle lever, is wound
around the engine. Carefully unwind the
cable. If the throttle control label is
coveredwith a clear protective coating,
peel it off.
To avoid electric shock from a short
circuit (electric starttillers only), never
allow the throttle cable to touch the
battery. Routecable below the battery,
onthe outsideof thebatteryholder.
To attach the throttle lever and cable:
I. Run the throttle cable up the inside
edge of the right handlebarand position
the lever as shown in Figure 2-I 4.
2. Fromthe outside of the handlebar,
insert the curved headscrew (A, Figure 2-
14), through the handlebarand the center
hole in the throttle lever mounting
bracket.
3. Loosely install the flanged lock nut
and move the throttle lever back to the
STOPposition.
4. Fromthe lever side of the bracket,
thread a pan headscrew (B, Figure 2-14)
through the small hole in the throttle lever
bracket and into the handlebar. Tighten
the screw securely.
5. Securelytighten both the flanged lock
nut and the curved head screw.
6. Usetwo plastic ties to securethe
throttle cable to the right handlebarin two
places (Figure 2-15). Loop each tie
around the handlebarand cable (serrated
side faces in) and pull the ties tight. Trim
the ends.

STEP9: Adjust Air Pressure in
Tires
For shipping purposes, the tires may be
overinflated. Checkthe air pressure in
eachtire andadjust them to between10
and20 pounds per square inch=You
must inflate each tire to equalair
pressures to prevent the tiller from pulling
to one side.
Assembly is complete for recoil start
tillers. SeeAssembling TheElectric
Start System if you own an electric
start tiller; otherwise, refer to Section
3, Controlsfor information on tiller
controls.
