at the factory. However,you should check
the gear oil levelto make certain it is
correct.
IMPORTANT:Do not operate the tiller if
the gear oil levelis low. Doing so will
result in severedamageto the transmis-

1. Putthe tiller on level ground. Pull the
DepthRegulator Lever (FF,Fig. 2-10)
back and then adjust it up or down to the
notch that makesthe tiller level.
2. Removethe oil fill plug (GG,Fig, 2-11)

drive shaft on one side of the hole,
3. The gearoil level is correct if the gear
oil is approximately halfway up the side of
the drive shaft,
4. If the gear oil level is low, add gear oil
by referring to "A. To Checkthe Transmis-
sion GearOil Level"in Section 5,
STEP 7: Add Motor Oil to Engine
