NOTE: To drain oil, remove oil filler plug and tip tiller on its side. Drain oil while the engine is warm. See engine manual for filling instructions. GEAR CASE - Proper lubricant level should be up to the front pipe plug. Check with tiller on a level surface. Add lubricant through the vented pipe plug hole. Add enough to bring level up to front plug hole. Use Molilube SAE 140 Gear Oil or equivalent. Gear case should be maintained with five (5) ounces of lubricant. Lubricate the upper bushing in the gear case with a small amount of grease. Do not over lubricate as any excess will enter the gear case proper. Use a high pressure gun grease. THROTTLE - Periodically lubricate throttle control lever and throttle control wire assembly with a few drops of light oil (SAE 10 or 20) for ease of operation. FORM NO. 770-912E !
