7 HP KOHLER ENGINE
TO ADD MOTOR OIL-With a new engine,
use
2% pints of #30 weight motor oil which has a
service classification of SE. With a wrench, re-
move the dipstick and fill the oil up to the dip-
stick's "Full" mark. To measure, put the dipstick
in hole while engine base is level and rest
threads on top of hole (do not turn threads in).
See
Photo 4/26. Put a small board under the
tines or the tiller's drag bar to level out the en-
gine base.

ATTACH FORWARD/REVERSE LEVER
The next step is to take the Forward/Reverse
Lever and connect the lever to the yoke assem-
bly.
Remove
the two bolts in the end of the yoke
and insert the plate on the end of the lever in
between
the two parallel pieces of the yoke-
as shown in Photo 1/11. Loosely install one of
the bolts as shown-with the plate over the
lever not under the lever-and attach the spring
at both ends. The spring goes in the two pin
holes-one in the roller assembly linkage and
one in the plate of the lever. Then, pull the
lever down to align the holes and install the
second bolt, lockwasher and nut.
should be tight enough so it won't wobble to
the left and right. Don't overtighten and break
the washer.
STEP 50
ATTACH THE HANDLEBARS
Even your handlebars can be assembled with-
out the use of any wrenches; the following tech-
niques will simplify the task and avoid scratch-
ing the paint. Please refer to C in Photo 1/12.
Remove
the vertical adjustment stud (part
#1150) from the handlebar base and the two
ratchets (part #1 020-1 and #1020-2).
(Photo 1/12) Start with right side ratchet A,
clamp B, and stud C, like this.
(Photo 1/11) Connect both ends of the clutch
spring this easy way. .
Please use two W' wrenches to tighten the
nuts enough to flatten the lock washers, and
securely fasten the lever to the yoke. The lever
Lay
the handlebars on top of the tiller so that
the crossbar rests on the Forward/Reverse
Lever that you just installed. Next, put the
clamp B on the adjustment stud C. Pass the
stud through the right handlebar and also put
the right hand ratchet A on the stud (between
the handlebar and the cast iron mounting base.
Then, push the stud through the base as shown
in Photos 1/12 and 1/13.
The next step is to get the left inside ratchet
in between the other handlebar and the handle-
bar base. After that, all that remains is to push
the handlebar adjustment stud all the way
through, then wind it up against the nut on the
left outside clamp, as in Photo 1/14. Set your
handlebars at a comfortable operating height.
Please remember, they will be 3 to 4 inches
lower during tilling than now-while the tiller
is setting on a solid surface.
