THE TRANSMISSION OIL-FILL HOLE is
un-
der the bottom.
of
the handlebar base. It is
found by unthreading the
'T'
bar control and
lifting the handlebar, base and all,
up
off
the
tiller. First, disconnect the throttle wire from
speed control bracket at carburetor,
or
from
control lever on handlebar. Then place the han-
dlebar and base carefully aside on a piece of
paper where the base won't pick up
dirt
that
might
drop
down
into the transmission when
remounting.
The threaded hole in the
top
of
the trans-
mission cover
for
the
"T"
bar clamp also
pro-
vides
an
escape for any expanding, heated oil
in
your
transmission.
See
Sketch 2/20. The oil
will merely flow
out
and reduce any pressure
that
might
buildup
during
extended periods
of
tiller operation. It doesn't happen often, since
your
transmission is not under oil pressure.
But
don't
worry
if
a little oil does seep
out
there,
it's perfectly normal
as
long
as
you
have
check-
ed the
oil
level hole a few inches above the left
wheel shaft. See Photo
1/8. Oil should
not
be
filled above this hole in the side
of
the trans-
mission. See section
1,
page 19
for
transmission
oil level and the proper gear oil
to
use (SAE #
90
or
#140).
TILLER LUBRICATION POINTS
Please keep the moving linkages and moving
parts that are outside
of
the
tiller
transmission
well lubricated at all times
for
far better tiller
performance and satisfaction
to
you.
See
Photo 7/1 on page
92
in the Maintenance
Section
of
this manual
for
an illustration
point-
ing out all
of
the lubrication points on the tiller
and engine controls.

(Sketch 2/20)
Don't
be
concerned
about
small
amounts
of
oil
seepage here.
