You must lubricate all the working parts on your tiller at least once a season. The transmission uses 30 oz. of Benalene 920 grease. You must also apply a small amount of silicone sealant or RTV to the right side of the transmission. Your engine does not have any oil in it when you first purchase it. Always fill up the engine with oil before starting it.

It has a handle adjustment lever on the top right of the shaft, which allows you to raise or lower the handle height. You also have a depth stake, which allows you to manipulate how deep the tines dig.

  The gear selection is on the top left of the shaft. It also has a throttle control, which is located on the tiller engine. This control allows you to stop and start the engine. It also has a choke lever on the left side of the throttle. The choke lever helps you start a cold engine. The clutch control bail, which starts the tine drive and wheels, is located on the handle.
