How to Reseat the Flange
At some point, you may find that the tines won’t turn when you press
the throttle. This may mean the engine isn’t sitting all the way down on
the worm-gear housing.
Perhaps you’ve been using your Tiller/Cultivator for several years. The
flange bolt (Key #22) may have come loose and lifted the engine up.
If this happened you’ll notice a gap between the bottom of the engine
flange (Key #24) and the top of the wormgear housing. (Picture 1)
To fix this, loosen the flange bolt. Take the engine off the wormgear
housing. Notice the hex head on top of the drive shaft (Key #28). Inside
the flange housing, you’ll find the clutch drum (Key #25). Make sure
the hex head lines up with the clutch drum inside the flange housing.
Then put the engine back on the wormgear housing. Make sure the
plastic carrying handle is not under the fuel tank.
If you’ve followed these steps properly, there will be no gap between the
engine flange and the wormgear housing. (Picture 2) Make sure you
tighten the flange bolt!
How to Check the Grease Level Inside
the Worm-Gear Housing
When we built your REDMAX Tiller/Cultivator, we lubricated the
worm-gear housing thoroughly.
It is imperative that you inspect the grease level once a year. Simply
remove the cover plate on the worm-gear housing. (Picture 1) Then
check to make sure the grease comes almost to the top of the housing. If
it doesn’t, add lithium #0 grease. This is the only way to add grease to
the worm-gear housing. (Picture 3) To purchase grease, contact your
local authorized REDMAX dealer.
Please do not overfill. Too much grease can create pressure, which
could cause seals to fail or the clutch to slip.
