Check the grease level annually. To check the grease
level:
1. Move tiller to level ground.
2. Remove grease level dipstick located between the
handlebar mounts in the front transmission cover.
Correct 00 grease level is indicated between the high
and low levels on the dipstick.
3. Replace grease level dipstick in the filler hole.
4. Note that the front wheel transmission and rear tine
transmission are one common reservoir. When you
add to the front transmission, you must wait a short
period of time for the 00 grease to flow rearward and
equalize in both front and rear. The dipstick will read
correctly on level ground for both gear units.
