Reverse Clutch Cable
Unwrap the reverse clutch cable from its shipping position
and route it up to the handlebar. See Fig. 3-7. Be sure that
the cable is routed beneath the Forward Clutch Bail.
Insert the cable through the slot in the cable bracket and
position the flat side of the threaded assembly next to the
flat side of the hole. Slide the hex nut up the cable and
tighten it securely.
Fasten the reverse clutch cable to the left side handlebar
with a cable tie.
Test the function of the reverse clutch by pulling out and
releasing the cable knob. The knob should return to its
neutral position (resting against bracket). If it doesn’t,
contact your local dealer or Troy-Bilt LLC for technical
assistance.
Set-Up
Tire Pressure
Check the air pressure with a tire guage. Deflate or inflate the
tires equally to between 15 and 20 PSI.
NOTE: Be sure that both tires are inflated equally or the tiller will
pull to one side.
Gas & Oil Fill Up
WARNING! Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and any other
sources of ignition.
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the
Engine Operator’s Manual packed seperately with your tiller.
Read the instructions carefully.

Transmission Gear Oil
The transmission was filled with gear oil at the factory. However,
you should check the gear oil level at this time to make certain it
is correct.
NOTE: Do not operate the tiller if the gear oil level is low. Doing
so will result in severe damage to the transmission components.
With the tiller on level ground, pull the Depth Regulator
Lever back and then all the way up until the lowest notch in
the lever is engaged. See Fig. 3-8.
Remove the oil fill plug from the transmission housing
cover and locate the main drive shaft situated inside the
housing. See Fig. 3-9.
The gear oil level is correct if the gear oil is approximately
halfway up the side of the main drive shaft.
If the oil level is low, add gear oil by referring to the
Maintenance & Adjustments Section.
