How much oil should I put in the rotavator attachment gearbox?
The rotavator attachment should take approximately 400ml from empty.
However, after every 100 hours of use, or once a year (whichever is sooner), check that the oil level in the rotavator transmission is within 50mm (2”) of the hole.
To perform this operation, remove the bolts that attach the support rod to the rotavator transmission and the depth handle to the central knife.
Raise the rotavator hood, remove the plug and check the oil level, making sure the machine is level.
If necessary top up with SAE 80w/90 EP gear oil.
Reassemble the unit by performing the operations in reverse.
