INSTALLING THE TINES
See Figure 7, page iv.
The cultivator has four tines —two inner tines stamped B
and C, and two outer tines stamped A and D. For correct
operation of the unit, the tines must be installed in the cor-
rect orientation.
NOTE: The view of the gearbox for tine installation is from
the front of the cultivator.

Lean the unit back on its wheels so that the handlebar
rests on the ground.
 Place tine C on the tine shaft to the left of the gear box.
The stamped side of the tine should face away from the
gear box.
 Place tine B on the tine shaft to the right of the gear box.
The stamped side of the tine should face away from the
gear box.
 Place a felt washer on each side of the tine shaft, and
slide to rest against the inner tines.
 Place the outer tine stamped D on the left side of the tine
shaft. The stamped side should face in toward tine C.
 Place the outer tine stamped A on the right side of the
tine shaft. The stamped side should face in toward
tine B.
NOTE: When installed correctly, the angled edge of the
tine blades should face the ground.
 To secure the tines to the tine shaft, insert the hitch pin
into the holes located on either side of the tine shaft.
NOTE: The unit will not operate properly if the tines are in-
stalled incorrectly. If you notice a problem with the cultivating
operation of the unit, check for proper tine positioning.
