TINE REPLACEMENT
A c AUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear
gloves or other protection when handling
tines.
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work
harder and dig more shallow. Most impor­
tant, worn tines cannot chop and shred
organic matter as effectively nor buty it as
deeply as good tines. A tine this worn
needs to be replaced.
To maintain the superb tilting perfor­
mance of this machine the tines should
be checked for sharpness, wear, and
bending, particularly the tines which are
next to the transmission. If the gap
between the tines exceeds 3-1/2 inches
they should be replaced or straightened
as necessary.
New tines should be assembled. Sharp­
ened tine edges will rotate rearward
from above.
