SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TINE REPLACEMENT

(See Fsgs. 24, 25 and 26)

A

CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear
gloves or other protection when han­
dling tines.

A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig

more shaliow. Most important, worn tines cannot chop and

shred organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as
good tines. A tine this worn needs to be replaced.

To maintain the superb tilling performance 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 {9 cm), they should be replaced
or straightened as necessary.

New tines should be assembled as shown in Fig.

28. Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from
above.
