Before performing this check, you must first shut off the Engine; wait five (5) minutes to allow parts to cool and disconnect the
Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.

Tine Operation Check

1. Disengage the Tines and raise them up off the ground using the Lift Handle.

2. Rotate one set of Tines with your hand; the other set should also rotate.

3. Replace the Spark Plug wire.

Tine Shear Bolts

The DR ROTO-HOG Premier Power Tiller drive components are protected from damage by Grade 5 Shear Bolts in the Tine
Assemblies. The Shear Bolts hold the Tine Assemblies in proper location on the Drive Axles. Should a Tine Assembly strike or
pick up a large hidden object and jam, the Shear Bolt holding the Tine Assembly to the drive shaft will shear or break, protecting
the drive components of the DR ROTO-HOG Premier Power Tiller from major damage.

Two (2) extra sets of Tine Shear Bolts with Lock Washers are included with the DR ROTO-HOG Premier Power Tiller.

They are

located in the Tiller Stake Support Bracket on the rear of the Tiller.

The design of the Tine Shear Bolt is to loosely fit when properly installed.

When performing any maintenance, you must first shut off the Engine; wait five (5) minutes to allow parts to cool and disconnect
the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.

NEVER attempt to use a Bolt or Pin that is larger or harder than the original Grade 5 Shear Bolts.
