Remove the foam filter and fiber filter elements.

Replace with a new fiber filter and a new oiled foam filter
(Figure 13), or clean the original foam and fiber filters
with warm water and mild soap.

Remember to thoroughly oil the foam filter with

30 or 40 weight motor oil and squeeze out any excess oil
before reinstalling it. Make sure to press the foam filter
evenly into place over the fiber filter to ensure that the
foam is fully seated into its sealed position.
5.

Replace the air filter cover by first connecting the

back latch tabs then swinging the cover, making sure the
foam filter block stays fully seated and in its proper
position, and connect the front latch tab so that it is
secured into place.
6.

Screw the cover bolt back into place. Check that

the cover is securely attached by pulling slightly on the
cover. If the cover doesn’t move when pulled, it is secure.

Tine Removal and Installation

TO REMOVE TINES

Remove the hairpins from each end of the tine

shaft (Figure 14).
2.

Slide the four tines off the shaft.

TO INSTALL TINES

First slide the inside tines onto each end of the

tine shaft (Figure 14). One inside tine is stamped with a B
and the other is stamped with a C.
2.

Slide the outside tine A and tine D onto each end

of the shaft next. The tines should be installed in the
correct order so that they are positioned left to right A, B,
C, D, as viewed from the user’s position on the Tiller.
Make sure that the hub collars on both the right and left
pairs of tines face each other so that there is adequate
spacing between the tine blades.
3.

Insert the hairpins into the holes at each end of

the tine shaft to lock the tines into place.

Note: Tines can be reversed so the pointed tip of the tines
are directed forward - for more aggressive digging. In this
arrangement, tines are positioned left to right D, C, B, A as
viewed from the user’s position

Never twist air filters when cleaning. Always press.
