SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

• To maintain the superb tilling performance of this

ma chine 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

ex ceeds 3-1/2" they should be replaced or straight ened

as necessary.

• For tines that are slightly worn, the bolt ed tine and

hub assemblies can be switched between sides to

continue till ing in the same tilling mode if tilling in a

different mode is desired then the bolt ed tine and hub

assemblies should be switched back to their original

side so that the tine edge with the least wear will be

used.

TINE REPLACEMENT

(See Figs. 26, 27 and 28)

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 shallow. 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.
