REMOVING AND REPLACING TINES

Cultivator tines are subject to wear and should be replaced if

any signs of damage are present. Tines should also be

removed and cleaned after each use.

Tine Removal and Replacement

NOTE: It may be necessary to lay the cultivator back in a

horizontal position on a flat level surface with the

upper handle touching the ground. It may also be

necessary to wash any dirt off the tines and shaft for

ease of removal.

2. Remove the click pin from each end of the tine shaft. Slide

the tines off of the shaft (Fig. 9).

3. Clean and oil the shaft.
