TINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 24, 25 and 26)
! _ CAUTION: Tines are sharp- Wear I
gloves or other protection when han- I
dling tines. !
== .HH.,.=.....=..HI
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 itas 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 they should be replaced or
straightened as necessary.
= New tines should be assembled as shown in Fig. 26.
Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from above.
