4. For regular tine pattern, install inboard tines, being
careful to install tine with stamped letter "C" on right
side of tiller and tine stamped letter "B" on left side of
tiller. (NOTE: Inboard tines have tines formed in
opposite direction.)
5. Install outboard tines, again being careful to install
tine with stamped letter "D" on right side and tine
with stamped letter "A" on left side. (NOTE:
Outboard tines have tines formed in one direction.)
6. Install hairpin cotters through holes in shaft.
If you are tilling in stony or rocky soil, and experience continual rock jams, there are two additional tine patterns that will
help alleviate the problem.
1. Shut off engine.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
Wearing heavy gloves, remove tines and re-install in one of the two stony soil patterns shown in Fig. 16. If you experience
difficulty in removing tines, as a result of dirt or other foreign matter on shaft, you may wish to apply a penetrating oil on
the shaft. When re-installing the tines make sure tine shaft and tine hubs are clean and free of foreign material. The tines
should easily slide onto the shaft.
"DO NOT FORCE THE TINES ONTO THE SHAFT."

TINE PATTERNS FOR STONY OR ROCKY SOIL (See Fig. 16)
NOTE: In the stony soil tine patterns the center gap is wider than in regular tine pattern, see Fig. 16. This will require
additional passes to till this untilled area.
When the tines are properly mounted, the angled portions
of the tine blade should enter the soil first, not the straight
portions, see Fig. 17.
