Tine replacement
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig
shallower. Most important, worn tines can not chop and shred
organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as good
tines. A tine this worn (fig. 19) needs to be replaced.
To maintain the superb tilling performance fo this machine
the tines should be checked for sharpness, wear and
bending, particulary the tines which are next to the transmis-
sion (fig. 20). If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2
inches, they should be replaced or straightened as neces-
sary.
New tines should be assembled as shown in figure 21.
Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from above (fig.
21).
CAUTION!
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed.
