TINE REPLACEMENT °
,_CAUTION: Tines are sharp° Wear
gloves or other protection when handling
tines.
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to
work harder and dig more shaflow_ 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.
New Tine
Worn Tine
To maintain the superb tilling perfor-
mance 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,
For tines that are slightly worn, the
bolted tine and hub assemblies can be
switched between sides to continue
tilling in the same tilling mode if tilting
in a different mode is desired then the
bolted tine and hub assemblies should
be switched back to their' original side
so that the tine edge with the least wear
will be used,,
