Tine Replacement; Carburetor Adjustment - Craftsman 536.292500 Manual De Instrucciones

TINE REPLACEMENT
The cultivator is left hand or right hand as
viewed from the operator's position behind
the unit.
All four tines on this unit are different and
cannot be interchanged. The tines must be
properly installed as shown in figures to the
right or the cultivator will not function prop-
erly.
For working close around plants or in small
areas, the outside tines may be removed to
reduce the tilling width to about 7 inches. To
reinstall the outside tines see below.
CAUTION: The tines are self sharp-
ening and wilt become quite sharp from
use, Handle carefully.
The tines will all wear fairly evenly. If the
tines are being replaced because of wear,
we recommend that all four tines be re-
placed at the same time. To replace the
tines, do the following:
o Place the on-off switch to the OFF
position and disconnect the spark plug
wire.
• While wearing gloves, remove the
hairpins and the clevis pins from the tines
on one side of the unit and then remove
the tines° See figure, previous page.
° Clean the tine shaft and oil it at the tine
locations.
• Place the inside tine on the tine shaft and
reinstall the clevis pin and hairpin_
• When the tines are properly installed, the
letter R will be visible on the outside of
the right-hand tine (the letter L on the left-
hand tine). The letter should appear
opposite the small hole in the side of the
tine.
° Place the outside tine on the tine shaft
and reinstall the clevis pin and hairpin.
° The outside tine cutting tips will all bend
in toward the inside tine. The letter R on
the right side or L on the left side should
be visible from the outside of the unit.
• Repeat the above steps on the opposite
side of the unit.
• Check to make sure the tines are
installed on correct side of the unit.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
A dirty air cleaner will cause the engine to
run improperly and/or smoke excessively,
Be sure the air cleaner is clean before ad-
justing the carburetor. Never make unnem
essary adjustments to the carburetor. The
carburetor was set at the factory to operate
efficiently under most applications. How-
ever, if adjustments are required, we recom-
mend you contact your nearest Craftsman
Service Center. If you feel that you are com-
petent to make carburetor adjustment pro-
ceed as follows:
m_a CAUTION: Use extreme care when
ing adjustments that require the engine
to be running_ Keep hands, feet, hair and
loose clothing away from any moving part.
o Turn the mixture adjustment screw
clockwise to close.
IMPORTANT: Tighten the adjusting
screw with your fingers to prevent dam-
age to the carburetor or adjusting screw.
Turn the mixture screw counterclockwise
open one (1) turn.
Start the engine and let it warm up
approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Do not
adjust the carburetor when the engine is
cold.
If the engine falters or stops after the
choke lever is moved to the CHOKE OFF
position; open the mixture adjusting screw
an additional 1/8 turn counterclockwise,
With the engine running, release the
throttle _:ontrol (idle position) to make the
mixture adjustments. Then perform the
