firmly and pull the cap from the spark plug.
2. Set the unit on a flat, level surface. Tip the unit back so that the

before removing the tines.

Slide the tines off of the tine shafts. (Fig. 9).
Installing the New Tines
1. Clean and oil the tine shafts.

face toward each other (Fig. 9).
NOTE: Each tine has a convex side. Make sure that the convex
sides are facing as shown (Fig. 10).
3. Insert a click pin through the hole at the end of the tine shaft
(Fig. 10). Push the click pin ring toward the tines until it clicks
into place.
