TINE
REPLACEMENT
The cultivator/tiller
is left hand or right hand
as viewed from the operator's
position
be-
hind 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/tiller
will not function
properly.
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:
- 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 fine 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
fine (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.
