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. 16) 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 trans mis sion (fig.
17). If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2", they should
be replaced or straightened as nec es sary.
New tines should be assembled as shown in figure 18. Sharp-
ened tine edges will rotate rearward from above (fig. 18).
CAUTION!
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed.
