INSTALLING THE TINES
See Figures 6 - 10.
The inner tine assemblies are marked "A". The right outer
tine is marked "C" and the left outer tine is marked "B". For
correct operation of the unit, the tines must be installed in
the correct position.

be installed on the wrong sides. Reverse the position of
the tine assemblies and check for hole alignment. When
installed correctly, the "A" on the right inner tine assembly
should be closer to the gear box than the "A" on the left
inner tine assembly.

and the shaft.
 Pull the band on each lock pin around the tine shaft and
connect them to the the bottom of each pin.
