TINE REPLACEMENT
_CAUTION:
Tines are sharp.
Wear
gloves or other protection when handling
tines.
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to
work harder and dig more shallow.
Most
important,
worn tines cannot chop and
shred organic matter as effectively
nor
bury it as deeply as good tines. A tine this
worn needs to be replaced.
• To maintain
the superb
tilling
perfor-
mance
of this machine
the tines should
be checked
for sharpness,
wear, and
bending,
particularly
the tines which
are next to the transmission.
If the gap
between
the tines
exceeds
3-1/2
inches
they should
be replaced
or straightened
as necessary.
,
New tines should
be assembled.
