TINE OPERATION CHECK
_WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug to prevent starting while
checking tine operation.
For proper tine operation, tine control lever

when control is in the "OFF" (up) position.
If lever and cable are loose, loosen cable
clip at lower end of cable. Pull up on cable
to remove slack, without extending spring

1. With tine control "OFF" (up), push
down on handle to raise tines off the
ground.
2. Slowly pull recoil starter handle while
observing tines. Tines should not
rotate.

cable is too tight which is extend-
ing lower spring and engaging tines.

cable only enough to relieve spring ten-
sion. Tighten cable clip.
