Removing/Installing a Tine Assembly
1.
Remove the tine shield end covers and side shields by
removing the three wing nuts on each side that secure
them.
2.
A tine assembly consists of a left hand tine assembly and a
right hand tine assembly.
NOTE: The tine assembly moves in a counter-rotating
motion with the sharp edges of the tines positioned to
enter the soil first when counter-rotating. Note this position
of the tines for reinstallation of the new tine assemblies.
3.
To remove a tine assembly, simply remove the cotter pin
securing the clevis pin as seen in Figure 7-4. Remove the
clevis pin and slide the assembly to the outside of the unit
and off of the tine shaft.

4.
Before reinstalling the tine assembly, inspect the tine
shaft for rust, rough spots or burrs. Lightly file or sand, as
needed. Apply a thin coat of grease to the shaft.
5.
Install each tine assembly so that the cutting (sharp) edge
of the tines will enter the soil first when the tiller moves
forward. Keep in mind that these tines are counter rotating,
so secure the tine assembly to the tine shaft using the
clevis pin and internal cotter pin.
Change Transmission Gear Oil
NOTE: The transmission gear oil does not need to be changed
unless it has been contaminated with dirt, sand or metal
particles.
See an authorized service dealer to have the transmission gear oil
changed. Refer to the phone numbers on page 2 of this manual
to locate the nearest service dealer.
