3. Remove the belt keeper assembly located behind the engine
pulley by removing the two hex bolts and lock washers. See
Figure 23.
4. Remove the idler pulley by removing the bolt and nut.
See Figure 23.
5. Remove the old belt and install the new belt. Follow the instruc-
tions in reverse order to re-install the belt keeper and belt cover.
See Figure 23.
NOTE: Upon reassembly, make certain the belt is routed over the idler
pulley and inside of the belt keepers by the engine pulley.
TINES
The tines will wear with use and should be inspected at the beginning
of each tilling season and after every 30 operating hours. The tines
can be replaced. Refer to the Parts List section of this manual for part
numbers.
Tine Inspection
With use, the tines will become shorter, narrower and pointed. Badly
worn tines will result in a loss of tilling depth, and reduced effective-
ness when chopping up and turning under organic matter.
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 and a right hand tine.
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 internal cotter pin
securing the clevis pin. See Figure 24.
4. Remove the clevis pin and slide the assembly to the outside of
the unit and off of the tine shaft.
5. 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.
6. 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.
