Removing and Replacing Tines
Cultivator tines are subject to wear and should be
replaced if any signs of damage are present.
Tines should also be removed and cleaned after each
use.
WARNING: Cultivator tines are
sharp. Always wear
leather gloves to
protect your hands when handling tines.
To replace the cultivator's tines:
1. Remove the click pin found at the end of each tine
shaft.
NOTE: Each tine assembly is stamped either "A" or "B"
(Fig. 9). Note each tine's location on the shaft for
easier reassembly
2. Carefully remove each tine assembly from the tine
shafts.
3. Wipe each tine shaft clean with a damp cloth and
apply a light coat of oil (i.e. 3-N-One) or silicon-based
lubricant to each shaft. Do NOT use WD-40.
4. Rinse each tine assembly with water and thoroughly
dry each it before placing on tine shaft.
5. Re-insert each click pin to secure the tine assemblies
in place.
Tips for Replacing Tines
• Each tine shaft holds one tine assembly stamped "A"
and one tine assembly stamped "B".
• The bell sides of both tine assemblies (on each shaft)
should face each other (Fig. 9).
• The hub of each tine assembly (Fig. 9) should face
outward (away from the cultivator's gearbox).
