TINE REPLACEMENT
_I, CAUTION:
lines 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.
New line
&
Worn Tine
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.
For tines that are slightly worn, the
bolted tine and hub assemblies
can be
switched
between sides to continue till-
ing in the same tilling mode if tilling in a
different mode is desired then the
bolted tine and hub assemblies
should
be switched back to their original side
so that the tine edge with the least wear
will be used.
