SERVICE & ADJUSTMENTS

TINE REPLACEMENT

The tiller/cultivator is left hand or right hand as viewed from the operator's position behind the unit.

All four tines on this unit are different and cannot be inter- changed. The tines must be properly installed as shown in figures 1 and 2 or the tiller/cultivator will not function properly.

The outside tines may be removed to reduce the tilling width to about 6 inches, for working close around plants or in small areas, if desired. When reinstalling the outside tines see below.

CAUTION: THE TINES ARE SELF-SHARP- ENING AND WILL BECOME QUITE SHARP FROM USE. HANDLE CAREFULLY.

TINES

The tines will all wear fairly evenly. If the tines are being replaced because of wear, we recommend that all four tines be replaced at the same time. To replace the tines, do the following:

Place the shut-off switch to the (OFF) position and disconnect the spark plug wire.

Remove the hairpins and the clevis pins from the tines on one side of the unit and remove the tines (See FIG.. 1-SERV.&ADJ.).

Clean the tine shaft and oil the shaft at the tine locations.

Place the inside tine on the tine shaft and reinstall the clevis pin and hairpin.

When the tines are properly installed, the letter "R" will be visible on the outside of the right-hand tine (the letter "L" on the left-hand tine). The letter should appear opposite the small hole in the side of the tine.

Place the outside tine on the tine shaft and reinstall the clevis pin and hairpin cotter.

The outside tine cutting tips will all bend in toward the inside tine. The letter "R" on the right side or "L" on the left side should be visible from the outside of the unit.

Repeat steps on the opposite side of the unit.

Check to make sure the tines are installed on correct side of the unit (See FIG. 2-SERV.&ADJ).
