OPERATION

TINE SHEAR PINS

The tine assemblies on your tiller are secured to the tine shaft with shear pins (See “TINE REPLACEMENT” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

If the tiller is unusually overloaded or jammed, the shear pins are designed to break before internal damage occurs to the transmission.

•If shear pin(s) break, replace only with those shown in the Repair Parts section of this manual.

CULTIVATING

Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to pre- vent them from robbing nourishment and moisture from the plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer of soil crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best digging depth is 1" to 3" (2.5-7.5 cm). Lower the outer side shields to protect small plants from being buried.

•Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will allow tines to uproot weeds and leave the ground in rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds and grass (See Fig. 15).

ADJUST WHEELS FOR CULTIVATING (See Figs. 16 and 17)

•Replace clevis pin and hairpin clip on inside of wheel and remove blocks.

•Repeat preceding steps on left hand side.

NOTE: In extremely rough conditions and while cultivat- ing, the wheels should be moved outward on the axle for increased stability.
