4. Tine Installation/Replacement

NOTE: In this section, we refer to the E-Z Tiller’s right or left side. These directions are from the operator’s point of view behind the machine. All four tines are different and their positions on the shaft should not be interchanged.

Tines must be installed as shown in FIG. 9 or the unit will not function property. The two outer tines have teeth pointing in one direction only, while the teeth of the inner tines point both outward and inward. Notice that each tine has a heavy, metal hub on one side, near the center. And that each side of a tine is stamped with a letter "A", "B", "C", or "D".

a)On a level, firm surface, grasp the E-Z Tiller’s handle bars and pivot them over and on the other side of the engine. Gently lower the top of the engine onto the ground. The unit is now upside down, in a handy position for installing the tines.

1. (FIG. 10) Start with the left side. Select the tine that is stamped with a "B". Install the tine (on the left tine shaft) with the hub facing to the left (outward).

2. Next, select the tine that is stamped "A". Install this tine on the left tine shaft with the hub facing to the right (inward).

3. Next, select the tine that is stamped "C". Install this tine on the right tine shaft with the hub facing to the right (outward).

4. Then install the last tine (stamped "D") with the hub facing to the left (inward).

5. (FIG. 9) Secure both sets of tines by inserting snap pins (1) through the outer sets of holes in the shaft.

NOTE. (FIG. 10) The two inner tines may be used alone for a reduced tilling width (6"), as opposed to the full 9" width with all four tines attached. To secure the two inner tines, insert the snap pins through the inner (1) set of holes in the shaft.
