3.4 TILLER TINES

Your Snapper Tiller has right hand and left hand

tines. Replace both tines if blades become bent or

are badly worn or otherwise damaged. Use correct

1/4” TO 1/2”

Snapper replacement tines. The tines are secured

to the tine shaft with a shear bolt, Part No. 2-8725

and Lock Nut Part No. 9-0222 on each side. NOTE:

Two extra nuts and two bolts come with tiller. Keep

spares on hand in case a bolt shears off or

becomes lost while tilling. See Figure 11. DO NOT

over tighten these shear bolts as this will cause

premature failure. (Recommended torque is 5 to 8

foot pounds maximum). NOTE: Failure to use the

correct shear bolts could result in serious damage

3.5BELT ADJUSTMENT - REPLACEMENT

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT: Remove the cotter pin that secures clevis pin to left wheel hub. Remove clevis pin from left wheel hub and slide wheel out on axle about 1”. Remove belt guard. Measure the length idler pulley spring at the end of the control cable in a relaxed position. Then move wheel and tine control bail up to the handle bar and measure the extended length of the spring. When properly adjusted, the spring will extend 1/4” to 1/2”. See Figure 12. To adjust, loosen and reposition the two jam nuts on the threaded end of cable located on the dash panel. Move jam nuts toward the end of threaded end of cable for more tension. Move jam nuts in a direction away from the end of threaded end of cable for less tension. See Figure 13. After adjustment, retighten both jam nuts against dash panel. Reinstall belt guard. Slide wheel back into operating position and reinstall clevis pin and secure with hair pin.

3.5.1TENSION TEST: Start the engine with tiller in neutral. Shift transmission into FWD & TILL and pull the wheel and tine control bail up against the handle bar. Tines and wheels will start to rotate. Release control bail. Tines and wheels should stop rotating immediately. If rotation continues after release of control bail then clutch spring tension is to great and will have to be readjusted as described in BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT Section.

3.5.2BELT REPLACEMENT: Pull the clevis pin from the left wheel and slide the wheel out 1”, remove belt guard and then the old belt. NOTE: Replacement belt must go over the top of the idler and be within the belt guide as shown in Figure 14. Check belt tension as described in BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT Section. Reinstall guard, push left wheel back into position and secure with clevis pin and insert and secure cotter pin.

IR5003B, NIR5003B specifications

The Snapper IR5003B and NIR5003B are advanced infrared thermometers that represent the pinnacle of modern temperature measurement technology. These devices have been engineered for precision, durability, and user-friendliness, making them ideal for both professional and amateur applications.

One of the key features of the IR5003B is its laser-guided targeting system. This allows users to accurately measure the temperature of specific surfaces or objects from a distance, ensuring that measurements are taken from exactly the right spot. The dual laser pointers aid in visualizing the measurement area, enhancing accuracy while reducing the chances of error that can occur with wider measurement fields.

The NIR5003B model further extends its capabilities by incorporating advanced non-contact temperature measurement technology. This feature is particularly valuable in applications where direct contact with the subject is not possible or practical, such as moving objects or hazardous materials. Users can obtain quick and accurate temperature readings without the risk of contamination or damage to sensitive surfaces.

Both models boast a wide temperature range, typically spanning from -50°C to 500°C, catering to a variety of use cases, from monitoring food safety to industrial applications. The high-resolution display provides easy visibility of readings, which can be crucial in fast-paced environments where quick decisions are necessary.

Another standout characteristic of the Snapper IR5003B and NIR5003B is their response time. These thermometers are designed to gather data swiftly, allowing users to track temperature changes in real time. This is particularly useful in processes that require consistent monitoring, such as HVAC systems, engine maintenance, and food preparation.

Additionally, these devices offer features like adjustable emissivity settings, enabling users to tailor the device to the properties of different materials for improved accuracy. The ergonomic design ensures that the devices are comfortable to hold and operate, reducing user fatigue during prolonged use.

In summary, the Snapper IR5003B and NIR5003B are versatile infrared thermometers that combine advanced technology and user-friendly features. With laser targeting, non-contact measurement capabilities, a broad temperature range, swift response times, and adjustable emissivity settings, they are designed to meet the demands of various industries efficiently and effectively. Whether for professional use or home applications, these thermometers are invaluable tools for anyone needing precise temperature measurements.
