BOLO TINES
The bole tines will wear with use and should be inspected at the beginning of eachtilling seasonand after every30 oper- ating hours. The tines can be replacedel- ther individually or as acomplete set. See the Parts Lisl pagesfor tine identification and part numbers,
A. Tine Inspection:
With use the tines will becomeshorter. narrower and pointed. Badlyworn tines will result in a loss of tilling depth, and re- duced effectivenesswhen chopping up andturning under organic matter.
B. Removin_nstalling a Single Tine:
1.With the engineshut off andthe spark plug wire disconnected, removethe two screws
2.When installing a single tine. besureto position it so that its cutting edge (sharp) will enter the soil first as the rifler moves forward.
C. Removin_nstalling a Tine Assembly:
1.A tine assemblyconsists of eight tines mounted on atine ilolder.
2.If removing both tine assemblies mark them "left" and "right" before removal.
Removethe screw (C, Figure
