TINE REPLACEMENT

_,CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear gloves or other protection when handling tines.

A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig more shallow. Most important, worn tines cannot chop and shred organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as good tines. A tine this worn needs to be replaced.

New Tine

Worn Tine

To maintain the superb tilling perfor- mance of this machine the tines should

be checked for sharpness, wear, and bending, particularly the tines which

are next to the transmission. If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2 inches

they should be replaced or straightened as necessary.

For tines that are slightly worn, the bolted tine and hub assemblies can be switched between sides to continue

tilling in the same tilling mode if tilling in a different mode is desired then the bolted tine and hub assemblies should be switched back to their original side so that the tine edge with the least wear will be used.
