TINE REPLACEMENT

A, 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 impor- tant, worn tines cannot chop and shred organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as good tines. Atine this worn needs to be replaced.

/2 Worn Tine

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

be checked for sharpness, wear, and bending, particulady 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 bolt- ed tine and hub assemblies can be switched between sides to continue till-

ing 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.
