SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 22, 23, and 24)
CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear gloves or other protection when han- dling 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.
