TINE OPERATION CHECK

_f_WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug to prevent starting while checking tine operation.

For proper tine operation, tine control lever

must be against control body and all slack removed from inner wire of control cable

when control is in the "OFF" (up) position. If lever and cable are loose, loosen cable clip at lower end of cable. Pull up on cable to remove slack, without extend- ing spring on end of cable, and retighten cable clip.

1.With tine control "OFF" (up), push down on handle to raise tines off the

ground.

2.Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines. Tines should not rotate.

3.If tines rotate, inner wire of control cable is too tight which is extend- ing lower spring and engaging tines. Loosen cable clip and push down on cable only enough to relieve spring tension. Tighten cable clip.

4.Recheck in "OFF" position and adjust if necessary.
