Tine replacement

A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig shallower. Most important, worn tines can not chop and shred organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as good tines. A tine this worn (fig. 19) needs to be replaced.

To maintain the superb tilling performance fo this machine the tines should be checked for sharpness, wear and bending, particulary the tines which are next to the transmission (fig. 20). If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2 inches, they should be replaced or straightened as necessary.

New tines should be assembled as shown in figure 21. Sharp- ened tine edges will rotate rearward from above (fig. 21).

CAUTION!

Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed.
