SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 27, 28 and 29)

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.

To maintain the superb tilling performance of this ma- chine 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.
