INSTALLING THE TINES

See Figure 5.

The cultivator has four tines —two inner tines labeled B and C, and two outer tines labeled A and D. For correct opera- tion of the unit, the tines must be installed in the correct orientation.

Lean the unit back on its wheels so that the handlebar rests on the ground.

Place tine C on the tine shaft to the left of the gear box. The stamped side of the tine should face away from the gear box.

Place tine B on the tine shaft to the right of the gear box. The stamped side of the tine should face away from the gear box.

Place a felt washer on each side of the tine shaft, and slide to rest against the inner tines.

Place the outer tine labeled D on the left side of the tine shaft. The stamped side should face in toward tine C.

Place the outer tine labeled A on the right side of the tine shaft. The stamped side should face in toward tine B.
