TINE
REPLACEMENT
,_CAUT[ON:
Tines
are sharp.
Wear
gloves
or other
protection
when
handling
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.
New Tine
Worn Tine
To maintain
the superb
tilling
perfor-
mance
of this machine
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.
