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 fine 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 ).
CAUTIONt
Never tamper with tile engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed.
