CU LTIVATI NG
Cultivating
is destroying
the weeds
between
rows to prevent
them
from rob-
bing nourishment
and moisture
from the
plants.
At the same time,
breaking
up the
upper
layer of soil crust
will help retain
moisture
in the soil. Best digging
depth
is
1" to 3" (2.5-7.5
cm).
• Cultivate
up and down
the rows at a
speed
which
will allow
tines to uproot
weeds
and leave the ground
in rough
condition,
promoting
no further
growth
of weeds
and grass.

TINE SHEAR PINS
The tine assemblies
on your tiller are
secured
to the tine shaft with shear
pins
(See "TINE REPLACEMENT"
in the
Service
and Adjustments
section
of this
manual).
If the tiller is unusually
overloaded
or
jammed,
the shear
pins are designed
to
break
before
internal damage
occurs
to
the transmission.
• If shear
pin(s)
break,
replace
only with
those
shown
in the Repair
Parts section
of this manual.
