MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

TINE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

All 4 tines should be replaced at the same time because
they will wear evenly through normal use. Work on one
side at a time.
WARNING: To prevent serious personal
injury, always wear heavy gloves when
handling the tines.
1. Stop engine/motor before installing or removing
tines. Disconnect unit from the powerhead.
2. Remove the clevis pin clips and clevis pins (Fig. 6).
3. Remove the tines and felt washers from the shaft.
4. Clean and oil the shaft.
5. The tines are stamped with the letter "R" or "L" to
identified their position on each side of the gearbox
when facing the front of the unit.
6. Replace the tines and felt washers onto the shaft with
the hubs on the tines facing each other.
7. Ensure the tips on tines are aligned in the same
direction with each other before reinstalling the clevis
pins and pin clips (Fig. 7).
8. Repeat this procedure on the opposite side.
NOTE: When installed correctly, there will be an "R" and
"L" tine on each side of the gearbox and the tips
on the tines line up in the same direction. It is
important that the tines are installed correctly.
