TINE OPERATION CHECK (See Fig. 19)
For proper tine operation, forward tine control lever must be
against control body and all slack removed from inner wire
of control cable when control is in the "OFF" (up) position.
If lever and cable are loose, loosen cable clip at lower
end of cable. Pull up on cable to remove slack, without
extending spring on end of cable, and retighten cable clip.
FINAL CHECK "OFF" POSITION
• With tine control "OFF" (up), push down on handle to
raise tines off the ground.
• Slowly pull recoil starter handle while observing tines.
Tines should not rotate.
• If tines rotate, inner wire of control cable is too tight
which is extending lower spring and engaging tines.
Loosen cable clip and push down on cable only enough
to relieve spring tension. Tighten cable clip.
