SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TINE REPLACEMENT
(See Figs. 26, 27 and 28)
CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear gloves
or other protection when han dling 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.

• To maintain the superb tilling performance of this
ma chine 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
ex ceeds 3-1/2" they should be replaced or straight ened
as necessary.
• For tines that are slightly worn, the bolt ed tine and
hub assemblies can be switched between sides to
continue till ing in the same tilling mode if tilling in a
different mode is desired then the bolt ed tine and hub
assemblies should be switched back to their original
side so that the tine edge with the least wear will be
used.
