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. Put the On/Off Stop Control in the STOP (O) position
and disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Remove the clevis pin clips and clevis pins (Fig. 15).
3. Remove the tines and felt cushions from the shaft.
4. Clean and oil the shaft.
5. The tines are stamped with the letter "R" or "L" to
identify their position on each side of the gearbox
when facing the front of the unit.
6. Replace the tines and felt cushions 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. 16).
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. The tips on
the tines line up in the same direction. It is
important to install the tines correctly.
