hand wheel. Pull wheel out from tiller about 1-1/2 inches.

e. Place new belt in groove to transmission pulley (large pulley)
and into groove of engine pulley (fig. 17). Belt must be in groove
on top of idler pulley (fig. 17). Note positon of belt to guides.
f. Tighten belt guide (fig. 17 -inset)
Tine replacement
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work harder and dig
shallower. Most important, worn tines can not chop and shred
organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as good tines.
A tine this worn (fig. 19) needs to be replaced.
To maintain the superb tilling performance fo this machine the
tines should be checked for sharpness, wear and bending,
particulary the tines which are next to the trans mis sion (fig. 20).
If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2 inches, they should
be replaced or straightened as nec es sary.
New tines should be assembled as shown in figure 21.
Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from above (fig. 21).
IMPORTANT!
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed.
