I&
CAUTION:
Tines
are
sharp.
Wear
I
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.

FIG. 24
To maintain the superb tilling performance
of this
machine 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
exceeds 3-1/2 inches (9 cm), they should be replaced
or straightened as necessary.
New tines should be assembled
as shown in Fig.
26. Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from
above.
