Tlne replacement
A badly worn ltne causes your tiller to work harder and dig
shallower. Most important, worn fines can not chop and shred
organic matter as effscfiveh/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,
particulaq/the tines which are next to the transmission (fig.
20). If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2 inches, they
should be replaced or straightened as necessary.

ened tine edges willrotata rearwardfrom above (fig.21).
CAUTION!
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed.
