Tine replacement
A badly worn fine causes your filler to work harder and dig
shallower. Most important, worn fines can not chop and shred
organic matter as effectively nor bury it as deeply as good
tines. A fine this worn (fig. 19) needs to be replaced.
To maintain the superb tillingperformance fo this machine
tines should be checked for sharpness
wear and bending,
particulary the tines which are next to the transmission (fig.
20). If the gap between the fines exceeds 3-1/2 inches, they
should be replaced or straightened as necessary.
New tines shouldbe assembled as shown in figure21. Sharp-
ened tine edges will rotate rearward from above (fig. 21).
CAUTION!
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed.
