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

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 impodant, worn tines can notchop and shred
organic mafter 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 fe this machine
the tines should be checked for sharpness, wear and
bending, particulary the tines which are next to the transmis-
sion (fig. 20). If the gap between the tines exceeds 3-1/2
inches, they should be replaced or straightened as neces-
sary.
New tines should be assembled as shown in figure 21.
CAUTION!
Never tamperwith the engine governor,whichis factoryset
for properengine speed.
