TINE REPLACEMENT
A
c
AUTION;
Tines are sharp. Wear
gloves or other protection when handling
tines.
A badly worn tine causes your tiller to work
harder and dig more shallow. Most impor
tant, 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.

To maintain the superb tilling perfor
mance 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
they should be replaced or straightened
as necessary.
For tines that are slightly worn, the bolt
ed tine and hub assemblies can be
switched between sides to continue titl
ing in the same tilling mode. If tilling in a
different mode is desired then the bolted
tine and hub assemblies should be
switched back to their original side so
that the tine edge with the least wear will
be used.
