TINE REPLACEMENT
The tiller/cultivator is left hand or right hand as viewed from the
operator's position behind the unit.
All four tines on this unit are different and cannot be inter-
changed. The tines must be properly installed as shown in
figures 1 and 2 or the tiller/cultivator will not function properly.
The outside tines may be removed to reduce the tilling width
to about 6 inches, for working close around plants or in small
areas, if desired. When reinstalling the outside tines see
below.
The tines will all wear fairly evenly. If the tines are being
replaced because of wear, we recommend that all four tines be
replaced at the same time. To replace the tines, do the
following:
● Place the shut-off switch to the (OFF) position and
disconnect the spark plug wire.
● Remove the hairpins and the clevis pins from the
tines on one side of the unit and remove the tines (See
FIG.. 1-SERV.&ADJ.).
● Clean the tine shaft and oil the shaft at the tine locations.
● Place the inside tine on the tine shaft and reinstall the
clevis pin and hairpin.
● When the tines are properly installed, the letter "R" will be
visible on the outside of the right-hand tine (the letter "L"
on the left-hand tine). The letter should appear opposite
the small hole in the side of the tine.
● Place the outside tine on the tine shaft and reinstall
the clevis pin and hairpin cotter.
● The outside tine cutting tips will all bend in toward
the inside tine. The letter "R" on the right side or "L"
on the left side should be visible from the outside of the
unit.
● Repeat steps on the opposite side of the unit.
● Check to make sure the tines are installed on correct side
of the unit (See FIG. 2-SERV.&ADJ).
