SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 24, 25 and 26)
A
CAUTION:
Tines
are
sharp.
Wear
gloves or other protection when han
dling tines.
A badly worn tine causes your iilier to work harder and dig
more shallow. Most important, 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 performance of this
machine the tines should be checked for sharpness,
wear, and bending, particularly thetines which are next
to the transmission. If the gap between the tines
exceeds 3-1/2 inches (9 cm), they should be replaced
or straightened as necessary.
New tines should be assembled as shown in Fig. 28.
Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from above.
