Then move the swing-out bolts out. See Fig. 4-21.

NOTE: Loosening swing-out bolts can be difficult. Use an

extra-long wrench for leverage.

9.

Tip the PTO power machine forward about one inch with

one hand while pulling the tine attachment back. Fig. 4-22.

hole in the tine attachment See Fig. 4-23.

Installing the Tine Attachment

1.

Move the two PTO Power Unit swingout bolts outward and

slide the washers up against the bolt heads.

2.

Remove the support block from under the engine and

slowly roll the power unit back next to the tine attachment.

Place the support block back under the engine.

3.

Remove the dust cap (or protective wrapping) from the

dog clutch coupling on the tine attachment.

4.

Carefully align the guide pin on the PTO Power Unit with

the alignment hole in the tine attachment and bring the

two units together. See Fig. 4-23.

5.

Move the two swing-bolts into the slots of the tine

attachment. Alternately tighten each bolt until they are

tight enough to make the concave washers flat. The bolts

must be very tight — if you have a torque wrench, tighten

each bolt to between 70 and 80 ft.-lbs.
NOTE: The swing-bolts must be kept very tight to prevent

damaging wear to the dog clutch coupling, alignment pin

or the alignment hole. Check the bolt tightness every 2-1⁄2

operating hours.

6.

Remove the engine support before moving the tiller in a

forward direction.
