Tine Remove and Replace
NOTE: For ease of disassembly and assembly, block up the machine so that the Tines are off the ground.
Tine Removal:
1. Remove the Hitch Clip Pin from each end of Tine Shaft (Figure 13).
2. Slide the four (4) Tines off the Shaft.
Tine Installation:
1. Locate the inside Tines, they are stamped with a B and a C
(Figure 13). Slide the inside B Tine onto the Left Tine Shaft
(as viewed from Handlebars) and then slide the C Tine
onto the right Tine Shaft.
2. Locate the outside Tines, they are stamped A and D
(Figure 13). Slide the outside A Tine onto the Left Tine
Shaft and then slide the D Tine onto the right Tine Shaft.
NOTE: You should now have the Tines installed in the order A, B,
C, D from right to left as viewed from the Front of the Tiller
(Figure 13). Make sure that the Hub Collars on both the
right and left pair of Tines face each other to allow for
adequate spacing between the Tine Blades (Figure 13).
3. Replace the Hitch Clip Pins at each end of the Tine Shaft to
hold the Tines in place.
Battery Care
Proper care can extend the life of a Battery. Follow these recommendations for your Battery’s best performance and long life:
•
Before charging the Battery, observe its external appearance and keep it clean and dry. Never charge or use a Battery that
shows cracks, changes shape, leaks, or otherwise obviously damaged.
•
Do not allow the Battery to run down completely before charging. Leaving the Battery discharged damages the Battery. If
the machine is not used, charge the Battery every 4 to 6 weeks. Operate the Engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain
proper Battery charge.
•
Store an unused Battery in a dry area that does not freeze.
•
Do not charge an already charged Battery. In theory, you cannot overcharge our Battery with a trickle charger; however,
when a Battery is fully charged and the Charger is still on, it generates heat that could be harmful to the Battery. A fully
charged Battery will read 12V-13.2V with a voltmeter.
•
Do not continue to crank the Engine when the Battery charge is low.
•
If the Battery begins to leak, avoid contact with the leaking acid. Place the damaged Battery in a plastic bag, then dispose
of it properly. See “Recycling a Used Battery” on the next page.
NOTE: Using the recoil starter and then running the Engine will not recharge a dead or significantly discharged Battery.
If Battery acid does contact your skin or eyes, flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician. If you ingest
acid, call a physician immediately.
When the Battery gets old and no longer accepts a charge, remove it from your DR ROTO-HOG Mini Tiller. Never leave
a dead Battery in your machine.
