Tilling In Rocky Soil
If you are tilling in stony or rocky soil, and
experience continual rock jams between tines, set
the tiller tines in the rocky soil pattern to help
alleviate the problem.
1. Stop the engine (see page 13).
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire (see page 22).
3. Tip the tiller forward on the carrying handle as
shown.
4. Remove the lock pins from the left and right
tine shafts by turning them UP [a] and pulling
them OUT [b].
5. Clean the tine shafts.
6. Wearing heavy gloves, remove the tines. Note
that the tine sets are stamped “A”, “B”, “C”, and
“D” just inside the raised inner area of the tine set.
7. Reinstall the tine sets in the rocky soil pattern
shown. When reinstalling the tines, make sure
the tine shaft and tine hubs are clean and free
of foreign material. The tines should easily slide
onto the shaft. Do not force the tines onto the
shaft.
8. Install the lock pins throught the round side of
the tine shaft hole [a], then turn it over [b] to
lock it it in place.
In the rocky soil tine pattern, the center gap is
wider than in the regular tine pattern. This will
require additional passes to till this untilled area.
When the tines are properly mounted, the
angled portions of the tine blade should enter
the soil first, not the straight portions.
