TINE REPLACEMENT (See Figs. 24, 25 and 26)
CAUTION: Tines are sharp. Wear gloves
or other protection when han dling tines.
A badly worn tine causes your tiller 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
ma chine the tines should be checked for sharpness,
wear, and bending, particularly the tines which are
next to the transmission. If the gap between the tines
ex ceeds 3-1/2" they should be replaced or straight ened
as necessary.
•
New tines should be assembled as shown in Fig. 26.
Sharp ened tine edges will rotate rearward from above.

Questions and answers
Whatever the clutch cable is attached to isnt going back when you realize the handle. So tiller wants to keep going & can’t shift gears
A clutch cable issue on a Poulan Pro PPCRT17 tiller that prevents it from shifting gears could be due to improper tension adjustment. The cable clip screw securing the drive control cable may need to be loosened, and the cable should be slid forward for less tension or rearward for more tension until about 5/8 inch stretch is obtained while the drive control bar is engaged. After adjustment, the cable clip screw should be tightened securely.
