CAUTION:
Tines are sharp.
Wear
i
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
ood tines. A tine this worn needs to be replaced.
NEWTINE
WORN TINE
FIG. 22
To maintain the superb tilling performance of this
machine 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
exceeds 3-1/2 inches (9 cm), they should be replaced
or straightened as necessary.
New tines should be assembled as shown in Fig.
26. Sharpened tine edges will rotate rearward from
above.
