In order for the tiller to perform optimally, make sure the tiller blades are in good working condition and their
bolts and nuts tight. Always replace the blades with the bolt head against the blade and the washer and nut
on the flange side to help prevent the blades from loosening.
When several blades are to be replaced, replace them one blade at a time in order maintain the scroll pattern
on the rotor.
NOTE: To determine Left or Right Blades, hold the blade by the bolt hole and the cutting edge facing
downward. If the blades curves to the left it is a left hand blade, curving to the right indicates a right hand
blade.
