Should this occur, remove the
looseness as follows:
- For rust appearing on painted surfaces, sand
lightly and paint affected area with enamel.
- Periodically remove debris that
builds up between Tines.
- Apply lubricating oil at each tine bearing and axle
bearing before use.
- Tines are manufactured with galvanized steel to resist
wear of abrasive soil. Striking objects can cause Tines
to curl or break. Contact Brinly-Hardy customer service
department to purchase replacement Tines.
- Apply a light coat of oil on tines
after use to prevent rust.
