INSTALLING THE TINES
See Figure 7.
The cultivator has four tines —two inner tines stamped B
and C, and two outer tines stamped A and D. For correct
operation of the unit, the tines must be installed in the cor-
rect orientation.
NOTE: The view of the gearbox for tine installation is from
the front of the cultivator.
Lean the unit back on its wheels so that the handlebar
rests on the ground.
Place tine C on the tine shaft to the left of the gear box.
The stamped side of the tine should face away from the
gear box.
Place tine B on the tine shaft to the right of the gear box.
The stamped side of the tine should face away from the
gear box.
Place a felt washer on each side of the tine shaft, and
slide to rest against the inner tines.
Place the outer tine stamped D on the left side of the tine
shaft. The stamped side should face in toward tine C.
Place the outer tine stamped A on the right side of the
tine shaft. The stamped side should face in toward
tine B.
NOTE: When installed correctly, the angled edge of the
tine blades should face the ground.
To secure the tines to the tine shaft, insert the hitch pin
into the holes located on either side of the tine shaft.
NOTE: The unit will not operate properly if the tines are
installed incorrectly. If you notice a problem with the cultivat-
ing operation of the unit, check for proper tine positioning.
