SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Figure 29
Cotter Pin
Clevis Pin
TineS
The tines will wear with use and should be inspected at the beginning
of each tilling season and after every 30 operating hours. The tines
can be replaced. Refer to the Parts List section of this manual for part
numbers.
Tine inspection
With use, the tines will become shorter, narrower and pointed. Badly
worn tines will result in a loss of tilling depth, and reduced effective-
ness when chopping up and turning under organic matter.
removing/installing a Tine assembly
1. A tine assembly consists of a left hand tine and a right hand tine.
NOTE
: The sharp edges of the tines are positioned to enter the soil
first when rotating. Note this position of the tines for reinstallation of the
new tine assemblies.
2. To remove a tine assembly, simply remove the cotter pin securing
the clevis pin for each tine. See Figure 29.
3. Remove the clevis pin for each tine, and slide the assembly to the
outside of the unit and off of the tine shaft.
4. Before reinstalling the tine assembly, inspect the tine shaft for
rust, rough spots or burrs. Lightly file or sand, as needed. Apply a
thin coat of grease to the shaft.
5. Install each tine of the assembly so that the cutting (sharp) edge
of the tines will enter the soil first when the tiller moves forward.
