,_ WARNING: Shut off (disengage) the Tine
Clutch Lever, the Tiller Engine and the
Tractor Engine before making any repairs.
TINE CARE
For best results--Tine Blades should be kept reason-
ably sharp. The Tine Blade can be sharpened on a
grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen Tines
while they are mounted to Tiller.
SPARE TINE DRIVE BOLTS
The Tiller drive components are protected from
damage by (shearable) Grade 5 hex bolts in the Tine
Assemblies. The hex bolts drive the tines and hold
them in the proper location. Should the "FineAssem-
blies strike or pick up a large hidden object or
become jammed, the hex bolts will break and the
drive components wilt not be damaged.
Two extra tine hex bolts and nuts are included with
the tiller. They are located in the Tiller Stake Support
Bracket on the rear of the Tiller.
The tine hex bolts are designed to be loose fit. Do
not attempt to use a bolt or pin that is larger or
harder than the original Grade 5 hex bolts.
Immediately prepare your tiller for storage at the end of
the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or
more.
CAUTION: Never store the tiller with
gasoline in the tank inside a building,
where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
ENGINE
• Follow the instructions in the "Service & Storage"
section of the Engine Manual.
• Lubricate as instructed in the Customer Responsibili-
ties section of this manual.
• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, break-
age and wear. Replace if necessary.
• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
• If possible, store tiller indoors and cover it to protect
from dust and dirt.
• Cover tiller with a suitable protective cover that does
not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe, which allows condensation to form
and will cause your unit to rust.
TILLER
• Clean entire tiller (See "CLEANING" in the Customer
Responsibilities section of the manual).
• Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See belt
replacement instructions in the Service and Adjust-
ments section of this manual.
