REMOVING AND REPLACING TINES
Cultivator tines are subject to wear and should be replaced if
any signs of damage are present. Tines should also be
removed and cleaned after each use.
Tine Removal and Replacement
1. Make sure the unit is off.
NOTE: It may be necessary to lay the cultivator back in a
horizontal position on a flat level surface with the
upper handle touching the ground. It may also be
necessary to wash any dirt off the tines and shaft for
ease of removal.
2. Remove the click pin from each end of the tine shaft. Slide
the tines off of the shaft (Fig. 9).
3. Clean and oil the shaft.
