Before performing this check, you must first shut off the Engine; wait five (5) minutes to allow parts to cool and disconnect the
Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.
Tine Operation Check
1. Pull the Tine Clutch Lever Forward to disengage the Tines and raise them up off the ground using the Lift Handle.
2. Rotate one set of Tines with your hand as you inspect them for damage. Repeat this step for the other set of Tines.
3. Replace the Spark Plug wire.
Tine Shear Bolts
• The DR TOW-BEHIND ROTOTILLER drive components are protected from
damage by Shear Bolts in the Tine Assemblies (Figure 22). The Shear Bolts
hold the Tine Assemblies in proper location on the Drive Axles. Should a
Tine Assembly strike or pick up a large hidden object and jam, the Shear Bolt
holding the Tine Assembly to the drive shaft will shear or break, protecting
the drive components of the DR TOW-BEHIND ROTOTILLER from major
damage.
• Two (2) extra Tine Shear Bolts with Lock Washers are included with the DR
TOW-BEHIND ROTOTILLER. They are located in the Tiller Stake Support
Bracket on the rear of the Tiller.
• The design of the Tine Shear Bolt is to loosely fit when properly installed.
