Snapper R8000 User Manual

TINE ROTATION SELECTION
As received, the R8000 is set-up for reverse rotation
which is best for breaking sod or new ground and for
tiiiing deep, in this mode, the tines rotate in the
reverse direction of the driving wheels. The direction
of tine rotation is easily changed to forward mode
for cultivating and seed bed preparation.
When in forward mode for cultivating between rows,
the tines do not have to be switched from side to
side, however, the Tiller will thus break previously
tilled soil to a depth of on ly 1 or 2 inches. To dig un¬
filled soil or to till deeper for seed bed preparation,
switch the tines from right to left side.
CHANGE TINE ROTATION with engine off as
follows: Remove the wing-nut and washer on the
front stud of the belt cover, pull the cover outward
over this stud then swing the cover rearward and out
of the way over the belt pulley. With the clutch con¬
trol released, there is sufficient slack to slip the belt
off the pulley for changing the arrangement as
shown in figure 8. In the original reverse rotation
mode, the tight strand of the belt is between pulleys
indentified A and C in the illustration while in for¬
ward mode, the tight strand is between pulleys
C,B&A. After changing, swing the belt cover into
position and secure with the washer and wingnut.
NOTE; Extreme care must be taken to avoid double
twisting the belt.
