TINE
SHAFT
MAINTENANCE
After every 10 operating hours,
remove the left- and right-side
Bolo Tine holders and clear away
dirt and debris that have accumu-
lated on the tine shaft or inside the
tine holders. Please follow this
maintenance recommendation,
as
debris can cause premature wear to
the tine shaft and its oil seals.
Refer to the previous tine holder
removal instructions (see previous
page). After cleaning away any
debris and removing old grease
from the tine shaft, apply fresh
grease to the tine shaft.
TIRE
AND

MAINTENANCE
Check tire air pressure every 30
operating hours. The recom-
mended pressure for tilling
is
10-
to-20 psi (pounds per square inch).
Both tires should be inflated
equally. (Unequal pressure can
cause the tiller to pull to one side.)

often than your engine manufac-

ever your tiller may be operating in
dirty or very dusty conditions.

turer's literature for specific oil
changing procedures, quantity
of
oil, and particular grade and vis-
cosity
of
oil to use in your engine.
Locations to check the oil level
and to drain the oil are shown at
