REPLACING THE TINES
See Figures 11 - 13.
With normal use, tines can wear or break over time. When
adjusting the tine depth no longer gives you the correct
amount of dethatching, or if a tine breaks, follow the steps
below to replace.
 Disconnect the dethatcher from the power supply.
 Turn dethatcher over to access the tine cylinder.
 Remove two screws, flat washers, lock washers, and
8 mm nuts securing the tine you wish to replace to the
cylinder.
 Using a flat blade screwdriver, press down on the lock-
ing tab to release the tine housing from the dethatching
cylinder.
 Secure the tine cartridge on a workbench, then press the
securing pin from one side of the housing to slide out.
This will release the tine so it can be replaced.
NOTE: Removing the pin may require the use of a rubber
mallet.
 Install new tine, being sure to orient in the same direction
as the old. Press securing pin back through tine housing
and new tine to secure.
 Reinstall tine housing on dethatcher cylinder, again being
careful to orient the tine in the same direction as the
others.
NOTE: Make sure the tine housing is fully seated and the
locking tab is secure in the opening on the tine housing.
 Reinstall screws, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts in
the order previously removed. Tighten securely.
