[. . . ] Bolo Tine Kit OEM-290-252 / 290-252-081 for BRONCOTM, SUPER BRONCOTM, and TUFFY® Tillers Installation Instructions THANK YOU! Thanks for buying new bolo tines. [. . . ] Tine Inspection: With use, the tines installed at the factory will become shorter, narrower and pointed. Badly worn tines will result in a loss of tilling depth, and reduced effectiveness when chopping up and turning under organic matter. With the engine shut off and the spark plug wire disconnected, carefully tilt the tiller forward until the engine is resting on the ground. (On some models it may be necessary to prop up the rear of the tiller or to add additional weight to the engine to stabilize the tiller in this position. ) 2. Raise the tiller hood flap and secure it out of the way with a heavy rubber band or string. NOTE: Removing the tine holders from the tine shaft may ease the installation of your new bolo tines, but is not necessarty. To do so, remove the screw and nut which secure the tine holder to the tine shaft, refer to Figure 2. NOTE: Replace the inner tines (both left-hand & right-hand) before proceeding to the outer tines.
