ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLING THE UNIT
Before operating, position the unit's handlebars.
NOTE: You may also need to reposition the wheel
height before using the cultivator. Refer to the
Adjusting Tine Depth section.
Begin by carefully unpacking the contents and making sure
that nothing is damaged.
POSITIONING THE HANDLEBARS
1. Loosen the two knobs on the inside of the handlebars
(Fig. 1).
2. With the unit upright, swing the handlebars up into the
operating position (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Take care not to pinch the throttle cable or
switch wires when positioning the handlebar.
3. Tighten the knobs to secure the handlebars in place.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the knobs.
4. Readjust the throttle cable and switch the wires so they
are smooth and tight against the handlebar assembly.
This will help prevent them from catching or snagging
during normal operation.

them through either the top or bottom holes in the
handlebar assembly (Fig. 2) in order to adjust the height
of the handlebars.
