Installation Steps
WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY:
• Before installing or removing
the attachment, shut the engine
off, allow it to cool, disconnect
the spark plug wire and prevent
it from touching the spark plug.
• Wear gloves when handling the
tines. They may be sharp.
1. Swing handlebars around so they
are positioned over the engine— in
the front tine cultivator mode position.
2. Remove the tine hood by taking
out the hair pin clip and the release
pin securing the front of the hood.
Tilt the hood back and off.
3. Remove screws and nuts securing
the four tine sets to the tine shaft
(see your Owner's Manual for spe-
cific tine removal instructions).
Slide the tine sets off.
4. Use medium grit sandpaper to
remove any burrs from the tine shaft.
Apply a thin coat of oil to the shaft.
NOTE: The border edger tine can be
installed on either side of the machine.
Usually it is on the left-hand side for
a left-handed person and on the right
hand side for a right-handed person.
Experiment to see which position
best suits your needs.
