INSTALLING AND USING
THEEDGERATTACHMENT
Contact with rotating tines or other
moving parts can cause serious per-
sonal injury.
Before installing or removing attach-
ments, or adjustingor servicingthe ma-
chine, stop the engine, let all moving
parts come to a complete stop, discon-
nect the spark plug wire and move the
wire away from the sparkplug.
Tocreate borders or edges near walks,
driveways, flower beds, etc., you must
remove the four tine sections and install
the Edger Attachment (this attachment
was supplied with the unit - see
Section 3).
Installing the Edger Attachment
1. Gathertogether the following parts:
Border/EdgerTine (A, Figure 10); Long
Bushing (B); Border/EdgerWheel (C); and
Short Bushing (D).
2. Prop the machine carefully onto the
front of the tubular carrying handle. The
work surface should be firm and flat.
NOTE:Typically,the Border/EdgerTine is
mounted on the right side of the unit for
right-handed people, and on the left-side
of the unit for left-handed people.
3. Flip open and remove the two ring lock
pins (E, Figures 9 and 10) on each tine
shaft.
Figure 9: Ring lockpin and tines.
Keep left and right-side tines separate and
marked for easier reinstallation.
IMPORTANT:The ring lock pin is under
spring tension - use care when removing
or replacing the ring lock pin.
4. It is important for proper tilling perfor-
mance that the tine sections be later rein-
stalled in their original positions. There-
fore, mark the position of eachtine section
(Left-Outer, Left-Inner,etc.) before re-
moving them. Refer to Figure 7 for tine
position information.
5. Install the short bushing (D, Figure 10)
onto the tine shaft. Then placethe
Border/Edgerwheel (C) onto the same
shaft - the wheel hub should face toward
the tiller. Insert the ring lock pin through
the rounded side of the tine shaft and
snap the ring down over the shaft (see
"DETAIL", Figure 10).
6. Slide the long bushing (B, Figure 10)
onto the opposite side shaft. Then install
the Border/Edgertine (A) and secure it
with the ring lock pin.
