Assembly
Assembling the Tines
for Tilling
1. Remove the cardboard from
around your Tiller's base.
2. Slide the tines onto the axle
shafts. The "D" hole goes on the
outside. (Picture 1)
3. Make sure you've installed the
tines properly for tilling. Liken
the tines to your fingers. When
your palm faces the ground, your
fingers curl down. Stand behind
the Tiller and hold your hand next
to the tines. Do the tine blades
curl down, as your fingers do? If
so, they are in the tilling position.
(To switch to the cultivating
position, see page 14.)
