NOTE: The unit will not operate properly if the tines are
installed incorrectly. If you notice a problem with the cultivat-
ing operation of the unit, check for proper tine positioning.
CAUTION:
Wear heavy gloves when installing, removing, or adjusting
the cultivator tines. With wear, the cultivator tines may
become sharper.
JOINING THE POWER HEAD TO THE
CULTIVATOR ATTACHMENT
See Figure 3.
The cultivator attachment connects to the power head by
means of a coupler device.
WARNING:
Never attach or adjust any attachment while power head
is running. Failure to stop the engine or motor may cause
serious personal injury.
To install the attachment:
 Remove the spark plug wire or disconnect from the power
supply.
 Remove the hanger cap from the attachment.
 Loosen the knob on the coupler of the power head shaft.
 Push in the button located on the shaft of the cultivator
attachment.
 Align the button with the guide recess on the power head
coupler and slide the two shafts together. Rotate attach-
ment shaft until button locks into the positioning hole.
NOTE: If the button does not release completely in the
positioning hole, the shaft is not locked into place. Slightly
rotate from side to side until the button is locked into
place.
 Tighten the knob securely.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Be certain the knob is fully tightened before operating
equipment; check it periodically for tightness during use
to avoid serious injury.
To remove:
 Stop the engine or motor and remove the spark plug wire
or disconnect from the power supply.
 Loosen the knob.
 Push in the button and twist the shafts to remove and
separate ends.
ATTACHING THE J-HANDLE
See Figure 4.
The J-handle included with the cultivator attachment pro-
vides a barrier to assist the operator in maintaining a safe
distance from the rotating tines. If the power head to which
the cultivator attachment will be mounted does not have
such a handle, install handle provided.
 Place the bottom J-handle clamp on the drive shaft as
shown. Insert the tab on the top J-handle clamp into the
slot on the bottom J-handle clamp.
 Insert the end of the J-handle between the clamps so that
holes align and handle will be located to the operator's
left.
 Push the bolt through the clamp and handle.
 Install flat washer and wing nut to hold the assembly in
place.
 Adjust the position of the handle.
 Tighten the wing nut securely.
