the inside of the handle assembly.
 Slide the upper handle into the lower handle.
NOTE: The upper handle should fit inside the grooves in
the lower handle.
 Align the holes in the lower handle with the holes in the
upper handle, and secure using bolts, washers and nuts.
Tighten securely.
INSTALLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 3.
Wheels are provided to assist in moving the unit to and from
the work area. To install:
 Remove end caps from wheels and set aside.
 Tip the tiller up so that it is resting on the bull bar and tine
shield.
 Slide a wheel onto the axle.
 Thread the lock nut onto the axle until it touches the
wheel. Tighten until bottomed out.
 Push the end cap into the center of the wheel until it snaps
into place.
 Repeat with the second wheel.
INSTALLING THE TINES
See Figures 4 - 5.
With user facing the front of the tiller, the left outer tine
assembly is marked "A". The left inner tine assembly is
marked "B". The right inner tine is marked "C" and the right
outer tine is marked "D". For correct operation of the unit,
the tines must be installed in the correct position.
 Remove the protective caps from tines.
 Place the inner tine assemblies on the tine shaft as shown.
 Rotate the tine assemblies until the holes in the assemblies
are aligned with the holes in the tine shaft.
NOTE: If the holes do not align, the tine assemblies may
be installed on the wrong sides. Reverse the position of
the tine assemblies and check for hole alignment. When
ASSEMBLY
installed correctly, the "C" on the right inner tine assembly
should be closer to the gear box than the "B" on the left
inner tine assembly.
 Insert shear pins through the holes in the tine assemblies
and the shaft. Secure with cotter pins.
 Place the outer tine marked "D" on the right side of the
tine shaft and the outer tine marked "A" on the left side
of the shaft.
 Rotate the outer tines until the holes in the tines are
aligned with the holes in the tine shaft.
 Install shear pins and secure the outer tines in place.
INSTALLING THE DRAG STAKE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6.
 Insert the drag stake into the drag stake bracket between
the lower shoulder bolts. The angled cut of the drag stake
should be facing the user. Align the holes in the drag stake
with the hole in the drag stake bracket.
 Insert the lock pin to secure the drag stake.
 Flip the wire lock over the pin.
NOTE: Lower the drag stake so that it sticks into the
ground when tilling. Raise the drag stake when transport-
ing.
CHANGING WHEEL POSITIONS
See Figures 6 - 8.
The wheel position of the unit is adjustable. Adjust the
position of the wheels by placing the tabs on the wheel
assembly into different sets of notches on the wheel adjust
bracket.
CAUTION:
The wheel assembly is spring loaded. Be careful to avoid
pinching your fingers or hands when adjusting the wheel
position.
 From the rear of the tiller, pull the axle outward and rotate
to the desired position.
 Release the axle so that the wheel assembly is secured
into the desired location.
NOTE: The spring loaded wheel assembly will snap
forward if released.
 Slowly bring the axle outward and seat the tabs on the
wheel assembly into a set of notches on the wheel adjust
bracket.
• Place the wheel assembly into the lowest set of
notches (position A) to transport the tiller.
• Place the wheel assembly into the top set of notches
(position B) to allow shallow penetration of the tine
blades into the cultivating surface.
