INSTALLING THE TINES
See Figure 2.
NOTE: Install the tines before the attachment is connected
to the power head.
The cultivator has four tines —two inner tines labeled B and C,
and two outer tines labeled A and D. For correct operation of
the unit, the tines must be installed in the correct orientation.
„ Place tine C on the tine shaft to the left of the gear box.
The stamped side of the tine should face away from the
gear box.
„ Place tine B on the tine shaft to the right of the gear box.
The stamped side of the tine should face away from the
gear box.
„ Place a felt washer on each side of the tine shaft, and
slide to rest against the inner tines.
„ Place the outer tine labeled D on the left side of the tine
shaft. The stamped side should face in toward tine C.
„ Place the outer tine labeled A on the right side of the tine
shaft. The stamped side should face in toward tine B.
NOTE: When installed correctly, the angled edge of the
tine blades should face the ground.
ASSEMBLY
„ To secure the tines to the tine shaft, insert the hitch pin
into the holes located on either side of the tine shaft.
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.
WARNING:
Be certain the knob is fully tightened before operating
equipment; check it periodically for tightness during use
to avoid serious injury.
