STEP 4: To Make Borders and Edges,

Install the Edger Attachment

To create 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 Page 6).

To Install the Edger Attachment:

WARNING

Contact with rotating tines or other moving parts can cause serious personal injury.

Before installing or removing attachments, or adjusting or servicing the machine, stop the engine, let all moving parts come to a complete stop, disconnect the spark plug wire and move the wire away from the spark plug.

•Collect the following parts (see Figure 4): (A) Border/Edger Tine; (B) Long Bushing; (C) Border/Edger Wheel; and (D) Short Bushing.

•Prop the machine carefully on the front of the tubular carrying handle. The work surface should be firm and flat. NOTE: Usually the Border/Edger Tine is mounted on the right-side of the unit for right-handed persons, and on the left-side of the unit for left-handed persons.

•Flip open the ring on the two ring lock pins (E, Figures 3 and 4) and remove the ring lock pin on each tine shaft. IMPORTANT: The ring lock pin is under spring tension – wear gloves to protect your fingers when removing or replacing the ring lock pin.

•It is important for proper tilling performance that the tine sections be later reinstalled in their original positions. There- fore, mark the position of each tine section (Left-Outer, Left-In- ner, etc.) before removing them. Refer to Figures 3 and 12 for tine position information.

•Install the short bushing (D, Figure 4) on the right-hand or left-hand tine shaft. Then place the Border/Edger wheel (C) on 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 4).

•Slide the long bushing (B) on the opposite side shaft. Then install the Border/Edger tine (A) and secure it with the ring lock pin. See the Operation Section for information and full instructions on using the Border/Edger Attachment.
