ADJUSTING TINE DEPTH

Tine adjustment will vary depending on the type of soil being cultivated and how it will be used. Generally, adjusting the tines to break the soil 4 to 6 inches is recommended for most gardens. Adjust the tines as follows:

1.Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.

2.Loosen (do not remove) the two wing nuts on the tine guard (Fig. 5).

3.Slide the roller bracket assembly down for shallower penetration, and up for deeper tine penetration.

4.Once the tines are in the desired position, tighten the wing nuts, making sure that the carriage bolts are seated properly through the bracket.

5.If the tine depth is incorrect, repeat steps 2 to 4.

6.Reconnect the spark plug wire and continue use.

ATTACHING THE EDGER WHEEL AND BLADE

To convert the mini-tiller cultivator to an edger, proceed as follows:

1.Push the On/Off switch to Off (O) position to stop engine and tines and disconnect spark plug to avoid accidental starting.

NOTE: It may be necessary to lay the mini-tiller back in a horizontal position on a flat level surface with the upper handle touching the ground.

2.Remove the click pin from each end of the tine shaft and slide the tines off the shaft.

3.Slide the edger wheel, with the hub facing inward, onto the right side of the tine shaft and secure with the click pin in the inside hole (Fig. 6).

4.Slide the edger blade with the hub facing out onto the left side of tine shaft and secure with the click pin in the inside hole (Fig. 6).

5.Guide the edger blade along a flowerbed, sidewalk, or driveway with the edger wheel along the outside edge. Use the edger guide line to line up edger blade.
