Fill Fuel Tank:
Engine must be cool. Clean area around fuel tank cap and
remove cap. Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank.
Slowly pour gasoline/oil mixture into fuel tank. Fill tank no
higher than 1/2" from top of tank to allow for gasoline expan-
sion. Install fuel cap and clean up any fuel spills.
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:
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.
