4. Do not mix fuel directly in engine fuel

Always use a clean, safety-ap-
proved fuel container.
To Mix:
A. Fill a clean, approved container one
quarter full with recommended
gasoline.
B. Add recommended amount of oil per
Chart 1: FUEL MIXTURE.
C. Screw cap on container and shake
vigorously. Then unscrew cap and
fill container with gasoline per
Chart 1: FUEL MIXTURE. Screw on
cap and shake again. Once mixed,
oil and gasoline will not separate.
Fill Fuel Tank:
1. Engine must be cool. Clean area
around fuel tank cap and remove cap.
Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank.
2. Slowly pour gasoline/oil mixture into
fuel tank. Fill tank no higher than 1/2"
from top of tank to allow for gasoline ex-
pansion. 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 5).
To Install the Edger Attachment:
1. Gather together the following parts
(see Figure 4): (A) Border/Edger Tine; (B)
Long Bushing; (C) Border/Edger Wheel
and (D) Short Bushing.
2. 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.
3. Remove the hitch pin on each tine
shaft (E, Figures 3 and 4).
4. It is important for proper tilling perfor-
mance that the tine sections be later rein-
stalled in their original patterns. Mark the
position of each tine section (Left-Outer,
Left-Inner, etc.) before removing them.
Refer to Figures 3 and 9 for tine pattern
information. See also
Tine Removal and
Installation
in Section 5.
5. 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 hitch pin
through the rounded side of the tine
shaft.
6. Slide the long bushing (B) on the op-
posite side shaft. Then install the
Border/Edger tine (A) and secure it with
the hitch pin.
See Section 4 for instructions on using
the Border/Edger Attachment.
See
Tine Removal and Installation in Sec-
tion 5 for information on how to reinstall
the tines.
Section 2: Assembly
Contact with rotating tines or other
moving parts can cause serious per-
sonal injury.
Before installing or removing attach-
ments, or adjusting or servicing the ma-
chine, stop the engine, let all moving
parts come to a complete stop, discon-
nect the spark plug wire and move the
wire away from the spark plug.
WARNING
Figure 4: The Border/Edger tine (A) can be mounted on left or right
sides of machine (with long bushing B). The Border/Edger wheel
(C) mounts on the other side (with short bushing D).
