This unit is shipped without gasoline or oil
in the engine. Be certain to service engine with gasoline
and oil as instructed in the separate engine manual
before operating your mower.
NOTE: Reference to right or left hand side of the

Removing Unit From Carton
• Remove staples, break glue on top flaps, or cut
tape at carton end and peel along top flap to open
carton.
• Remove loose parts if included with unit (e.g.,
operator’s manual, safety glasses, etc.)
• Cut along corners, lay carton down flat, and remove
packing material.
• Roll or slide unit out of carton and check carton
thoroughly for loose parts.
Disconnecting Spark Plug Wire
Before setting up your cultivator, disconnect the spark
plug wire from the spark plug and ground to a stud on
the engine.
Setting Up Your Cultivator
• Loosen each wing nut enough to separate the
plastic connectors between the upper and lower
handle. Gently lift up and pull back on the upper
handle to raise the handle toward the operating
position. See Figure 1.
• Separate the connectors and position the bottom
tip of upper handle connector in front of the bottom
tip of lower handle connector.
• The lower handle connector has three marked lines
on the top and the upper handle connector has one
marked line.
• Position the connectors aligning the marked line on
the upper connector with the middle marked line on
the lower connector.
• To secure the upper and lower handle, tighten the
wing nuts and washers (carriage bolts must be
seated properly into the handle and grooves must
line up between connectors).
• Tighten the cable ties on the left side of handle.
