15073 BORDER-EDGER KIT INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL ACCESSORY)

The Border-Edger Kit is a useful tool for making clean cuts in

the lawn along the borders of gardens, flower beds, walkways,

and driveways for a well manicured look. To install the Border-

Edger Kit, do the following:

INSTALLATION

1. Make sure the cultivator is not running by flipping the ON/

OFF switch to the OFF position.

2. Remove the hairpins from both sides of the tine shaft.

3. Remove the cultivating tines from the shaft, remembering

which direction they are facing.

4. Put the tines in a safe place and save the (2) hairpins, they will

be used on the Border-Edger Kit.

5. Slide the border-edger tine onto either side of the tine

shaft. Make sure that the hub collar of the border-edger tine

faces outward, away from the transmission of the cultivator.

SEE FIGURE 9

6. Take the (2) hairpins saved in Step 4 and insert them through

the inner and outer holes in the tine shaft on each side of the

border-edger tine to secure the tine blade in place on the

shaft. SEE FIGURE 9

7. Slide the border-edger wheel onto the opposite side of the

tine shaft as far as it will go.

8. Insert the remaining (1) hairpin, that came with the kit,

through the inner hole next to the wheel in the middle of the

tine shaft. SEE FIGURE 9

9. Before using the Border-Edger Kit, remove the drag stake from

the unit.
