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 any loose parts that may be included
with unit (operator’s manual, oil, edger wheel,
and edger blade).
• 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
Before setting up your cultivator / edger, disconnect
the spark plug wire from the spark plug and ground to
a stud on the engine.
Setting Up Your Cultivator / Edger
• Loosen each wing nut enough to separate the
plastic connectors between the upper and lower
handle. Gently lift up and pull out 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 outer handle and
grooves must line up between connectors).
• If not already, tighten the cable tie on the right
side of handle.
