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:
1. Flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the hairpins (46134) from both sides of the tine shaft
(4651). SEE FIGURE 11
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 hairpins (4652), they
will be used on the Border-Edger Kit.
5. Slide the Border-Edger Tine (46130) on 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 MC440.
6. Put (1) hairpin, flat side facing edger attachment, through the
shaft hole that is further down the shaft from the hole where
the cultivating tines were placed.
7. Slide the Border-Edger Wheel (46131) on the opposite tine
shaft.
8. Insert the remaining hairpin, flat side facing wheel, through
the hole next to the wheel at the end of the tine shaft.
9. Before using the Border-Edger Kit, remove the drag stake from
the unit.
10. Set the cultivator wheels to the HIGHEST position.

BE AWARE THAT THE CULTIVATOR COULD UNEXPECT-
EDLY BOUNCE UPWARD, OR JUMP FORWARD IF THE
