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.
