ASSEMBLY
Read these instructions in their entirety before you attempt to
assemble or operate your new equipment.
The Border Edger Attachment does not need to be installed until
you are ready to do edging projects (refer to instructions in this
Section).
To ensure safe and proper operation of your machine, all parts
and hardware you install or adjust must be tightened securely.
Use the correct tools to ensure proper tightness.
IMPORTANT: The correct mixture of unleaded automotive gaso-
line and two-cycle motor oil (a 24:1 ratio of gasoline to two-
cycle oil) must be added to the fuel tank before starting the
engine. See instructions in this Section.
