ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLING THE UNIT
Before operating, position the unit’s handlebars.
NOTE: You may also need to reposition the roller height
before using the cultivator. Refer to the Adjusting
Tine Depth section.
Begin by carefully unpacking the contents and making
sure that nothing is damaged.
POSITIONING THE HANDLEBARS
1. Loosen the two knobs on the inside of the
handlebars (Fig. 1).
2. With the unit upright, swing the handlebars up into
the operating position (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Take care not to pinch the throttle cable or
switch wires when positioning the handlebar.
3. Tighten the knobs to secure the handlebars in place
(Fig. 2).
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the knobs.
4. Readjust the throttle cable and switch the wires so
they are smooth and tight against the handlebar
assembly. This will help prevent them from catching
or snagging during normal operation.
