INSTALLING THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY
ACCESSORY
See Figures 3 - 4.
Use the wheel assembly accessory to transport the unit to
and from the work area. To install:

Raise the adjustment knob located at the back of the tine
shield. Twist slightly to secure in the raised position.
 Insert the wheel assembly support rod into the opening
beneath the adjustment knob. To place the wheels in a
high position, insert the rod to the first hole. For a lower
wheel position, insert the rod to the second hole.
 Rotate the adjustment knob in the opposite direction
to return it to the seated position, which will secure the
wheel assembly in place.
 Insert the drag bar into the open slot in the wheel as-
sembly support rod.
 Insert pull pin through holes in support rod, passing
through desired hole in drag bar, to secure drag bar at
desired height.
INSTALLING THE TINES
See Figure 5.
The cultivator has four tines —two inner tines labeled B and
C, and two outer tines labeled A and D. For correct opera-
tion of the unit, the tines must be installed in the correct
orientation.

Lean the unit back on its wheels so that the handlebar
rests on the ground.
 Place tine C on the tine shaft to the left of the gear box.
The stamped side of the tine should face away from the
gear box.
 Place tine B on the tine shaft to the right of the gear box.
The stamped side of the tine should face away from the
gear box.
 Place a felt washer on each side of the tine shaft, and
slide to rest against the inner tines.
 Place the outer tine labeled D on the left side of the tine
shaft. The stamped side should face in toward tine C.
 Place the outer tine labeled A on the right side of the tine
shaft. The stamped side should face in toward tine B.
