3. Install the aerator or cultivator on the trimmer’s
right by sliding the attachment’s axle over the shaft
of the transmission, rotating the attachment to
align the slot in the axle with the drive pin and
pushing the attachment axle toward the
transmission (
Figure 12 ).
Note: The right side attachments have a red cap and 2
semi-circular notches in the axle (see
Figure 6 on page 10).
There is a spring that you will compress as you push the
attachment onto the shaft until the drive pins bottom on
the slot in the attachment’s axle. This will require a fair
amount of force to overcome the spring tension.
4. When the attachment axle is inserted completely,
rotate the attachment clockwise until it reaches the
end of the J-slot (
Figure 13 ).
