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

 or 

STOP 

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 11

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 11

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 11

NOTE: A drag stake should not be used when using the 

edger kit.

 CAUTION

BE AWARE THAT THE CULTIVATOR COULD 

UNEXPECTEDLY BOUNCE UPWARD, OR JUMP
