Dear Friend:
Thank you for purchasing
the Original ComposT
umbler. Properly assembled
and
operated, your new
tumbler can go on giving
you rich, healthy compost
for years.
And that in turn will
give you a healthier,
more beautiful and
productive lawn and
garden – naturally.
Your Original ComposT
umbler has been shipped
ready to be assembled.
All of the parts and
pieces
you will need are included–all
you supply are the pr
oper tools and the labor
.
This manual is designed
to help you through
the step-by-step assembly
process
and make it an easy
and painless operation.

easier with a second
pair of hands!
You will probably find
it easiest to assemble
your Original ComposT
umbler on or near the
place
where you intend to
use it. While the completed
assembly isn’t heavy,
it is somewhat bulky
and
awkward to move.
Work on a smooth
surface to prevent scratching
the paint on the drum.
Before you start:
Take the time to read
this manual completely
before you actually
start the assembly. That
way you
can avoid any surprises
halfway through the
job.
Check the "Tools You
Will Need" list belo
w and make sure you
have all of them handy
. Having the
proper tools can make
the assembly much
faster and easier.
Then, check over the
parts included and compar
e them against the par
ts list on Page 3.
Make sure you have
and can identify all
of the parts for both
the Frame and the T
umbler Drum
before you start.
