ASSEMBLY

  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.

 

NOTE:

  When installed correctly, the angled edge of the 

tine blades should face the ground.

  To secure the tines to the tine shaft, insert the hitch pin 

into the holes located on either side of the tine shaft.

NOTE:

  The  unit  will  not  operate  properly  if  the  tines  are 

installed incorrectly. If you notice a problem with the cultivat-

ing operation of the unit, check for proper tine positioning.

cAUTiON:

Wear heavy gloves when installing, removing, or adjust-

ing the tiller tines. With wear, the tiller tines may become 

sharper.

jOiNiNG ThE POWER hEAd TO ThE TiLLER 

ATTAchMENT

See Figure 3.

The tiller attachment connects to the power head by means 

of a coupler device.

WARNiNG: 

Never attach or adjust any attachment while power head 

is running. Failure to stop the engine may cause serious 

personal injury.

To install the attachment:

  Remove the hanger cap from the attachment. 

  Loosen the knob on the coupler of the power head shaft.

  Push in the button located on the shaft of the tiller attach-

ment.

  Align the button with the guide recess on the power head 

coupler and slide the two shafts together. Rotate attach-

ment shaft until button locks into the positioning hole.

  NOTE:

 If the button does not release completely in the 

positioning hole, the shaft is not locked into place. Slightly 

rotate from side to side until the button is locked into place.

  Tighten the knob securely.

WARNiNG:

Be  certain  the  knob  is  fully  tightened  before  operating 

equipment; check it periodically for tightness during use 

to avoid serious injury.

To remove:

  Stop the engine.

  Loosen the knob.

  Push in the button and twist the shafts to remove and 

separate ends.

ATTAchiNG ThE j-hANdLE

See Figure 4.

The J-handle included with the tiller attachment provides a 

barrier to assist the operator in maintaining a safe distance 

from the rotating tines. If the power head to which the tiller 

attachment will be mounted does not have such a handle, 

install the provided handle.

NOTE: 

Use of the provided J-handle is highly recommended. 

The J-handle is of heavy duty construction and designed to 

withstand the extra weight of tiller attachment on your power 

head. 
The extra weight from the tiller attachment may result in dam-

age to the standard handle on your power head.

  Hold the top and bottom clamp snugly in position on the 

shaft housing so that handle will be located to the opera-

tor’s left.

  Insert the end of the handle between the clamps.

  Align the bolt holes and push the long bolt through the 

handle side.

  Place short bolt through opposite side of clamp. Install flat 

washers, lock washers, and wing nut to hold the assembly 

in place.

  After  assembly  is  complete,  adjust  the  position  of  the 

handle for best balance and comfort.

  Tighten the long bolt first and then the short bolt.
