INSTALLING THE HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 2.
Position the upper handle so that the cable runs along
the inside of the handle assembly.
Slide the upper handle into the lower handle.
NOTE:
The upper handle should fit inside the grooves in
the lower handle.
Align the holes in the lower handle with the holes in the
upper handle, and secure using bolts and nuts. Tighten
securely.
INSTALLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 3.
Wheels are provided to assist in moving the unit to and from
the work area.
To install:
Remove end caps from wheels and set aside.
Tip the tiller up so that it is resting on the bull bar and tine
shield.
Slide a wheel onto the axle.
Thread the lock nut onto the axle until it touches the
wheel. Tighten until bottomed out.
Push the end cap into the center of the wheel until it snaps
into place.
Repeat with the second wheel.
INSTALLING THE TINES
See Figures 4 - 5.
With user facing the front of the tiller, the left outer tine
assembly is marked “A”. The left inner tine assembly is
marked “B”. The right inner tine is marked “C” and the right
outer tine is marked “D”. For correct operation of the unit,
the tines must be installed in the correct position.
Remove the protective caps from tines.
Insert shear pins through the holes in the tine shaft closest
to the gear box. Secure with cotter pins.
Place the inner tine assemblies marked “B” and “C” on
the tine shaft as shown.
Align the notches of the inner tine assemblies with the
heads of the shear pins.
NOTE:
You may have to rotate the tine assemblies until
the holes in the assemblies are aligned with the holes in
the tine shaft. If the holes do not align, the tine assemblies
may be installed on the wrong sides. Reverse the position
of the tine assemblies and check for hole alignment. When
installed correctly, the “C” on the right inner tine assembly
should be closer to the gear box than the “B” on the left
inner tine assembly.
Insert shear pins through the holes in the inner tine
assemblies and the shaft. Secure with cotter pins.
Place the outer tine marked “D” on the right side of the
tine shaft and the outer tine marked “A” on the left side
of the shaft.
Rotate the outer tines until the holes in the tines are
aligned with the holes in the tine shaft.
Insert shear pins through the holes in the outer tine
assemblies and the shaft. Secure with cotter pins.
INSTALLING THE DRAG STAKE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6.
Insert the drag stake into the drag stake bracket between
the lower shoulder bolts. The angled cut of the drag stake
should be facing the user. Align the holes in the drag stake
with the hole in the drag stake bracket.
Insert the lock pin to secure the drag stake.
Flip the wire lock over the pin.
NOTE:
Lower the drag stake so that it sticks into
the ground when tilling. Raise the drag stake when
transporting.
