m

WARNING!

make sure the switch is in the OFF (O) position, the unit is 

unplugged, and the tines have come to a complete stop before 

inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the unit.

m

WARNING!

 The product must be fully assembled 

before operation. Do not use a product that is only partially 

assembled or assembled with damaged parts.

the pictures provided as a visual guide to easily assemble  

the product.

Connecting the Handles

NOTE: Reference to right or left side of the tiller is determined 

from behind the unit in the operating position. The “Operator’s 

position” is defined as standing directly behind the tiller.

NOTE: Small parts can easily get lost during assembly or when 

making adjustments to the machine. To avoid this, secure all 

small parts that are removed from the box or machine and 

keep them accessible.

1.  Slide the right-hand grip and left-hand grip into the plastic 

cross plate by matching the holes in the back of the grips 

with the holes in the back of the cross plate (Figs. 1 – 3).

  NOTE: Use a phillips-head screwdriver. Aligning the holes 

may be difficult. We recommend fastening one hand grip 

at a time to the cross plate.
