4. Do not mix fuel directly in engine fuel
tank. 
Always use a clean, safety-
approved fuel container.

• To Mix: 

A. Fill a clean, approved container one

quarter full with recommended gaso-
line.  

B. Add recommended amount of oil per

Chart 1: FUEL MIXTURE.

C. Screw cap on container and shake

vigorously.  Then unscrew cap and
fill container with gasoline per 
Chart 1: FUEL MIXTURE.  Screw on
cap and shake again.  Once mixed,
oil and gasoline will not separate.

Fill Fuel Tank:

1. Engine must be cool. Clean area
around fuel tank cap and remove cap.
Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank.

2. Slowly pour gasoline/oil mixture into
fuel tank.  Fill tank no higher than 1/2"
from top of tank to allow for gasoline
expansion.  Install fuel cap and clean up
any fuel spills.

STEP 4: To Make Borders and Edges, 
Install the Edger Attachment 

To create borders or edges near walks,
driveways, flower beds, etc., you must
remove the four tine sections and install
the Edger Attachment (this attachment
was supplied with the unit – see Page 5). 

To Install the Edger Attachment:

1. Gather together the following parts
(see Figure 4):  (A) Border/Edger Tine; (B)
Long Bushing; (C) Border/Edger Wheel
and (D) Short Bushing.
2. Prop the machine carefully on the front
of the tubular carrying handle.  The work
surface should be firm and flat.  NOTE:
Usually the Border/Edger Tine is mounted
on the right-side of the unit for right-
handed persons, and on the left-side of
the unit for left-handed persons.
3. Flip open the ring on the two ring lock
pins (E, Figures 3 and 4) and remove the
ring lock pin on each tine shaft. 
IMPORTANT:  The ring lock pin is under
spring tension – use care when removing
or replacing the ring lock pin.
4. It is important for proper tilling perfor-
mance that the tine sections be later rein-
stalled in their original positions.  Mark
the position of each tine section (Left-
Outer, Left-Inner, etc.) before removing
them.  Refer to Figures 3 and 9 for tine
position information.  See also Tine
Removal and Installation 
in Section 5.
5. Install the short bushing (D, Figure 4)
on the right-hand or left-hand tine shaft.
Then place the Border/Edger wheel (C) on

the same shaft – the wheel hub should
face toward the tiller.  Insert the ring lock
pin through the rounded side of the tine
shaft and snap the ring down over the
shaft (see DETAIL - Ring Lock Pin
Figure 4).
6. Slide the long bushing (B) on the
opposite side shaft.  Then install the
Border/Edger tine (A) and secure it with
the ring lock pin.  
See Section 4 for instructions on using
the Border/Edger Attachment.
See Tine Removal and Installation in Sec-
tion 5 for information on how to reinstall
the tines.

Section 2:  Assembly

Contact with rotating tines or other
moving parts can cause serious per-
sonal injury.

Before installing or removing attach-
ments, or adjusting or servicing the
machine, stop the engine, let all moving
parts come to a complete stop, discon-
nect the spark plug wire and move the
wire away from the spark plug.

WARNING

Figure 4: The Border/Edger tine (A) can be mounted on left or right
sides of machine (with long bushing B).  The  Border/Edger wheel
(C) mounts on the other side (with short bushing D).
