Tine Removal and Installation
To Remove Tines
1. Remove the cotter pins from each end of the tine shaft.
2. Slide the four tines off the shaft.
To Install Tines
1. First slide the inside tines onto each end of the tine
shaft. One inside tine is stamped with a “B” and the other is
stamped with a “C”.
2. Slide the outside tine “A” and tine “D” onto each end of
the shaft next. The tines should be installed in the correct
order so that they are positioned left to right A, B, C, D, as
viewed from the user’s position on the mini cultivator. Make
sure that the hub collars on both the right and left pairs of
tines face each other so that there is adequate spacing
between the tine blades. See Figure 3.
3. Insert the cotter pins into the holes at each end of the
tine shaft to lock the tines into place.

Adjusting Wheels and Drag Stake
The wheels on the mini cultivator can be adjusted to one of
three positions. The lowest wheel position is used for
transporting the mini cultivator across a smooth level
surface while the engine is not running. The two higher
positions are used when cultivating in soil and help stabilize
the unit when cultivating at different depths. See Figure 6.
To adjust wheels up or down, see Figures 4 and 5.
1. Pull the locking metal sleeve against the spring until it
releases from one of the three holes in the vertical guide.
2. Slide the wheel set up or down to the desired position,
and release the locking metal sleeve until it locks into one
of the three holes in the vertical guide.
Figure 3 (Frontal View)
The drag stake is used to help regulate cultivating depth
and control the mini cultivator from leaping forward during
operation. Resistance to forward motion is greatest when
the drag stake is set in its lowest position allowing for
deeper cultivation.
To adjust the drag stake, see Figure 4.
1. Pull the pin out of the drag stake mount hole.
2. Position the drag stake so the pointed tip is directed
downward.
3. Insert the pin into the hole that achieves desired depth.
