• Accidental starting of the engine could

seriously injure you or other bystanders.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Remove the key from the ignition switch

heads to the tine arms and remove the tine heads.

proper turf guards before using the

four-tine head. Refer to the Aerator

Installing Tine Heads with 16mm

Mounting Holes (Fig. 1)

If your tine heads have mounting holes that measure

16mm (Fig. 1), proceed with the following:

1. Loosely assembly the four tine head using (6)

M10 x 50mm capscrews and lock washers

(Fig. 1).

2. Slide the tines completely into the tine head

(Fig. 1) and torque the capscrews to 35–40 ft-lbs

(50–55 Nm). When installing the tines, use a

piece of wood or a metal plate to hold the tines

into place until the screws can be tightened. If

using open–sided tines, the opening should face

rearward.
