Depth skid
The setting of the depth skid determines the working depth. The deeper the rod is set, the
deeper the machine will till the earth. The correct blade depth is the "key" to easy
cultivation. The setting varies according to soil conditions.
Cleaning after use
The cultivator should be cleaned after use. Use the garden hose to wash the earth and dirt
off. Remove quick grass, etc., from the blade shaft. The chassis identification number
should only be wiped over with a damp cloth, otherwise it could get damaged. Avoid using
a high-pressure cleaner.
Engine
