Adjusting Engine Speed
NOTE: This cultivator is equipped with a centrifugal clutch, so the tines will not turn until the engine speed is increased .
To increase the engine speed, lift up on the throttle trigger . (See Figure 10) To slow the engine down, slowly release the
throttle trigger . Completely releasing the throttle lever will return the engine to idle and will stop the tines from rotating .
E
Stopping the Engine
1 . Release the throttle trigger and allow the engine to idle
for a few moments . (See Figure 10)

Adjusting the Drag Stake Position
The drag stake adds resistance when cultivating which
makes the unit easier to control . It also can be adjusted to
change the depth of cultivating . To adjust the drag stake
position, follow the steps below and refer to Figure 11:
1 . Remove the detent pin
2 . Slide the stake to the desired position, aligning the hole
in the stake with the holes in the support bracket
3 . Insert the detent pin through the holes to secure the
drag stake .
NOTE: For the deepest cultivating depth, set the drag stake in
its lowest position . This will give the greatest resistance and
allow for the deepest depth .
G
Adjusting the Wheel Height
1 . Loosen knob .
2 . Move the wheels up or down .
NOTE: The upper position is for cultivating, the lower position
is for transport
3 . Tighten knob securely after adjusting the wheels to the
desired height .
