To Engage Drive & Tines
1. For forward motion of the wheels and power to the tines
pull the Forward Clutch Bail up against the handlebar.
Release the bail to stop the forward motion of wheels and
tines.
2. When tilling, relax and let the wheels pull the machine
while the tines dig. Walk behind and a little to one side of
the the tiller. Use one hand, yet keep a light — but secure
— grip on the handlebar while keeping your arm loose.
See Fig. 5-1.
3. Let the tiller move at its own pace and do not push down
on the handlebars to try and force the tines to dig deeper
— this takes weight off the wheels and reduces traction.
WARNING!
to try to make the tiller till more deeply. This
prevents the wheels from holding the tiller back and
can allow the tines to rapidly propel the tiller
forward, which could result in loss of control,
property damage, or personal injury.
1. To move in reverse:
a. Release the forward Clutch Bail. Then lift the
handlebar until the tines are off the ground.
b. Swing the handlebar to the left so the right wheel
takes a "step" backward. Next swing the handlebar
to the right so the left wheel "steps" backward.
Repeat as needed.
c. If longer distances need to be covered in reverse,
shut off the engine, then place the two wheels in
FREEWHEEL.

Do not push down on the handlebars
Turning the Tiller
1. Practice turning the tiller in a level, open area. Be very
careful to keep your feet and legs away from the tines.
2. To begin a turn, lift the handlebars until the tines are out of
the ground and the engine and tines are balanced over the
wheels. See Fig. 5-2.
Figure 5-
3. With the tiller balanced, push sideways on the handlebar
to steer in the direction of the turn. After turning, slowly
lower the tines into the soil to resume tilling. See Fig. 5-3.
