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 tiller. Use one hand, yet keep a light — but secure —
grip on the handlebar while keeping your arm loose.
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.
4.
To stop/disengage the drive/tines release the forward
clutch bail.
To move in reverse:
1.
Release the forward Clutch Bail. Then lift the handlebar
until the tines are off the ground.
2.
Pull back on the Reverse Lever, and walk backwards with
the machine
NOTE: In reverse mode, the tines will reverse rotation.
3.
If longer distances need to be covered in reverse, shut off
the engine, then place the two wheels in FREEWHEEL.
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.
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.
Setting The Depth
Tilling depth is controlled by the depth stake which can be
adjusted to five different settings. Adjust the side shields as you
adjust the depth stake.
WARNING:
disconnected and grounded against the engine
when performing any adjustments.
•
When using the tiller for the first time, use the second
adjustment hole from the top (1" of tilling depth).
•
When breaking up sod and for shallow cultivation, use the
setting which gives 1" of tilling depth (second hole from
the top). Place the side shields in their lowest position.
•
For further depth, raise the depth stake and side shields
and also make one or two more passes over the area.
•
When tilling loose soil, the depth stake may be raised to its
highest position (use bottom adjustment hole) to give the
deepest tilling depth. Raise the side shields to the highest
position.
•
To transport tiller, lower the depth stake (use top
adjustment hole).

To adjust the depth stake, pull back on the depth adjustment
bracket (A) and push up or down (B) until the bracket reaches the
desired position, see Fig. 5-1, then release the bracket (C).
To adjust the side shields (if so equipped), remove the wing nuts.
Move the side shield to the desired position and replace the wing
nuts. Tighten securely. See Fig. 5-2.

Adjusting the Handle Height
The handle should be adjusted so that when the tiller is digging
3-4" into the soil, the handle falls to about waste-high. To adjust
the handle, simply loosen the handle adjustment crank, move
the handle to the desired height and retighten the adjustment
crank. See Fig. 5-3.
