See the separate Engine Operator's Manual for
information and functions of the engine controls.
Clutch Lever
The clutch lever is located upper right hand arm of
the handle. Squeezing the lever against the handle
engages the tine drive. Release the lever to stop the
tines.
Depth Stake
The depth stake acts as a brake for the tiller and
controls the depth and speed at which the machine
will operate.
Tines
The tines are used to cultivate, furrow and prepare
your garden for seeding.
Handle Adjustment Crank
The handle height may be adjusted. Loosen the
crank to change the position. Tighten the crank when
the desired height is achieved.
Operation
Starting & Stopping the Engine
WARNING! Read, understand, and follow
all the instructions and warnings posted on
the machine and in this manual before
operating.

or being started.
1.
Make sure that the tine clutch control is
disengaged and refer to the Engine Operator's
Manual for engine starting and stopping
instructions.
Setting Depth - Wheels Forward
Place the wheels so that they are forward (nearest to
tines) for shallow tilling, cultivating and transport.
See Figure 4-2.

Setting Depth - Wheels Back
Place the wheels so that they are toward the rear
(closest to depth stake) for deep tilling and cultivating.
See Figure 4-3.

Setting Depth - Depth Stake
The depth stake acts as a brake for the tiller and
controls the depth and speed at which the machine
will operate. Remove the clevis pin and cotter pin to
raise or lower depth stake and adjust the tilling depth.
See Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4
Handle Pressure
Further control of the tilling depth and travel speed
can be obtained by variation of pressure on the
handles.
A downward pressure on the handles will reduce
the working depth and increase the forward speed.
An upward pressure on the handles will increase the
working depth and reduce the forward speed.
The type of soil and working conditions will
determine the actual setting of the depth stake and
the handle pressure required.
Transporting & Storing the Tiller
To transport and store the tiller move the throttle to
the stop position. Pivot the depth stake away from
ground up between wheels. See Figure 4-4.
