OPERATION

CONTROLS
DRIVE SAFETY CONTROL LEVER
Engage tines into forward, releasing returns machine to neutral.
Pulling down on drive safety control lever engages the tines.
Releasing the drive safety control lever to a neutral position
disengages the tines.
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 1/2 hour
of operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to initial
stretch. Thereafter, check tension after every 2 hours of operation.
Proper tension is achieved when the spring compresses 1/4"
when drive lever is engaged.
To increase belt tension:
1. Loosen upper jam nut. SEE FIGURE 7
2. Tighten the lower jam nut in 1/8" increments, making sure not
to over adjust the tension.
3. Check adjustment by measuring spring compression when
drive lever is engaged. (Proper spring compression 1/4")
4. When proper adjustment is achieved, tighten upper jam nut.
This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts
are fully adjusted. If no more adjustment can be made, belt may
need to be replaced.
DRAG STAKE
Tilling depth is controlled by the height of the depth regulator lever.
SEE FIGURE 8
To adjust tilling depth.
1. Remove lock pin.
2. Raise the depth regulator lever to position tines at chosen
tilling depth. Lowering the depth regulator will allow for
deeper tilling.
3. Align hole in depth regulator lever with hole in depth
regulator bracket and replace lock pin.
NOTE: Raise depth regulator all the way when transporting
tiller. Lower the depth regulator all the way to maintain
control of the tiller in harder soil conditions.
