TO ENgAgE DRIVE & TINES
WARNINg
Do not push down on the handlebars to try to make the tiller till more
deeply. This takes weight off the wheels, which allow the tines to
rapidly propel the tiller, which could result in loss of control, property
damage, or personal injury.
1.
Place the Shift Lever in the desired forward tilling position and press
the Clutch Lever down against the handle to begin tilling.
2.
When tilling, let the wheels pull the machine while the tines dig.
Walk slowly behind the tiller allowing it to move at its own pace while
keeping a secure grip on the handlebar with your elbows flexed.
3.
Release the Clutch Lever to stop the wheels and tines.
To move in reverse: (Do not till in reverse)
a.
Release the Clutch Lever. Then lift the handlebar until the
tines are off the ground.
b.
Place the Shift Lever in the reverse position and then press
the Clutch Lever down against the handlebar and walk
backwards with the machine.
NOTE: In reverse mode, the tines will not rotate.
TURNINg THE TILLER

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.
Using the Swing Lever
The tiller handle can be swivelled in either direction. The Swing Lever
enables the tiller to be guided sideways to the next row. See Figure X.
1.
Pull up on the Swing Lever to release the handle.
2.
Swivel the handle into the desired position.
3.
Release the Swing Lever to secure the handle in place.
SETTINg THE DEPTH
Be certain spark plug wire is disconnected and grounded against the
engine when performing any adjustments.
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.
•
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 their highest position.
•
To transport tiller, lower the depth stake (use top adjustment hole).
To adjust the depth stake, remove the clevis pin and cotter pin. Move
the depth stake to the desired setting and secure with the clevis pin
and cotter pin. See Figure 14.
