Operating Techniques
1.
The tilling width of the cultivator is approximately 165 mm (6.5 in.).
Place cultivator in area to be tilled, hold unit firmly with left hand on
front grip and right hand on rear grip and gradually engage throttle
trigger. Guide the cultivator allowing the tines to pull forward. The
soil hardness will control tilling speed.
2.
The cultivator attachment is capable of tilling in the forward or
reverse direction. For deep soil tilling, till forward then lightly pull
unit rearward allowing the tines to make a deeper cut into the soil.
Deep soil cultivating can also be enhanced by repositioning the
tines. (Refer to Tine Setting).
3.
To raise or aerate the soil, tilt engine closer to the ground which will
raise cultivator tines higher relative to the soil surface.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate cultivator underwater. The gear housing is not
sealed and water will wash away lubrication damaging gears,
bearings, and seals.
