G. Handling Tips:
Adjust the handlebar height to a comfortable position (waist height for normal
intercultural/weeding
operation).
Should
the
machine
jerk
forward
while
intercultural/weeding operation. Press down the handlebars. If the machine does not
move forward, move the handlebars from side to side.
Turn:
The proper method of negotiating a turn during a intercultural/weeding operation
operation is to lower the handlebars to bring the gravity center towards the rear and then
make the turn, this will permit a turn to be made with relative ease.

Lower the handle slightly so that the
front of the machine is raised about 6-
8°
To get the maximum advantage from
the Intercultivator, try to hold the
machine at an angle shown while you
are intercultural/weeding operation
the ground.
