OPERATION
TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position
of the depth stake and wheel height.
The depth stake should always be below the wheels for
digging. It serves as a brake to slow the tiller’s forward
motion to enable the tines to penetrate the ground. Also,
the more the depth stake is lowered into the ground the
deeper the tines will dig.
DEPTH STAKE (See Fig. 6)
Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin clip and clevis
pin. Change depth stake to desired position. Replace the
clevis pin and hairpin clip.
• For normal tilling, set depth stake at the second or
third hole from the top.
WHEELS (See Fig. 6)
Adjust wheels by removing the hairpin clip and clevis pin.
Change wheel position. Replace the hairpin clip and
clevis pin.
• For normal tilling, set wheels at the second or third
hole from the top.

The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses
or eye shields before starting your tiller and while tilling. We recommend
a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.
