Operating Tips
•
Clean the area of trash, branches, and rocks
before tilling to prevent equipment damage.
•
Mow and remove tall grass and weeds before
tilling to minimize grass and weeds wrapping
around the rotor.
•
Always begin tilling with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase speed if conditions permit.
•
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed).
•
If the rotor stalls, slow down the travel speed or
decrease the rotor depth by raising the rotor
•
Do not till under wet conditions; soil stuck to the
rotor and teeth decreases performance.
•
You may need to make multiple passes when
working in sod or compacted soil.
•
Till in long, straight passes. Do not make turns
while the tiller is in the ground, as equipment
damage may result.
•
Avoid excessive tilling of the soil, as finely tilled
soil does not absorb moisture easily and puddles
of water may form.
•
When tilling hard packed, very dry, or virgin soil,
raise the tiller so only the very top of the soil is
penetrated. On succeeding passes the depth may
be lowered.
•
Run the tiller so that the dirt is thrown away from
you.
•
Wait for the tiller to stop before changing the
rotation direction.
•
If a rock or other obstruction gets into the tiller
tines, reverse the rotation direction to dislodge it.
