TO OPERATE THE TILLER:

1.

Select the depth stake setting.

2.

Start engine as instructed on page 9.

3.

Move gear selection handle to one of the
forward modes or reverse. 

Use the reverse tine drive when tilling virgin
ground, sod or hard soil. Use the forward tine
drive when cultivating or tilling soft ground.

IMPORTANT: 

When using the forward tine

drive, lower the depth stake (use a shallower
tilling depth) to make certain the tines do not run
across the ground.

WARNING: 

Do not move the gear

selection handle with the wheels or
tines engaged. Make certain the unit is
stopped completely before changing
the gear selection.

4.

Squeeze the clutch control bail against the
handle to engage the wheels and tines.

NOTE: 

Make certain the gear selection indicator is

correctly positioned before engaging the clutch
handle. If it is between gears, the engine will stall.

To transport tiller, do not engage the tines. Select
the wheel drive only.

WARNING: 

Do not push down on the

handles so that the wheels are lifted off
the ground while using the reverse tine
drive, or the tiller could move backward
and cause personal injury.

For best results, it is recommended the garden be
tilled twice (lengthwise, then widthwise) to pulverize
the soil.

SECTION 9:  ADJUSTMENTS

HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

The handle height may be adjusted. Refer to the
Control section for details of handle adjustment.

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Periodic adjustment of the belt tension may be
required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt.
Adjustment is needed if the tines or wheels seem to
hesitate while turning, but the engine maintains the
same speed.
