USING YOUR CULTIVATOR
WARNING:
Never pick up or carry the unit while
the engine is running. Serious personal injury
could result
1. Move the cultivator to the work area prior to starting the
motor. Transport the cultivator by pushing or pulling it
along on its wheels. Or you may choose to carry the
cultivator by its front handle.
2. Start the cultivator following all steps under STARTING
INSTRUCTIONS on the previous page.
3. With both hands on the upper handle, slowly pivot the
cultivator forward until the tines make contact with the soil.
WARNING:
Avoid risk of injury. Keep the
extension cord clear of the tilling path at all times.
Do not allow the tines to contact the extension cord
4. Once the tines are in the ground, cultivate at a moderate
pace until you are familiar with the controls and the
handling of the cultivator.
NOTE: Be aware of the extension cord's location at all times.
Never allow the cultivator's tines to come into contact with
the extension cord while operating.
5. To adjust the cultivating depth, adjust the wheel support
bracket. See Adjusting The Wheel Support Bracket.
NOTE: For cultivation, a two to three inch depth is desirable.
When laying out plant rows, be sure to allow enough width
to permit cultivation between the rows.
