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
standard
safety
glasses
or a wide vision
safety
mask worn

TINE OPERATION
• Squeeze

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
Adjust
depth
stake
by removing
the hairpin
clip and clevis
pin. Change
depth
stake
to

position.
Replace
the clevis
pin and

set depth
stake
at the
second
or third
hole from the top.
