wheel position. The free-wheel position is for
transporting the tiller long distances over level ground-
-do not attempt to move the tiller up or down steep
grades in the free-wheel position.
HANDLEBAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The ideal height of the handlebar varies with operator
height and the depth of tilling. To adjust handlebar height:
Unscrew nuts and remove top bolt until handlebar
moves freely up and down.
Align handlebar to desired hole on the transmission
cover.
Insert lockpin through holes, fold lockpin ring to secure
pin to axle.
Wheel and axle should be firmly locked together
before tilling.
Repeat for other wheel.
3. Install bolts and nuts. Retighten.
NOTE: Always have both wheel lockpins in or out. Do
not operate tiller with only one wheel locked.
To place wheels in free-wheel position.
Remove lockpin. Slide wheel inward toward machine.
