8.Handling tips
• If the tiller tends to move forward rapidly, push down on the
handlebars to allow the drag bar to penetrate the soil and slow the
forward motion on the tiller. Continue to press down until the tiller
tines have dug to a desired depth that allows easy tiller handling.
• If the tines dig in but the tiller will not move forward, ease up on the
handlebars and move the handlebars from side-to-side. If the tiller still
digs in but will not move forward, raise the drag bar up a hole.
• When turning, push down on the handlebars to bring the tiller's
weight to the rear; this will make turning easier.
