Operation
Refer to your traction unit Operator's Manual for more
information on installing and removing attachments on your
traction unit.
Important: Always use the traction unit to lift and move
the attachment.
•
Clean the area of trash, branches, and rocks before tilling
to prevent equipment damage.
•
Always begin tilling with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase speed if conditions permit.
•
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed).
•
Till in long, straight passes. Do not make turns while the
tiller is in the ground, as equipment damage may result.
•
Avoid excessive tilling of the soil, as finely tilled soil does
not absorb moisture easily and puddles of water may
form.
•
When tilling hard packed, very dry, or virgin soil, raise the
tiller so only the very top of the soil is penetrated. On
succeeding passes the depth may be lowered.
•
Run the tiller so that the dirt is thrown away from you.
•
If a rock or other obstruction gets into the tiller tines,
reverse the rotation direction to dislodge it.
