WARNING
Prior to operating your tiller, carefully read and follow all instructions
below. Perform all adjustments to verify your tiller is operating safely

The tiller is shipped with the wheels adjusted so that the machine sits
level. The wheels need to be adjusted to meet your tilling needs before
operation. This adjustment is made by removing the clevis pin from the
wheel yoke and raising the wheels to the desired height. See Figure 9.
