HOW TO USE YOUR
TILLER
The tiller is a precision built machine designed for
seed bed preparation, cultivating, furrowing and
mulching. It is engineered to minimize the harcest
work in the vegetable or flower garden, to till the
soil for planting and cultivating, and for perform¬
ing many other useful labor saving tasks in the
garden. With the proper amount of care and
maintenance, this machine will provide the owner
with many years of excellent service.
WHEEL POSITION
The tiller is shipped with the wheels adjusted
such that the unit sits level. During digging as the
tines enfer the ground and the front of the tiller
lowers, the wheels must be raised to level the
unit. This is essential for proper engine operation.
This adjustment is made by removing the clevis
pin and hairpin cotter from wheel yoke, raising the
wheels to the desired height, and replacing the
clevis pin and hairpin cotter. See figure 23.
CONTROLLING SPEED AND TILLING DEPTH:
1. Wheel Yoke Adjustment: Place wheel yoke so
that the wheels are forward {nearest point be¬
tween
wheels and
tines) for shallow tilling,
cultivating and transport. This will also increase
the forward speed. See figure 24. Turn yoke
around (farthest point between wheels and tines)
for deep tilling. Forward speed will decrease. See
figure 24.

2 Depth Bar Adjustment: The depth bar acts as
a brake for the tiller and controls the depth and
speed at which the machine will operate. See
figure 25. Remove the clevis pin and hairpin cotter
to raise or lower depth bar.
