FIG. 1. 10 ■ FORWARD TO REVERSE
When in forward mode for cultivating between rows,
the tines do not have to be switched from side to
side, however, the Tiller will thus break previously
tilled soil to a depth of on ly 1 or 2 inches. To dig un¬
filled soil or to till deeper for seed bed preparation,
switch the tines from right to left side.
TO CHANGE FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE: TAKE
BELT OFF TOP OF BIG PULLEY, PULL TOWARD
YOU AND HOLD. LIFT BELT FROM BOTTOM AND
PUT IN TOP OF PULLEY.
• MAKE SURE BELT IS RUNNING TRUE UNDER LIT¬
TLE PULLEY, AROUND BIG PULLEY, AND ABOVE
