which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye
shields before starting your tiller and while tilling.We recommend a wide
vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

TINE OPERATION

TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is regulated
by the position of the depth stake and
wheel height.
The depth stake should always be below
the wheels for digging.
It serves as a
brake to slow the tiller's forward motion to
enable the tines to penetrate the ground.
Also, the more the depth stake is lowered
into the ground the deeper the tines will
dig_

clip and clevis pin. Change depth stake to
