HOW TO USE THE CULTIVATOR
How To Stop The Cultivator
1. Release the throttle control to stop the
tines.
2. Move the ON/OFF switch, on the engine,
to the OFF position.
How To Set The Depth
Use the depth stake to control the tilling
depth and the forward speed. Set the depth
stake to the desired tilling position as fol-
lows:
1. Remove the hairpin and the clevis pin
from the depth stake (see Figure 4).
2. Adjust the depth stake upward to dig
shallower or downward to dig deeper.
3. Reinstall the clevis pin and hairpin.

How To Operate The Cultivator
1. Start the engine.
2. Tilt the unit back on the depth stake until
the tines are offthe ground. Squeeze the
throttle control all the way up against the
hand grip. The engine is governor con-
trolled and must be run at full throttle
while tilling.
3. Hold the handle firmly and slowly tilt the
unit forward to begin the tilling action.
4. As the tines begin to make contact with
the ground, hold back on the handles so
that the tines will dig into the soiI and not
ride forward over the ground.
5. Avoid tilling soil that is too dry as it will
pulverize and produce a dust that will not
hold water'. Also, tilling soil that is too wet
will be hard on the machine and produce
unsatisfactory clods.
Lowering the depth stake will slow the
cultivator and make it till deeper. Raising
the depth stake will allow it to move fast-
er and till more shallow. See "Now To
Set The Depth".
_ ARNING: Keep away from the
rotating tines. Rotating tines
can cause injury.
