TILLING TIPS
The key to successful tilling is to begin with a shallow cut on the first pass, and
then work an inch or two deeper on each successive pass.
• Tilling depth will vary with ground conditions.
• When beginning to till in unbroken ground or in extremely hard soil, set
the detent pin in the highest hole of the drag stake (follow instructions
under Tilling section). This will allow for shallow tilling. With the drag
stake in this position, make several light passes over the area to be
tilled. Reset for deeper depths with successive passes.
• If tiller jumps or skids uncontrollably, lower the drag stake by placing
the detent pin in a higher hole. This will allow for shallower tilling. Hold
firmly to the handlebars to control sudden lurches.
Immediately release the drive control lever if the tines jam or you strike a foreign
object. With drive control lever in neutral position, push throttle control to stop
position to stop the engine. Disengage the spark plug wire. When tines have
stopped, remove foreign objects and check for damage.
CULTIvATING TIPS
If you plan to use your tiller for cultivating:
• Plant rows on 20" - 22" centers for ease of turning.
• Set the depth regulator lever with the detent pin in one of the higher
holes. This will allow for shallow cultivation necessary to turn over
weeds, and break up and aerate the soil.
