4. When finished, stop the machine and pull the tine
control lever rearward and up to lower the rear
wheels and lifts the tines out of the ground.
Important: Do not drive the machine across
pavement or other hard surfaces without first
raising the tines. Crossing hard surfaces with
the tines lowered will damage the tines.
Adding Weight
To ensure that the tines penetrate fully into the soil,
you can add weight to the back of the machine. The
machine has three weight pockets that hold the weights
(Figure 13). When placing weight, ensure that you have
a balanced load; if using only one weight, place it in the
center pocket and if using two, place them in the side
pockets.
