9.4 USING THE CULTIVATOR/TILLER – FIGS. 23 – 25

 

With the engine running tilt back the machine so 
that the blades are raised from the ground.

  

Gradually increase the engine speed by pulling 
up the throttle control lever 

.

 

Holding the handlebars firmly, lower the tiller 
onto the soil. As the tines rotate, pull back on 
the handles so that the tines can penetrate the 
soil. Once the ground has been broken, 
continue at a moderate pace until you are 
familiar with the controls and the handling of the 
tiller.

 

–  Pull the tiller backwards to improve the  
 

depth of the cultivation and reduce your  

 effort.

If the tines are digging too deep or not enough, 
adjust following the below guidelines:

Tine adjustment will vary depending on the type of 
soil being cultivated and how it will be used.

 

Stop the engine and loosen the

 

knobs 

on 

the tine guard 

.

 

Slide the wheel bracket assembly 

down for 

shallower digging.

 

Slide the wheel bracket assembly 

up for 

deeper digging.

 

–  Tighten the wing nuts again, making sure  
 

that the carriage bolts are properly seated  

 

through the bracket.

To transport, slide the wheel bracket assembly all 
the way down, tilt the unit back so that the tines 
clear the ground and push to the next location using 
the transport wheels.
