TIPS
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.on.previous.page)..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..

✮
If.weeds,.tall.grasses,.vines,.or.other.materials.clog..
. or.jam.the.tines,.reverse.the.tiller.to.unwind.. .
. vegetation.
Immediately release the drive control levers if the tines
jam or you strike a foreign object. With drive control
levers 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.the.shallow..
. cultivation.necessary.to.turn.over.weeds,.and.break..
. up.and.aerate.the.soil.
Extreme. caution. must. be. taken. in. selecting. tilling.
depth..If.you.attempt.to.till.too.deeply.for.soil.conditions,.
that. is,. with. the. drag. stake. in. too. high. a. position,.
loss.of.control.could.result.
If. removing. material. from. the. tines. by. hand,. stop.
engine.and.remove.spark.plug.wire.first.
