WARNING:
Recommended Towing Speed is approx. 2 to 4 mph; depending on soil type and soil
conditions.
TEST RUN TILLER BEFORE USE:
Position tiller so tines are fully in raised position. Start the engine, then engage tines.
Allow tines to rotate for approx. 5 minutes.
Dis-engage tines, then stop the engine and re-check following:
Pulleys & belts (re-tighten or align if necessary)
Tines (tighten if necessary)
OPERATING & TILLING HELPFUL TIPS:
If encountering rock(s):
Always remove as soon as possible to avoid damage.
Beginner or first time tilling:
It is recommended to start slowly until you become familiar and
more comfortable with operating the tiller.
If soil is soft/wet:
Start at a shallow tilling depth. Make a pass and let dry. Lower depth and
repeat as necessary. If soil is too wet, it could cause soil to have lumps.
If soil is hard/dry:
Start at a shallow tilling depth. Till in the opposite direct of the final planting
(cross till). Make a final pass in the same direction of the final planting.
Tilling Pattern:
Till in rows where each pass is made one tiller width from previous pass, then
come back and till between passes. When passes are made next to each other, the tiller will pull
towards the tilled area.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
WARNING!
When performing any maintenance, please shut off the engine, wait 5 minutes to allow parts to
cool and disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug.
STORAGE SAFETY
Store the unit in an area away from human activity.
Do not park your tiller where it can be exposed to direct contact to livestock for long periods of time.
Damage and livestock injury could result.
If possible, store your tiller inside, but not near an open flame or spark.
Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices.
After the tiller has cooled, cover the machine with a suitable protective cover that does not retain
moisture.
