SETUP & PREPARATION
2. ATTACHING THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY
The drag bar is used to regulate the depth of the turning tiller tines. It also
serves as a brake, slowing the tiller’s forward motion, enabling the blades
to penetrate the soil.
1. Slot the drag bar into the bar
shaft sheath. The drag bar’s
pointed edge should face
towards the tiller blades.
2. The drag bar has five holes
that allow it to be set at five
different heights. When you have
selected the appropriate height,
fix the drag bar in place with the
split pin and lock pin (supplied).
3. The ideal height of the drag bar will depend on the type of soil being
tilled and soil conditions at the time of tilling. It can be set lower for
deeper tilling and higher for shallower tilling.
In general, however, the drag bar should be adjusted so that the tiller
is tilted slightly backwards. The handles should come to a comfortable
position around waist height for normal tilling.
1. Insert the front
section of the
connection plate into
the rear opening of
the bar shaft sleeve.
Ensure that the holes
in both sections are
aligned.
2. Insert the hex bolts through both
holes and begin screwing in the nuts.
3. Using the 5mm hex key (supplied), keep
the hex bolt in place while tightening the
nut with the 10mm spanner (supplied).
WARNING!:
MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS OFF AND
THE SPARK PLUG DISENGAGED BEFORE
INSTALLING THE DRAG BAR.
