3. Handling Tips
Adjust the handlebar height to a comfortable position (waist height for normal tilling)
Should the machine jerk forward while tilling, press down the handlebars, if the machine will not move
forward, move the handlebars from side to side.
Turn: The proper method of negotiating a turn during a tilling operation is to lower the handlebars to
bring the gravity center toward the rear and then make the turn. This will permit a turn to be made
with relative ease.
