Step 3:
The Sweep Cultivator is now attached to the
Tow Hitch which, in turn, is connected to the Power
Unit. Your Sweep Cultivator is now ready for use.
USE OF THE SWEEP CULTIVATOR
The Troy-Bilt Sweep Cultivator slices cleanly
through the soil and is adjustable to various digging
depths. You control the depth by raising or lowering
the handlebars as you move the tiller forward, or by
loosening the bolts and raising or lowering the Sweep
in the channel. In this way, the depth can be set to
the individual needs of your garden and your soil
although, as was mentioned, the usual adjustment is
about 1" below ground level.
In parts of your garden which are not
Hiller/Furrrower areas, the Sweep Cultivator, used in
fast gear, can cultivate without raising dust and
without causing a loss of vital moisture from the soil.
For optimum control, walk directly behind the
Sweep Cultivator and hold the handlebars with both
hands. To cross a lawn, tip the tiller handlebars
upward so that the Sweep blade does not touch the
ground. Your cultivator cuts weeds off 1" or so
beneath the surface of the soil. The top of the weed
falls off and dies in the sunlight so that the remaining
root does not usually produce new growth. Weeds
smaller than 2-3", and those which have barely
emerged from the soil, are shocked by the movement
of the soil and the breakage of the root hairs. Even
though they are not cut directly, this impact often
stops further growth.

The Sweep will find the level you have selected and
maintain it quite well.
