OPERATING TIPS
1. Move the cultivator to the work area prior to starting
the engine/motor.
2. Start the unit.
3. With the engine running and the tines off the ground,
depress the throttle control to increase the engine
speed.
4. Holding both of the shaft and handle grips firmly,
slowly lower the cultivator until the tines make
contact with the ground (Figs. 4 & 5).
5. As cultivating action begins, pull back on the
cultivator so that the tines can penetrate the ground.
6. Once the ground has been broken, continue at a
moderate pace until you are familiar with the controls
and the handling of the cultivator.
