CAUTION: USE CARE WHEN WORKING
AROUND A RAISED CULTIVATOR. KEEP
YOUR FEET AND HANDS FROM UNDER
THE TANGS AT ALL TIMES. SERIOUS
INJURY CAN RESULT SHOULD THE
CULTIVATOR DROP UNEXPECTEDLY.
OPERATION
The tine cultivator is used to loosen soil and other
types of landscape material.
1. Before starting, make sure the material to be
cultivated, such as dirt, is dry enough by squeez-
ing some in your hand. If it forms a ball that doesn't
crumble, the material may be too wet to cultivate.
2. The cultivator can be set for various depths of
cultivation. To change the cultivation depth, raise
or lower the two depth gauge bars located on the
back of the frame assembly as shown in figure 8.
To adjust the depth gauge bars, remove the nuts
from the U-bolt securing each bar to the frame.
Then reposition the U-bolt in another set of holes
for the desired depth of cultivation. The bars can
be adjusted up or down in 1" increments. Be sure
to use the same matching pairs of holes in each
depth gauge bar to ensure the cultivator is level.
3. Up to 160 lbs. of weight may be added to help
increase penetration. 40 lb. suitcase weights can
be attached to the center weight bracket, or con-
crete blocks or other weights may be tied or
strapped to the cultivator frame. Before adding
weight, the cultivator should be attached to the
tow vehicle and lowered to the ground.
MAINTENANCE
1. Check for and tighten any loose hardware before
each use.
2. Clean the cultivator and lightly oil only bare metal
after each use.
3. Remove all dirt and rust. Touch up paint before
placing cultivator in storage.
4. Store cultivator inside a dry area.
