OPERATION
TURNING
• Release the clutch control bar.
• Move throttle control to “SLOW” position.
•
Place shift lever indicator in “F” (forward) position. Tines
will not turn.
• Lift handle to raise tines out of ground.
• Swing the handle in the opposite direction you wish
to turn, being careful to keep feet and legs away from
tines.
• When you have completed your turn-around, release
the clutch control bar and lower handle. Place shift
lever in till position and move throttle control to de sired
speed. To begin tilling, hold clutch control bar against
the handle.
CULTIVATING
• Use the forward rotating tine drive when cultivating,
tilling soft ground or tilling pre-tilled soil.
• Release depth and drag stake pins. Lower drag stake.
Pull the depth stake up for increased tilling depth. Place
proper pin in hole of depth stake or drag stake to lock
in position.
• Place shift lever indicator in counter rotating ( ) till
position.
• Hold the drive control bar against the handle to start
tilling movement. Tines and wheels will both turn.
• Move throttle control "FAST" position for deep tilling.
To cultivate, throttle control can be set at any desired
speed, depending on how fast or slow you wish to
cultivate.
• Always lower the drag stake when using the for ward
rotating tine drive.
OUTER SIDE SHIELDS (See Fig. 12)
The back edges of the outer side shields are slotted so
that the shields can be raised for deep tilling and low ered
for shal low tilling to protect small plants from being buried.
Loosen nut “A” in slot and nut “B”. Move shield to desired
position (both sides). Retighten nuts.
TO TRANSPORT
CAUTION: Before lifting or trans port ing,
allow tiller engine and muffler to cool.
