Operating Instructions
Depth Regulator Adjustment
Tilling depth is controlled by the height of the depth regulator lever.
To adjust tilling depth (see Figure 3).
1. Remove detent pin.
2. Raise the depth regulator lever to position tines at chosen tilling
depth.
3. Align hole in depth regulator lever with hole in depth regulator
bracket and replace detent pin.
Depth Regulator Lever Down = Shallower tilling. Place the detent
pin in the top hole of the depth regulator lever for shallowest tilling.
Depth Regulator Lever Up = Deeper tilling. Place the detent pin in
the bottom hole of the depth regulator lever for deepest tilling.
Belt Tension Adjustment
Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 1/2 hour of
operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to initial stretch.
Thereafter, check tension after every 2 hours of operation.
To increase belt tension (see Figure 4) :
1. Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8” increments.
2. Tighten lower jam nut.
3. Check adjustment.
This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts are
fully adjusted. If no more adjustment can be made, belt may have to
be replaced.
Tilling Tips
The key to successful tilling is to begin with a shallow cut on the first
pass, and then work an inch or two deeper on each successive pass.
• Tilling depth will vary with ground conditions.
• When beginning to till in unbroken ground or in extremely hard
soil, set the detent pin in the highest hole of the drag stake. This will
allow for shallow tilling. With the drag stake in this position, make
several light passes over the area to be tilled. Reset for deeper depths
with successive passes.
• If tiller jumps or skids uncontrollably, lower the drag stake by
placing the detent pin in a higher hole. This will allow for shallower
tilling. Hold firmly to the handlebars to control sudden lurches.
Immediately release the drive control lever if the tines jam or you
strike a foreign object. With drive control lever in neutral position,
push throttle control to stop position to stop the engine. Disengage
the spark plug wire. When tines have stopped, remove foreign objects
and check for damage.
