Stopping the Engine

(Figure 9).
Operating Procedures
Cultivate without placing excessive body weight on the machine. The cultivator operated most efficiently under its own weight.
Allow the machine to till soil clawing its way forward. Depending on the soil type and moisture conditions, the slower the
cultivator moves across the working area, the deeper the tines will penetrate.
Make multiple passes over working area to cultivate soil effectively.
Note: This cultivator is designed to till predominately loose soil. Attempting to break hard pack soil may damage tines.
Note: The 43cc 2-cycle engine is only designed to be run under the load of tiller. Holding the engine at full throttle continuously while the
machine is not in use may cause permanent engine damage.
1.
Ensure the Drag Stake and Wheel height is set to the desired position.
2.
Start the machine as described in the previous section.
3.
Lift Tines off the ground and operate the Throttle Lever to full speed.
4.
Slowly lower the Tines into the soil as you begin walking forward to till soil.
Note: Holding back on the Handlebar will slow the forward movement to till material more thoroughly.
5.
Release the Throttle Lever when you want to stop the Tiller.
6.
Shut the Engine off before leaving the Tiller.

The Tines Drive Clutch will transfer maximum power after about two hours of normal operation. During this break-in period,
Clutch slippage may occur and is normal.
The Tines should not rotate when the Engine is idling; if they do, contact us at www.DRpower.com for instructions.
Use the DR 2-CYCLE TILLER CULTIVATOR without placing excessive body weight on the machine. The unit operates most
efficiently with the weight of the machine itself.
Use common sense when using the machine. Learn to recognize the change in sounds when it is overloaded. Turn off the
Engine immediately if the machine becomes jammed to prevent damage to the drive system.
Never stop the Engine by moving the Choke Lever to the CHOKE position.
This could cause an Engine backfire resulting in Engine damage.
