OPERATION
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
1. Move the cultivator to the work area prior to starting the unit.
2. Start the unit.
3. With the tines off the ground, increase the engine/motor speed.
4. Hold the unit firmly with both hands and slowly lower the unit
until the tines make contact with the ground (Fig. 4).
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.
7. Pull the cultivator backwards to improve the depth of cultivation
and reduce your effort.
