Tilling
a.
Release the depth stake pin (fig. 11 - inset c). Pull the
depth stake up for increased tilling depth. Place depth
stake pin in hole of depth stake to lock in position (fig. 11
- inset C).
b.
Place shift lever indicator (fig. 11 - inset A) in the "T" (tilling)
position.
c.
Hold the drive control bar against the handle (fig. 10) to
start tilling movement. Tines and wheels will both turn.
d.
Move throttle control (fig. 10) to "FAST" for deep tilling. For
cultivating move throttle control to desired speed.
WARNING!
Always release drive control bar before moving shift lever into
another position.
Tilling hints
Tilling is digging into, turning over and breaking up packed
soil before planting. Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth.
Best tilling depth is 4" to 6".
Soil conditions are important for proper tilling. Tines will not
readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may contribute to
excessive bounce and difficult handling of your tiller. Hard
soil should be moistened before tilling: however, extremely
wet soil will "ball-up" or clump during tilling. Wait until the soil
is less wet in order to achieve the best results.
For easier handling of your tiller, leave about 8 inches of
untilled soil between the first and second tilling passes. The
third pass will be between the first then second and etc. (fig.
12).
Do not lean on the handle. This takes weight off the wheels
and reduces traction. To get through a really tough section
of sod or hard ground, apply upward pressure on handle or
lower the depth stake.
