machine running.

On/Off Switch to “Off/STOP” to stop the engine.

Raise or lower the depth regulator one hole at a time, testing cultivator operation after each adjustment. Adjusting the
depth regulator too high or low can result in loss of control of the cultivator! It is easier and safer to make multiple
passes and allow the machine to do the work.
