CULTIVATING

starting the engine/motor.

ger to increase the engine speed.
3. Hold trigger handle and assist handle firm-
ly. Slowly lower the cultivator until the tines
make contact with the ground.
4. As unit begins cultivating, pull back on the
unit so that the tines can penetrate the
ground.
5. Once the ground has been broken, contin-
ue at a moderate pace until you are familiar
with the controls and the handling of the
cultivator.
6. Pull the cultivator backwards to improve
the depth of cultivation and reduce your ef-
fort.
7. To cultivate in confined areas or narrow
rows, remove the left and right outer tines
(see TINE REPLACEMENT).
