Cultivator Operation
TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Keep hands, fingers, feet, and loose clothing away from rotating Tines.
BEWARE of possible buried obstacles such as cable, conduit, irrigation lines, and landscape fabric.
DO NOT operate above or near any electrical cables, gas pipes, or any other
utility lines. Contact your local utility company before using the Cultivator.
1. Before starting the Engine, place the Axle / Drag
Bar Assembly in the cultivating position and set the
desired cultivating depth (to a maximum 6" deep)
by adjusting the Axle / Drag Bar Assembly:
Remove the R-Clip and Clevis Pin holding the
Assembly in place. Lower the Assembly to
increase cultivating depth or raise it to decrease
depth. Replace the Clevis Pin and R-Clip.
Note:
Optimum tilling depth (generally 4"– 6") will vary
with soil conditions. If Cultivator shakes or is difficult
to control, the Axle / Drag Bar Assembly is not correctly
set for the conditions. Adjustment through trial and
error is required to achieve the correct setting.

WARNING! TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Before first use, practice operating the Cultivator
controls with Tines raised off of the ground.
Know how to keep control at all times, how to
stop the Tines from turning, and how to stop the
Engine. For actual field use, operate at a slow
pace until familiar with Cultivator handling.
3. Start the Engine following instructions
in
Manual Start
on page 13.
4. Grip the Handles firmly with both hands.
5. With the Engine running, pull up on the Throttle
Control Lever on the Handlebar to rotate the Tines
and move forward. Release the Throttle Control
Lever to stop Tine rotation and forward movement.

6. The following soil conditions can affect tilling results:
a. On soil that is too hard and/or dried out for the
Tines to penetrate, the Cultivator will shake
excessively and jump across the soil surface.
Moisten dry, hardened soil prior to tilling and use
a shallow depth setting and slow Engine speed.
b. Exceedingly wet soil will form clumps
during tilling and clog the Tines. Allow wet
soil to partially dry before tilling and use a
slow Engine speed to improve results.
NOTICE:
Should the Tines jam or the Cultivator strike
a foreign object during use, immediately release the
Throttle Control Lever and turn off the Engine. Wait
until the machine completely stops. Disconnect the
Spark Plug cap, remove foreign objects and inspect the
Cultivator. If any damage is found have the problem
corrected before further use.
