OPERATION

GENERAL CULTIVATING

See Figure 10.

Shallow cultivating less than 2 in. deep can be used to disrupt 
weeds and aerate soil, without injuring nearby plant roots. It 
should be done often so that weeds do not grow large and 
cause tangling in the tines of the unit.
The two outer tine blades can be removed from the unit to 
allow a more narrow cultivating width. 
To remove the two outer tines:

  Unplug the cultivator.

  Remove the hitch pins from the holes on the ends of the 

tine shaft.

  Remove the outside tine blades and felt washers from 

the tine shaft. 

  Place hitch pins in the holes that were uncovered when 

felt washers were removed.

NOTE:  The unit will not operate properly if the tines are in-
stalled incorrectly. If you notice a problem with the cultivating 
operation of the unit, check for proper tine positioning.
