The key to successful tilling is to begin with a shallow cut on the first past, and then work an inch
or two deeper on each successive pass.
�
Tilling depth will vary with ground conditions.
�
When beginning to till in unbroken ground or
in extremely hard soil,set the detent pin in the
highest hole of the drag stake (follow instructions
under tilling section ).This will allow for shallow
tilling . With the drag stake in this position ,
make several light passes over the area to be tilled.
Treset for deeper depths with successive passes.
�
If tiller jumps or skids uncontrollably, lower the drag stake by placing the detent pin in a
higher hole . This will allow fo shallow tilling hold firmly to the handlebars to control sudden
lurches.
�
If weeds , tall grasses, vines, or other materials clog or jam the tines, reverse the tiller to
unwind vegetation.
Immediately release the drive control levers if the tines jam or you strike a foreign object. With
drive control levers in neutral position, push throttle control to strop position to strop the engine,
disengage the spark plug wire, when tines have stopped ,remove foreign objects and check for
damage.
