light but secure grip with one hand onthe handlebars,but keep your arm loose. SeeFigure 4-2. Let the tiller move aheadat its own pace and do not push down on the han- dlebars to try andforce the tiller to dig deeper - this takes weight off the wheels, reducestraction, and causes the tines to try and propel the tiller.

Do not push down on the handlebars to try to make the tiller till more deeply. This preventsthe wheels from holding the tiller back and can allow the tines to rapidly propel the tiller forward, which could result in loss of control, propertydamage, or personal injury.
