Operation

TILLING

1. Adjust the drag stake to desired tilling depth.

NOTE: Raise drag stake up one hole at a time, testing tiller operation after each raise. Raising drag stake too high can result in loss of control of tiller!

2.Move the throttle control to fast.

3.Place the tiller in forward by pushing down on the drive control levers--this will engage the wheels and tines.

NOTE:You can slow the tiller's forward advance at any time by putting slight downward pressure on the handlebars, or you can stop the tiller by releasing the drive control levers to the neutral position.

CAUTION

To stop wheels and tines at any time, release drive control levers to neutral position.

CAUTION

Always release drive control levers to neutral position before adjusting the drag stake.

Practice operating the controls and tiller with tines out of ground before beginning to till. It is important that you know how to use the tiller properly, how to keep control at all times, how to stop the tines and wheels from turning, and how to stop the engine if necessary. If you do not know how to do these things, read the Controls, Adjustments and Safety sections before proceeding.
