OPERATION

TILLER OPERATION

1.Install the drag bar [3] (see page 9). Honda recommends using the drag bar when tilling. The tiller can be difficult to control without the drag bar installed.

2.Set the tilling depth by moving the drag bar [3] up or down.

The ideal height of the drag bar will depend on the type of soil being tilled, and soil conditions at the time of tilling. In general, however, the drag bar should be adjusted so that the tiller is tilted slightly backward.

3.Start the engine (see page 10).

4.Tilt the tiller back until the tines are off the ground. Squeeze the throttle lever [2] to full speed position (lever tight against the grip).

5.Lower the front of the tiller until the tines begin to dig into the ground.

6.Lower the handlebar [1] slightly so the front of the tiller is raised about 6 ~ 8°. To get the maximum advantage from the tiller, hold the tiller at this angle while you are tilling the ground.

Narrow Cultivating

The two outer tines can be removed to give you a narrower cultivating width. This width is approximately 127 mm. This gives you the ability to get between very closely spaced plants.

To remove the two outer tines, pull the lock pins [1] out of the holes in the end of the tine shaft. Slide the outside tine set off the tine shaft. Secure the inner set of tines onto the tine shaft by placing the lock pins [1] in the inside set of lock pin holes.

Tine Installation

 

 

Make sure the tines are installed properly with the blades angled inward and the tine spacers [1] facing each other. The leading edge of each blade is slanted.

Operating Tips

If the tiller tends to move forward rapidly, push down on the handlebars [1] to allow the drag bar [3] to penetrate

the soil and slow the forward motion of the tiller.

 

 

Continue to press down until the tiller tines have dug to a

 

 

desired depth that allows easy tiller handling.

 

[1]

• If the tines dig in but the tiller will not move forward, ease

[1]

 

up on the handlebars [1] and move the handlebars from

 

 

 

side-to-side. If the tiller still digs in, but will not move

 

 

forward, raise the drag bar [3] up one hole.
