Moving the lever upward will increase the tilling depth. The lowest notch allows a tilling depth of approximately 6”, depending on soil conditions. For best results, always begin tilling at a very shallow depth setting and gradually increase the tilling depth.

WARNING: Do not attempt to till too deeply too quickly. Gradually work down to deeper tilling depths.

Place the Depth Regulator Lever in the “travel” position before starting the engine. This position prevents the tines from touching the ground until you are ready to begin tilling.

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or property damage.
