The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting your tiller and while tilling. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

The depth stake should always be below
the wheels for digging. It serves as a brake to slow the tillers forward motion to
enable the tines to penetrate the ground. Also, the more the depth stake is lowered into the ground the deeper the tines will dig.
DEPTH STAKE
Adjust depth stake by removing the
hairpin clip and clevis pin. Change depth stake to desired position. Replace the clevis pin and hairpin clip.
•For normal tilling, set depth stake at the second or third hole from the top.
WHEELS
Adjust wheels by removing the hairpin clip and clevis pin. Change wheel position. Replace the hairpin clip and clevis pin.
