IMPORTANT: Always lower the drag
stake when using the forward rotating tine drive.
OUTER SIDE SHIELDS
The back edges of the outer side shields are slotted so that the shields can be
raised for deep tilling and lowered for shallow tilling to protect small plants from being buried.
1.Loosen nut "A" in slot and nut "B".
2.Move shield to desired position (both sides).
3.Retighten nuts.
TO TRANSPORT
_CAUTION: Before lifting or transporting, allow tiller engine and muffler to cool. Dis-
connect spark plug wire. Drain gasoline from fuel tank.
