4. Tilling depth
hen used in the field.
-------When moved on road.
Tilling depth can be adjusted by
removing the retainer and sliding
the drag bar up or down as aErArNER
necessary.
5. Handling tips
Adjust the handlebar height to a comfortable position (waist height for
normal tilling).
The drag bar should always be used when tilling. It enables you to com-
pensate for the hardness of the soil. 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.
If the machine jerks forward while tilling, press down on the
handlebars. This will cause the tines to dig more deeply into the soil.
If tines dig in but the machine will not move forward, move the
handlebars from side to side.
When turning, push down on the handlebars to bring the tiller’s weight
to the rear; this will make turning easier.
