3.With both hands on the upper handle, slowly pivot the cultivator forward until the tines make contact with the soil.
WARNING: Avoid risk of injury. Keep the extension cord clear of the tilling path at all times. Do not allow the tines to contact the extension cord
4.Once the tines are in the ground, cultivate at a moderate pace until you are familiar with the controls and the handling of the cultivator.
NOTE: Be aware of the extension cord's location at all times. Never allow the cultivator's tines to come into contact with the extension cord while operating.
5.To adjust the cultivating depth, adjust the wheel support bracket. See Adjusting The Wheel Support Bracket.
