Operating the Tiller

•Select the depth stake setting.

•Start engine as instructed on the previous page.

•Move gear selection handle to one of the forward modes or reverse.

WARNING: Do not move the gear selection handle with the wheels or tines engaged. Make certain the unit is stopped completely before changing the gear selection. A partial engagement may be necessary when engaging tines.

IMPORTANT:Use the reverse tine drive when tilling virgin ground, sod, or hard soil. Use the forward tine drive when cultivating or tilling soft ground.

•Squeeze the clutch handle against the handle to engage the wheels and tines.

NOTE: Make certain the gear selection indicator is correctly positioned before engaging the clutch handle. If it is between gears, the engine will stall.

To transport tiller, do not engage the tines. Select the wheel drive only.

WARNING: Do not push down on the handles so that the wheels are lifted off the ground while using the tine drive, or the tiller could move backward and cause personal injury.
