Maintaining Your Cultivator | Yard-Man 21A-144R401 specs

•With one hand grasping the starter handle, the other hand should grasp the front handle on the cultivator for a brace.

•Pull the starter rope briskly 3 to 5 times or until engine starts.

•Move choke lever to Open (C) position.

•With tines off the ground, depress the throttle lever against the upper handle to increase engine speed and rotate tines.

Using Your Cultivator

WARNING: Never pick-up or carry the unit while the engine is running. Serious personal injury could result.

•Move the cultivator to the work area prior to starting the engine. The cultivator may be transported by pushing it on the wheels or carrying it by the handles.

•Start the engine referring to Starting Engine.

•With both hands on the upper handle and squeezing the throttle control, slowly lower the cultivator until the tines make contact with the ground.

•Once the tines are in the ground, continue to cultivate at a moderate pace until you are familiar with the controls and the handling of the cultivator.

•To adjust the cultivating depth, adjust the wheel support bracket. See Adjusting The Wheel Bracket.

For cultivation, a two to three inch depth is desirable. When laying out plant rows, be sure to allow enough width to permit cultivation between the rows. In growing corn or similar crops, check-row planting will permit cross cultivation and practically eliminate hand hoeing.

Adjusting the Wheel Support Bracket

To adjust the wheel support bracket proceed as follows:

•Stop engine and disconnect spark plug to avoid accidental starting.

•Remove cotter pin from the clevis pin and slide pin out of tailpiece bracket. See Figure 5.

•Slide the wheel support bracket up or down in the tailpiece, aligning the holes to the desire height.

•Place the clevis pin through the hole and secure with a cotter pin.
