Engaging the Drive and Tines
Do not push down on the handlebars to try to make the tiller till more
deeply. This prevents the wheels from holding the tiller back and can allow
the tines to rapidly propel the tiller, which could result in loss of control,
property damage, or personal injury.
Moving forward:
1.
For forward motion of the wheels use the gear selection handle and for
power to the tines pull the clutch control up against the handlebar.
2.
When tilling, let the wheels pull the machine while the tines dig. Walk
slowly behind the tiller allowing it to move at its own pace while keeping a
secure grip on the handlebar with your elbows flexed.
3.
Release the bail to stop the wheels and tines.
Moving in Reverse: (Do not till in reverse)
1.
Release the Clutch Control. Then lift the handlebar until the tines are off the
ground.
2.
Pull back on the gear selection handle, and walk backwards with the
machine.
NOTE: In reverse mode, the tines will reverse rotation.
Turning the Tiller
1.
Practice turning the tiller in a level, open area. Be very careful to keep your
feet and legs away from the tines.
2.
To begin a turn, lift the handlebars until the tines are out of the ground and
the engine and tines are balanced over the wheels.
3.
With the tiller balanced, push sideways on the handlebar to steer in the
direction of the turn. After turning, slowly lower the tines into the soil to
resume tilling.
Setting the Depth
Tilling depth is controlled by the depth stake which can be adjusted to five different
settings. Adjust the side shields as you adjust the depth stake.
•
When using the tiller for the first time, use the second adjustment hole from
the top (1" of tilling depth).
•
When breaking up sod and for shallow cultivation, use the setting which
gives 1" of tilling depth (second hole from the top). Place the side shields in
their lowest position.
•
For further depth, raise the depth stake and side shields and also make one
or two more passes over the area.
•
When tilling loose soil, the depth stake may be raised to its highest position
(use bottom adjustment hole) to give the deepest tilling depth. Raise the
side shields to their highest position.
•
To transport tiller, lower the depth stake (use top adjustment hole).
OPERATION
WARNING
To adjust the depth stake, remove the clevis pin and cotter pin. Move the depth stake
to the desired setting and secure with the clevis pin and cotter pin. See Figure 14.
Depth Stake
Cotter Pin
To adjust the side shields, remove the wing nuts. Move the side shield to the desired
position and replace the wing nuts. Tighten securely. See Figure 15.
Adjusting the Handle Height
The handle should be adjusted so that when the tiller is digging 3-4" into the soil,
the handle falls to about waste-high. Refer to the Assembly section of this manual
for instructions on adjusting the handle.
