USING YOUR CULTIVATOR
WARNING:
Never pick up or carry the unit while the
engine is running. Serious personal injury could result
1. Move the cultivator to the work area prior to starting the motor.
Transport the cultivator by pushing or pulling it along on its
wheels. Or you may choose to carry the cultivator by its front
handle.
2. Start the cultivator following all steps under STARTING
INSTRUCTIONS on the previous page.
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.
NOTE: For cultivation, a two to three inch depth is desirable. When

cultivation between the rows.
