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).
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 10.
