The operation
of any tiller can result in foreign
objects
thrown
into the eyes,
which
can result in severe
eye damage.
Always
wear safety glasses
or eye
shields
before
starting
your tiller and while tilling.
We recommend
standard
safety glasses
or a wide vision safety
mask worn
over spectacles.

TINE OPERATION

TILLING
The speed
and depth of tilling
is regulated
by the position
of the depth
stake
and
wheel
height.
The depth
stake should
always
be below
the wheels
for digging.
It serves
as a
brake to slow the tiller's forward
motion
to
enable
the tines to penetrate
the ground.
Also, the more the depth
stake
is lowered
into the ground
the deeper
the tines will
dig.
DEPTH
STAKE

depth
stake by removing
