ADJUSTING THE WHEEL HEIGHT POSITION - (FIGURE O)
DANGER: Avoid accidental starting. Release bail handle to turn tiller
off, wait until the tines stop and remove safety key prior to adjusting wheel
height position.
The Tiller has three wheel height positions.
L
owest Position - When the wheels are in their lowest position this will
allow easy transportation to and from your work area.
Middle Position - In the middle position the wheels will be lifted up, but
can still contact the ground. This may provide some users additional
control and stability while tilling. It is recommended to raise or remove the
drag bar when tilling in this wheel position.
Highest Position - In the highest position the wheels will not contact the
ground. This position can be used for deep tilling.
1. To adjust the wheel height position, grasp the top of the mid handle
(O-1) and lift slightly to raise the wheels off the ground.
2. Grasp the wheel height adjustment sleeve (O-2) under the wheel
height adjustment knob (O-3) with your index and middle finger and
slide up to release.
3. Move the knob to the desired detent position.
USING THE TILLER
1. Move the tiller to the work area prior to starting the motor. Transport the tiller by pushing or pulling it along on its
wheels with the safety key removed.
2. Start the tiller following all steps under “ON-OFF SWITCH” on the previous page.
3. With both hands on the upper handle, slowly pivot the tiller forward until the tines make contact with the soil.
4. Once the tines are in the ground, till at a moderate pace until you are familiar with the controls and the handling of
the tiller.
5. To adjust the tilling depth, adjust the drag bar bracket and wheel height adjustment position as required.
6. For deeper tilling move your tiller slowly back and forth. Work the same area over and over until the desired depth is
reached.
CIRCUIT BREAKER - (FIGURE P)
The tiller is protected from overheating with a manually resettable circuit
breaker. It may require resetting if an overload condition existed.

2. Press the circuit breaker button (P-1) at the rear left side of the
motor housing.
3. Insert the safety key and restart tiller.
NOTE: The tiller may need a few minutes to cool down. Pushing the
breaker button back in will reset it.
