1. Before operating tiller for the first time or if
tines have been removed and reassembled for
any reason, check to be certain the tines are
assembled correctly. The sharp edge of the
tines must enter the soil first as shown in
figure 15. (Figure 15 illustrates the left hand
tines, viewed from the left hand side of the
tiller. Right hand tines rotate in the same
direction as the left hand tines.)

first time, use the depth bar setting
that gives 1112 inches of tilling depth
(second hole from the top). Refer
to figure 16. Use slow speed only.
Tilling depth is controlled by the depth bar which
can be adjusted to five different settings. See
figure 16. Adjust the side shields as shown in
figure 17, as you adjust the depth bar. Be certain
spark plug wire is disconnected and grounded
against the engine.
1. When using the tiller for the first time, use the
