Do not lean on handle. This takes weight off the wheels
and reduces traction. To get through a really tough

CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rows to pre-
vent them from robbing nourishment and moisture from the
plants. At the same time, breaking up the upper layer of
soil crust will help retain moisture in the soil. Best digging
depth is 1" to 3" (2.5-7.5 cm). Lower the outer side shields
to protect small plants from being buried.
Cultivate up and down the rows at a speed which will
allow tines to uproot weeds and leave the ground in
rough condition, promoting no further growth of weeds
and grass (See Fig. 16).
Do not lean on handle, this takes weight off the wheels,
reduces traction, and may cause the tiller to skip over
the ground.
Always lower the drag stake when using the for ward
rotating tine drive.
