How to Switch From Tilling to Cultivating Position
1. Make sure your Tiller/Cultivator is off.
2. Remove the retaining pins from the tines.
3. Remove the tines from the axle.
4. Place the right-side tine onto the left-side axle. Place the left side
tine onto the right-side axle. The “D” hole should be to the outside.
5. Here is how to make sure you’ve installed the tines properly. Stand
behind the Tiller/Cultivator and hold your hand, palm up, next to the
tines. Do the tine points curl up, as your fingers do? If so, they are in
the correct cultivating position.
6. Reinsert the pins.
WARNING DANGER
IF YOUR TINES GET JAMMED OR ENTANGLED,
SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AT ONCE.
REMOVE THE OBSTRUCTION WHILE THE
ENGINE IS OFF.
NEVER TRY TO REMOVE AN OBSTRUCTION
WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. SERIOUS
INJURY CAN RESULT.
Now You’re Ready to Cultivate or Weed.
Guide your Tiller/Cultivator where you want to weed and start it up. Pull
your Tiller/Cultivator backward slowly, then let it move forward a bit, in a
gentle rocking motion. Watch it slice, shred, and bury those weeds!
Got tough weeds? Lighten your pressure on the throttle to slow your
Tiller/Cultivator down. Then work back and forth until your
Tiller/Cultivator chops up the weeds. It’s easy and effective!
Remember, any Tiller/Cultivator will tangle in tall grass, stringy vines, or
super-big weeds. So, if you have a “backyard jungle,” first use a knife,
pruner, or brush cutter to chop up the overgrowth. If the tines become
tangled anyway, turn the engine off completely before trying to clear
them.
Tilling Position
Tine teeth point in the same direction as the rotation of the tine; or toward
the front of the Tiller/Cultivator, away from the operator.
Cultivating Position
Tine teeth point in the opposite direction as the rotation of the tine. Tines
point toward the back of the Tiller/Cultivator, or toward the operator.
