• Do not lean on the Handle. This takes weight off the
Wheels and reduces traction. To get through a really
tough section of sod or hard ground, apply upward
pressure on Handle or lower the Depth Stake,.
CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroying the weeds between rowsto 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" to3". 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 (Fig. 18).
