Operation
TILLING
1. Adjust the drag stake to desired tilling depth.
NOTE: Raise drag stake up one hole at a time,
testing tiller operation after each raise. Raising drag
stake too high can result in loss of control of tiller!
2. Move the throttle control to
fast
.
3. Place the tiller in
forward
by pushing down on the
drive control levers--this will engage the wheels and
tines.
NOTE: You can slow the tiller's forward advance at
any time by putting slight downward pressure on
the handlebars, or you can stop the tiller by
releasing the drive control levers to the neutral
position.
CAUTION
To stop wheels and tines at any time, release drive
control levers to neutral position.
CAUTION
Always release drive control levers to neutral position
before adjusting the drag stake.
Practice operating the controls and tiller with tines out
of ground before beginning to till. It is important that
you know how to use the tiller properly, how to keep
control at all times, how to stop the tines and wheels
from turning, and how to stop the engine if necessary.
If you do not know how to do these things, read the
Controls, Adjustments and Safety sections before
proceeding.
