OPERATING TIPS

the engine. Transport the cultivator by pushing it on
wheels or carrying it by the handle center tube.
2. Start the unit by following the Starting Instructions.
3. With the engine running and the tines off the ground,
depress the throttle control to increase the engine
speed.
4. While holding the upper handle with both hands,
slowly lower the cultivator until the tines make
contact with the ground (Fig. 14).
5. As cultivating action begins, tilt the cultivator up
slightly using the handle so that the tines can
penetrate the ground.
6. Once the ground has been broken, continue at a
moderate pace until you are familiar with the controls
and the handling of the cultivator.
7. If the tines are digging too deep or not deep enough,
adjust the wheel bracket as described in Adjusting
Tine Depth.
