lever. Also, make sure all other mounting
hardware is securely tightened.
NOTE: Fully assembled handlebar

STEP 3: Move Tiller Off Shipping

1. Set the Depth Regulator Lever
(A, Figure 2-4) to Travel position. Do this
by lifting the tiller by the handlebars, then
pulling straight back on the lever and
sliding down to the highest notched
setting.
2. Set the Wheel Speed Lever (B, Figure
2-4) to Freewheel position. To do this,
move the lever approximately halfway
between the Fast and Slow settings while
you rock the tiller forward and backward
until the wheels move freely.
3. Lift Handlebars high enough to clear
tiller tines and pull back firmly to dislodge
the tiller from the platform wheel wells.

the short link (I). Be careful not to lose it
when removing screw (G).
3. Slide the plates at the end of the
Wheels/Tines/PTO Lever over the yoke
plates (Figure 2-9). To aid in the next
step, insert a screw temporarily into the
forward most holes (J, Figure 2-7) of the
yoke plates and the lever.
4. Align the rear most holes of the yoke
plates and the Wheels/Tines/PTO Lever.
