When using the tiller for the first time, use the second
adjustment hole from the top (1” of tilling depth). See
Figure 7.
When breaking up sod and for shallow cultivation, use
the setting which gives 1” of tilling depth (second hole
from the top). Place the side shields in their lowest
position.
For further depth, raise the depth stake and side
shields and also make one or two more passes over
the area.
When tilling loose soil, the depth stake may be raised
to its highest position (use bottom adjustment hole) to
give the deepest tilling depth. Raise the side shields to
their highest position.
To transport tiller, lower the depth stake (use top
adjustment hole).
