Tilling

a. Release the depth stake pin (fig. 10 - inset c). Pull the

depth stake up for increased tilling depth. Place depth

stake pin in hole of depth stake to lock in position (fig.

10 - inset C).

b. Place shift lever indicator (fig. 10 - inset A) in the "T" (till-

ing) position.

c. To start tiller movement, push down on the drive control

release and squeeze the drive control lever. Tines and

wheels will both turn.

d. Move throttle control (fig. 9) to "FAST" for deep tilling.

For cultivating move throttle control to desired speed.

WARNING!

Always release drive control lever before moving shift lever

into another position. Releasing the drive control lever will

disengage the drive control release.

Tilling hints

Tilling is digging into, turning over and breaking up packed

soil before planting. Loose, unpacked soil helps root growth.

Best tilling depth is 4" to 6".

Soil conditions are important for proper tilling. Tines will not

readily penetrate dry, hard soil which may contribute to ex-

ces sive bounce and difficult handling of your tiller. Hard soil

should be moistened before tilling: however, ex treme ly wet

soil will "ball-up" or clump during tilling. Wait until the soil is

less wet in order to achieve the best results.

For easier handling of your tiller, leave about 8 inches of untilled

soil between the first and second tilling passes. The third

pass will be between the first then second and etc. (fig. 11).

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.
