Depth Stake
WARNING! Before assembly, disconnect the spark
plug wire and ground it against the engine to
prevent unintended starting.
Tip the tiller forward so that it rests on the front
counterweight.
Unthread the “T” knob from the top of the depth stake and

from the clevis pin. See Fig. 3-1.
Raise the tine shield hinge flap assembly and insert the
depth stake assembly into the slot, under the tine shield
and up through the tine shield assembly.
Insert the clevis pin through the tine shield and depth
stake assemblies. Secure it with the cotter pin.
Insert the hex bolt into the top hole of the depth stake
assembly. Place the flat washer on the hex bolt and thread
the T-knob onto the hex bolt. Tighten securely. See Fig. 3-1.
