1. The tilling width of the cultivator is approximately 165 mm
(6.5 in.). Place cultivator in area to be tilled, hold unit firmly
with left hand on front grip and right hand on rear grip and
gradually engage throttle trigger. Guide the cultivator
allowing the tines to pullforward. The soil hardness will
control tilling speed.
2. The cultivator attachment is capable of tilling in the forward
or reverse direction. For deep soil tilling, till forward then
lightly pull unit rearward allowing the tines to make a deeper
cut into the soil. Deep soil cultivating can also be enhanced
by repositioning the tines. (Refer to Tine Setting).
3. To raise or aerate the soil, tilt engine closer to the ground
which will raise cultivator tines higher relative to the soil
surface.
Do not operate cultivator underwater. The gear housing is not
sealed and water will wash away lubrication, damaging gears,
bearings, and seals.
Resetting Tines for Deep Cultivation
The tines are factory assembled with blade ends offset for
standard cultivation. For deep cultivation, the left tine (viewed
from the operator's position) must be repositioned on the hub
aligning the left and right tine blade ends directly across from
each other.
