OPERATION
The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before starting
your tiller and while tilling. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or
standard safety glasses.

and hold reverse tine control.
TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position
of the depth stake and wheel height.
The depth stake should always be below the wheels for
digging. It serves as a brake to slow the tiller’s forward
motion to enable the tines to penetrate the ground. Also,
the more the depth stake is lowered into the ground the
deeper the tines will dig.
DEPTH STAKE (See Fig. 6)
Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin clip and clevis
pin. Change depth stake to desired position. Replace the
clevis pin and hairpin dip.
» For normal tilling, set depth stake at the second orthird
hole from the top.
WHEELS (See Fig. 6)
Adjust wheels by removing the hairpin dip and clevis pin.
Change wheel position. Replace the hairpin dip and clevis
pin.
