Operation
Starting & Stopping the Engine
Read, understand, and follow all the instructions and warnings posted on the
machine and in this manual before operating.
Be sure no one is standing in front of the tiller while the engine is running or
being started.
1. Make sure that the tine clutch control is disengaged and refer to the Engine
Operator's Manual for engine starting and stopping instructions.
Engaging the Drive & Tines
1. For forward motion of the wheels and power to the tines pull the Forward
Clutch Bail up against the handlebar.
2. When tilling, relax and let the wheels pull the machine while the tines dig. Walk
slowly behind the tiller allowing it to move at its own pace while keeping a secure
grip on the handlebar with your elbows flexed.
3. Release the bail to stop the forward motion of wheels and tines.
Turning the Tiller
1. Practice turning the tiller in a level, open area. Be very careful to keep your
feet and legs away from the tines.
2. To begin a turn, lift the handlebars until the tines are out of the ground and
the engine and tines are balanced over the wheels.
3. With the tiller balanced, push sideways on the handlebar to steer in the
direction of the turn. After turning, slowly lower the tines into the soil to
resume tilling.
Setting the Depth
Be certain spark plug wire is disconnected and grounded against the
engine when performing any adjustments.
