OPERATING TIPS
1. Move the cultivator to the work area prior to starting the engine.
Refer to Moving the Unit.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, never pick
up or carry the unit while the engine is running.
2. Start the unit as described in the Starting Instructions.
3. Tilt the unit back until the tines clear the ground.
4. With the tines off the ground, squeeze the throttle control to
increase the engine speed.
5. Hold the handlebar firmly with both hands and slowly lower the
unit until the tines make contact with the ground (Fig. 11).
6. As cultivating action begins, pull back on the cultivator so that
the tines can penetrate the ground.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, use extreme
caution when reversing or pulling the unit towards you.
7. Once the ground has been broken, continue at a moderate pace
until you are familiar with the controls and the handling of the
cultivator.
8. Pull the cultivator backwards to improve the depth of cultivation
and reduce your effort.
9. If the tines are digging too deep or not deep enough, adjust
them according to Adjusting the Tine Depth.
ADJUSTING THE TINE DEPTH
The tines should penetrate most garden soils approximately 4 to 5
inches. If necessary, adjust the tines as follows:
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Grasp the spark plug wire
firmly and pull the cap from the spark plug.
2. Raise the wheel height for shallower tine penetration or lower
the wheel height for deeper tine penetration. Refer to Adjusting
the Wheel Assembly in the Assembly Instructions section.
3. Reconnect the spark plug wire and continue use.
