HOW TO USE YOUR TILLER

Know how to operate all controls before adding fuel and oil

or attempting to start engine.

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 for over spectacles or standard

safety glasses.

STOPPING (See Fig. 5)

TINES

• Release forward tine control to stop forward move-

ment.

• Release reverse tine control to stop reverse move-

ment.

ENGINE

• Move throttle control to “STOP” position.
• Never use choke to stop engine.

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 clip.
•

For normal tilling, set depth stake at the second or third

hole from the top.

WHEELS (See Fig. 6)
Adjust wheels by removing the hairpin clip and clevis pin.

Change wheel position. Replace the hairpin clip and clevis

pin.
• For normal tilling, set wheels at the second or third

hole from the top.
