McCulloch MC550 Manuales De Servicio

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.

TILLING

The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position

of the depth stake.
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. 7)
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.
