CULTIVATING
Cultivating is destroying the weeds be-
 tween rows to pre vent them from robbing 
nourishment and moisture from the plants. 
At the same time, breaking up the upper 
layer of soil crust will help retain moisture 
in the soil. Best digging depth is 1" to 3" 
(2.5-7.5 cm).  Lower the outer side shields 
to protect small plants from being buried.
•   Cultivate up and down the rows at a 
speed which will allow tines to uproot 
weeds and leave the ground in rough 
condition, promoting no further growth 
of weeds and grass. 
TINE SHEAR PINS
The tine assemblies on your tiller are 
se cured to the tine shaft with shear pins 
(See “TINE REPLACEMENT” in the 
Ser vice and Ad just ments section of this 
man u al).  
If the tiller is unusually overloaded or 
jammed, the shear pins are designed to 
break before internal damage occurs to 
the trans mis sion.
•   If shear pin(s) break, replace only with 
those shown in the Repair Parts sec tion 
of this manual.
