Engage Drive & Tines
1. 
For forward motion of the wheels and power to the tines pull 
the Forward Clutch Bail up against the handlebar. Release 
the bail to stop the forward motion of the wheels and tines.
2. 
When tilling, relax and let the wheels pull the machine while 
the tines dig. Walk behind and a little to one side of the tiller. 
Use one hand, yet keep a light — but secure — grip on the 
handlebar (while keeping your arm loose). See Fig. 5-2. Let 
the tiller move at its own pace and do not push down on the 
handlebars to try and force the tines to dig deeper — this 
takes weight off the wheels and reduces traction.

WARNING! 
Do not push down on the handlebars to try 
to make the tiller till more deeply. This prevents the wheels 
from holding the tiller back and can allow the tines to 
rapidly propel the tiller forward, which could result in loss of 
control, property damage, or personal injury.
3. 
To move in reverse:
a.  On models with reverse handle:
• 
Look behind and exercise caution when 
operating in reverse. Do not till while in reverse.
• 
Stop all forward motion. Lift the handlebar 
with one hand until the tines are off the ground 
and then pull the Reverse Handle back. To stop 
reversing, let go of the Reverse Handle.
• 
If longer distances need to be covered in reverse, 
shut off the engine, then place the two wheels in 
freewheel.
b.  On models without reverse handle:
• 
Release the forward clutch bail. Then lift the 
handlebar until the tines are off the ground. 
• 
Swing the handlebar to the left so the right 
wheel takes a “step” backward. Next swing the 
handlebar to the right so the left wheel “steps” 
backward. Repeat as needed.
• 
If longer distances need to be covered in 
reverse, shut off the engine, then place the two 
wheels in freewheel.
Turning the Tiller
Practice turning the tiller in a level, open area. Be very careful to 
keep your feet and legs away from the tines.
1. 
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. See Fig. 5-3.

2. 
With  the tiller balanced, push sideways on the handlebar 
to steer in the direction of the turn. See Fig. 5-3.
3. 
After turning, slowly lower the tines into the soil to resume 
tilling. See Fig. 5-3.
Clearing the Tines
The tines have a self-clearing action which eliminates most tangling 
of debris in the tines. However, occasionally dry grass, stringy stalks 
or tough vines may become tangled. Follow these procedures to 
help avoid tangling and to clean the tines, if necessary.
• 
To reduce tangling, set the depth regulator deep enough to 
get maximum “chopping” action as the tines chop the material 
against the ground. Also, try to till under crop residues or cover 
crops while they are green, moist and  tender.
• 
While tilling, try swaying the handlebars from side to side (about 
6” to 12”). This “fishtailing” action often clears the tines of debris. 
• 
If tangling occurs, lift the tines out of the soil and run the 
tiller in reverse for a few feet. This reversing action should 
unwind a good deal of debris.
WARNING! 
Before clearing the tines by hand, stop 
the engine, allow all moving parts to stop and 
disconnect the spark plug wire. Failure to follow this 
warning could result in personal injury.
Tilling Tips & Techniques
Tilling Depth
WARNING! 
Before tilling, contact your telephone or 
utilities company and inquire if underground equipment 
or lines are used on your property. Do not till near buried 
electric cables, telephone lines, pipes or hoses.
• 
This is a CRT (counter-rotating tine) tiller. As the wheels 
pull forward, the tines rotate backward. This creates an 
“uppercut” tine action which digs deeply, uprooting soil 
and weeds. Don’t overload the engine, but dig as deeply as 
possible on each pass. On later passes, the wheels may tend 
to spin in the soft dirt. Help them along by lifting up slightly 
on the handlebar (one hand, palm up, works most easily).
