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.

Before clearing the tines by hand, stop 

the engine, allow all moving parts to stop and 

disconnect the spark plug wire. Remove the ignition 

key on electric start models. Failure to follow this 

warning could result in personal injury.

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).
Avoid the temptation to push down on the handlebars in 

an attempt to force the tiller to dig deeper. Doing so takes 

the weight off the powered wheels, causing them to lose 

traction. Without the wheels to hold the tiller back, the 

tines will attempt to propel the tiller backward, towards 

the operator.

When cultivating (breaking up surface soil around plants 

to destroy weeds, see Fig. 4-9), adjust the tines to dig only 

1” to 2” deep. Using shallow tilling depths helps prevent 

injury to the plants whose roots often grow close to the 

surface. If needed, lift up on the handlebars slightly to 

prevent the tines from digging too deeply. (Cultivating on a 

regular basis not only eliminates weeds, it also loosens and 

aerates the soil for better moisture absorption and faster 

plant growth.) Watering the garden area a few days prior 

to tilling will make tilling easier, as will letting the newly 

worked soil set for a day or two before making a final, deep 

tilling pass.

With experience, you will find the tilling depth and tilling speed 

combination that is best for your garden. Set the engine throttle 

lever at a speed to give the engine adequate power and yet 

allow it to operate at the slowest possible speed until you have 

achieved the maximum tilling depth you desire. Faster engine 

speeds may be desirable when making final passes through the 

seedbed or when cultivating. Selection of the correct engine 

speed, in relation to the tilling depth, will ensure a sufficient 

power level to do the job without causing the engine to labor.
