White Outdoor 450 Manual Do Utilizador

Tilling depth is controlled by the depth stake which can be 
adjusted to five different settings. Adjust the side shields 
as you adjust the depth stake.

•  When using the tiller for the first time, use the second 

adjustment hole from the top (1” of tilling depth). See 
Figure 7.

•  When breaking up sod and for shallow cultivation, use 

the setting which gives 1” of tilling depth (second hole 
from the top). Place the side shields in their lowest 
position.

•  For further depth, raise the depth stake and side 

shields and also make one or two more passes over 
the area.

•  When tilling loose soil, the depth stake may be raised 

to its highest position (use bottom adjustment hole) to 
give the deepest tilling depth. Raise the side shields to 
their highest position.

•  To transport tiller, lower the depth stake (use top 

adjustment hole).

Gas And Oil Fill-Up

Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in 
the separate engine manual packed with your tiller. Read 
instructions carefully.

push primer two (2) or three (3) times. Wait about two 
(2) seconds between each push.
