The key to successful tilling is to begin with a shallow cut on
the
first
pass,
and
then
work
an inch or two deeper on each
successive pass.
Tilling depth will vary with ground conditions.
When beginning to till in unbroken ground or in extremely hard
soil, set the cleves pin in the highest hole of the depth
regulator. This will allow for shallow tilling. With the depth
regulator in this position, make several light passes over the
area to be tilled. Reset for deeper depths with successive
passes.
If tiller jumps or skids uncontrollably, lower the depth
regulator by placing the cleves pin in a higher hole. This will
allow for shallower tilling. Hold firmly to the handlebars to
control sudden lurches.
If weeds, tall grasses, vines, or other materials clog or jam the
tines, reverse the tiller to unwind vegetation.
Immediately release the drive control levers if the tines jam or
you strike a foreign object. With the drive control levers in the
neutral position, push throttle control to the stop position to
stop the engine. Disengage the spark plug wire. When tines
have stopped, remove foreign objects and check for damage.
CULTIVATING
Plant rows on 20" - 22" centers for ease of turning.
Set the depth regulator lever with the detent pin in one
of the higher holes. This will allow for shallow cultivation
necessary to turn over weeds, and break up and aerate
the soil.

□ If operating equipment with engines regularly at altitudes over
5,000 feet, the carburetor’s air-fuel mixture will be too rich
and emmissions may increase. On engines not built for the
United States the carburetor can be adjusted to operate under
this condition. The carburetor should be returned to its normal
setting
if regular operation is less than 5,000 feet. Contact
your service center to modify the carburetor.
