REVERSE LEVER (See Figure 10) Engages wheels and tines into reverse. Pulling the drive safety control lever (REVERSE) toward the handlebar reverses tiller. Releasing the lever stops the wheels and tines. Reverse Lever Engaged Reverse Lever Figure 10 Forward Lever Engaged Figure 9 Questions?

EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD bE USED WHEN OPERATING TILLER IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION. WHEEL LOCK PINS (See Figures 2 and 11) Place wheels in tilling position. 1. 2. pin to axle. 3. Firmly lock wheel and axle together before tilling. 4. Repeat for other wheel. WARNING Always have both wheel lock pins in or out. Do not operate tiller with only one wheel locked. To place wheels in free-wheel position. 1. Remove lock pin. Slide wheel inward toward machine. 2. Insert pin in axle only, fold lock pin ring to secure pin to axle. 3. Wheel should turn freely on axle. HANDLEBAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (See Figure 4) Adjust handlebar height. The ideal height of the handlebar varies with operator height and the depth of tilling. To adjust handlebar height: 1. Unscrew nuts and remove top bolts on each side. 2. Loosen the lower bolts. Do not remove. 3. Align handlebar to desired holes on the lower handlebar mount. 4. Install bolts and nuts. Retighten all four bolts securely. DEPTH REGULATOR LEVER (See Figure 3) Tilling depth is controlled by the height of the depth regulator lever. To adjust tilling depth: 1. Remove detent pin. 2. Raise the depth regulator lever to position tines at chosen tilling depth. 3. Align hole in depth regulator lever with hole in depth regulator bracket and replace detent pin. Depth Regulator Lever Down = Shallower tilling. Place the detent pin in the top hole of the depth regulator lever for shallowest tilling. Depth Regulator Lever Up = Deeper tilling. Place the detent pin in the bottom hole of the depth regulator lever for deepest tilling. Remove lock pin. Align hole in axle with hole in wheel hub. Insert lock pin through holes, fold lock pin ring to secure Wheel lock pin in free-wheel position (axle holes only) FRONT Figure 11 WARNING DO NOT ADJUST TILLING DEPTH UNLESS DRIVE SAFETY CONTROL LEVERS ARE RELEASED TO NEUTRAL POSITION. ALWAYS SET THE DEPTH REGULATOR LEVER IN THE TRANSPORT POSITION bEFORE STARTING ENGINE, THAT IS, PLACE THE DETENT PIN IN THE HIGHEST HOLE OF THE DEPTH REGULATOR LEVER. Questions?

I BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT (See Figure 12) Proper belt tension is critical to good performance. After 1/2 hour of operation, all cables may have to be adjusted due to initial stretch. Thereafter, check tension after every 2 hours of operation. TO INCREASE BELT TENSION 1. Loosen upper jam nut. Turn nut up cable in 1/8” increments. 2. Tighten lower jam nut. 3. Check adjustment. TO DECREASE BELT TENSION 1. Loosen lower jam nut. Turn nut down cable in 1/8” increments. 2. Tighten upper jam nut. 3. Check adjustment. This procedure can be repeated until conduit adjustment bolts are fully adjusted. If no more adjustment can be made, belt may have to be replaced. Forward Cable Reverse Cable Upper Jam Nut Lower Jam Nut Figure 12 Tilling Tips J 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 detent pin in the highest hole of the depth regulator lever (follow instructions under Tilling section). This will allow for shallow tilling. With the drag stake 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 drag stake by placing the detent 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. WARNING Immediately release the drive control levers if the tines jam or you strike a foreign object. With drive control levers in neutral position, stop the engine. Disengage the spark plug wire. When tines have stopped, remove foreign objects and check for damage. WARNING EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN IN SELECTING TILLING DEPTH. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO TILL TOO DEEPLY FOR SOIL CONDITIONS, THAT IS, WITH THE DEPTH REGULATOR LEVER IN TOO HIGH A POSITION, LOSS OF CONTROL COULD RESULT. IF REMOVING MATERIAL FROM THE TINES bY HAND, STOP ENGINE AND REMOVE SPARK PLUG WIRE FIRST. Cultivating Tips K If you plan to use your tiller for cultivating: • Plant rows on 20" - 22" centers for ease of turning. • Set t...
