The operation of any tiller can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye
shields before starting your tiller and while tilling. We recommend standard
safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

TINE OPERATION
• Squeeze tine control to handle.
TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is regulated
by the position of the depth stake and
wheel height.
The depth stake should always be below the
wheels for digging. It serves as a brake to
slow the tiller's forward motion to enable the
tines to penetrate the ground. Also, the more
the depth stake is lowered into the ground
the deeper the tines will dig.
DEPTH STAKE
Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin
clip and clevis pin. Change depth stake to
desired position. Replace the clevis pin and
hairpin clip.
• For normal tilling, set depth stake at the
second or third hole from the top.
TO TRANSPORT
_CAUTION: Before lifting or transporting,
allow tiller engine and muffler to cool. Dis-
connect spark plug wire. Drain gasoline
from fuel tank.
AROUND THE YARD
1. Tip depth stake forward until it is held by
the stake spring.
