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.

TILLING
The speed and depth of tilling is regu-
lated by the position of the depth stake
and wheel height.
The depth stake should always be below
the wheels for digging. Itserves as a
brake to slow the tiUer'sforward motion to
enable the tines to penetrate the ground.
Also, the more the depth stake is lowered
intothe ground the deeper the tines will
dig.

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.
