information and functions of the engine controls.
Clutch Lever
The clutch lever is located on the upper left handle.
Squeezing the lever against the handle engages the
tine drive. Release the lever to stop the tines.
Depth Stake
The depth stake acts as a brake for the tiller and
controls the depth and speed at which the machine
will operate.
Tines
The tines are used to cultivate, furrow and prepare
your garden for seeding.
Handle Adjustment Crank
The handle height may be adjusted. Loosen the crank
to change the position. Tighten the crank when the
desired height is achieved.
Starting & Stopping the Engine
WARNING! Read, understand, and follow
all the instructions and warnings posted
on the machine and in this manual before
operating.
WARNING! Be sure no one is standing in
front of the tiller while the engine is
running or being started.
1. Make sure that the tine clutch control is
disengaged and refer to the Engine Operator’s
Manual for engine starting and stopping
instructions.
Setting the Depth
