Reverse Handle
The Reverse Handle controls the reverse drive of the wheels and tines.
Forward Clutch Bail & Tine Engagement
The forward clutch bail controls the engagement of the forward
drive of the wheels and tines.
Depth Regulator Lever
This lever controls the tilling depth of the tines. Pull the lever back
and slide it up or down to engage the notched height settings.
Handlebar Height Adjustment
The handlebar height is adjustable to three different settings. In
general, adjust the handlebars so they are at waist level when the
tines are 3-4” in the ground.
Rear Tine Shield
The rear tine shield protects the operator from flying debris
while also smoothing out freshly tilled soil.
Side Shield
The side shield is used to maintain clear even rows and may be
adjusted to one of five different positions.
Tines
Your tiller’s tines are a series of hoes arranged on a revolving
power-driven shaft.
Wheel Drive Pins
Each wheel is equipped with a wheel drive click pin that secures
the wheel to the wheel shaft. The wheels can be positioned in
either a WHEEL DRIVE or a FREEWHEEL mode.
