CAUTION
Do not operate both “FORWARD” and “REVERSE” drive

this section and all operating and safety instructions before
starting your tiller.
As a safety precaution, the drive safety control levers will
not lock in the forward or reverse position.
WARNING
Do not x the forward or reverse drive levers in the drive
position by any other means than manually using your right
hand. Do not tie or otherwise secure the levers in the drive

To stop the wheels and tines at any time release the drive
safety control levers.

complete stop.
