HOW

TO

USE

YOUR

TILLER

The

tiller

is

a

precision

built

machine

designed

for

seed

bed

preparation,

cultivating,

furrowing

and

mulching.

It

is

engineered

to

minimize

the

hardest

work

in

the

vegetable

or

flower

garden,

to

till

the

soil

for

planting

and

cultivating,

and

to

perform

many

other

useful

labor

saving

tasks

in

the

garden.

With

the

proper

amount

of

care

and

maintenance,

this

machine

will

provide

the

owner

with

many

years

of

excellent

service.

WHEEL

POSITION

The

tiller

is

shipped

with

the

wheels

adjusted

such

that

the

unit

sits

level.

During

digging

as

the

tines

enter

the

ground

and

the

front

of

the

tiller

lowers,

the

wheels

must

be

raised

to

level

the

unit.

This

is

essential

for

proper

engine

operation.

This

adjustment

is

made

by

removing

the

clevis

pin

and

hairpin

cotter

from

wheel

yoke,

raising

the

wheels

to

the

desired

height,

and

replacing

the

clevis

pin

and

hairpin

cotter.

This

will

increase

2.

Depth

Bar

Adjustment:

The

depth

bar

acts

as

a

brake

for

the

tiller

and

controls

the

depth

and

speed

at

which

the

machine

will

operate.

See

figure

17.

Remove

the

clevis

pin

and

spring

pin

to

raise

or

lower

depth

bar.

FIGURE

17.

By

increasing

the

depth

of

the

depth

bar,

the

forward

speed

of

the

machine

is

reduced,

and

the

working

depth

is

increased.

When

the

depth

bar

is

raised,

the

working

depth

of

the

machine

is

reduced

and

the

forward

speed

is

increased.

The

working

depth

of

the

machine

may

be

predetermined

by

setting

the

depth

bar

and

wheels

so

that

the

wheels

are

about

four

inches

from

the

ground

when

the

tines

and

depth

bar

are

resting

on

the

ground.

This

setting

will

permit

a

working

depth

of

about

four

inches.

Use

maximum

engine

speed

for

deep

tilling.

When

presetting

the

working

depth,

the

handles

should

be

a

little

above

waist

height

because

the

tiller

will

be

lower

when

the

tines

and

depth

bar

penetrate

the

ground.

The

best

method

will

be

determined

by

the

soil

condition.

In

some

soils,

the

desired

depth

is

obtained

the

first

time

over

the

garden.

In

other

soils,

the

desired

depth

is

obtained

by

going

over

the

garden

two

or

three

times.

In

the

latter

case,

the

depth

bar

should

be

lowered

before

each

succeeding

pass

over

the

garden.

Passes

should

be

made

across

the

length

and

width

of

the

garden

alternately.

Rocks

which

are

turned

up

should

be

removed

from

the

garden

area.

3.

Handle

Pressure:

Further

control

of

tilling

depth

and

travel

speed

can

be

obtained

by

variation

of

pressure

on

the

handles.

A

downward

pressure

on

the

handles

will

reduce

the

working

depth

and

increase

the

9

forward

speed.

An

upward

pressure

ot

the

handles

will

increase

the

working

depti

and

reduce

the

forward

speed.

The

type

of

scil

and

working

conditions

will

determine

the

c.ctual

setting

of

the

depth

bar

and

the

handle

pressure

required.

4.

Throttle

Control:

The

throttle

control

lever

is

located

on

the

right

side

of

handle

pan

jl.

NOTE

Right

hand

side

is

determined

from

the

operator’s

position

standing

be¬

hind

the

tiller.

The

throttle

control

lever

adjusts

the

engine

speed.

It

also

gives

fingertip

control

of

the

car¬

buretor

and

magneto

stop

switch.

With

the

throt¬

tle

control

knob

pushed

completely

forward,

the

carburetor

is

in

“START”

position.

Pullirg

the

throttle

control

back

slightly

adjusts

the

engine

speed

to

“FAST.”

Pulling

the

throttle

back

further

reduces

the

engine

speed

to

“SLOW.”

Whun

the

throttle

is

pulled

completely

back,

the

megneto

stop

switch

grounds

out

the

spark

and

sto

)s

the

engine.

Use

maximum

engine

speed

for

deep

tilling

Move

the

throttle

control

to

slow

when

transporti

lg

the

tiller.

When

the

tiller

is

being

moved

to

or

from

the

garden,

the

depth

bar

should

be

pivoted

forward

until

it

engages

the

depth

bar

spring

pin.

The

machine

may

be

moved

under

its

own

power,

without

damaging

grass

areas

as

long

an

it

is

allowed

to

move

freely.

If

the

operator

holds

back,

it

will

start

to

dig.

CULTIVATING

For

cultivating,

a

two

to

three

inch

depth

is

desirable.

Setting

the

wheels

and

depth

bar

so

that

the

wheels

are

about

two

inches

abo

'e

the

ground

while

the

tiller

is

resting

on

the

tine

s

and

depth

bar

will

allow

the

machine

to

work

at

cultivating

depth.

The

throttle

should

be

set

to

control

forward

movement

to

a

slow

walking

speed.

With

standard

tines,

the

working

width

of

the

machine

is

26

inches.

For

cultivation,

this

may

be

reduced

to

14

inches

by

removing

the

outer

tines.

See

figures

18

and

19.

FIGURE

19.

When

laying

out

plant

rows,

be

sure

to

allow

enough

width

to

permit

cultivation

between

the

rows.

In

growing

corn

or

similar

crops,

check-row

planting

will

permit

cross

cultivation

and

prac¬

tically

eliminate

hand

hoeing.

The

tiller

has

many

uses

other

than

tilling

and

cultivating

a

garden.

One

of

these

is

the

prepara¬

tion

of

lawn

area

for

seeding.

The

tiller

will

prepare

a

deep

seed

bed

which

will

be

free

of

hard

untilled

spots,

allowing

a

better

stand

of

grass

to

grow.

The

tiller

is

very

useful

for

loosening

hard

soil

for

excavation

with

a

shovel.

No

tedious

hand

pickwork

will

be

necessary.

Your

tiller

may

be

used

for

mixing

compost

in

the

pile,

or

for

mixing

it

with

the

soil

in

your

garden.

This

should

be

done

after

the

soil

has

been

broken

to

the

full

working

depth.

The

compost

should

be

worked

in

to

a

depth

of

six

to

eight

inches.

This

may

be

done

by

working

the

length

of

the

garden,

and

then

by

mix¬

ing

separate

passes

across

its

width.

The

addition

of

decayed

organic

matter

will

substantially

in¬

crease

the

fertility

of

your

garden.

For

proper

decaying

action,

fertilizer

should

be

applied

and
