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

upeful

labor

saving

tasks

in

the

garden.

With

the

proper

amount

of

care

and

maintenance,

this

machine

will

provide

the

owner

with

many

years

of

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,

which

is

essential

for

proper

engine

operation.

This

adjustment

is

made

by

remov¬

ing

the

clevis

pin

and

hairpin

clip

from

wheel

yoke,

rais¬

ing

the

wheels

to

the

desired

height,

and

replacing

the

clevis

pin

and

hairpin

clip.

SWINGING

TAILPIECE/DEPTH

STAKE

The

entire

tailpiece

and

depth

stake

can

be

either

locked

in

position

or

allowed

to

swing

freely.

The

tailpiece

and

depth

stake

are

used

in

the

unlocked

posi¬

tion

when

it

is

necessary

to

maneuver

in

small

a

eas.

To

lock,

line

up

the

holes

in

the

rear

frame

with

the

holes

in

the

tailpiece,

and

push

in

the

short

end

c

f

the

U-clevis

pin.

To

allow

the

tailpiece

and

depth

sta

ce

to

swing,

pull

out

the

U-clevis

pin

and

place

it

in

th<

Depth

Stake

Adjustment:

The

depth

stake

acts

as

a

brake

for

the

tiller

and

controls

the

depth

and

speed

at

which

the

machine

will

operate.

Remove

the

clevis

pin

and

hairpin

clip

to

raise

or

lower

depth

stake.

See

figure

16.

By

increasing

the

depth

of

the

depth

stake,

the

for¬

ward

speed

of

the

machine

is

reduced,

and

the

working

depth

is

increased.

See

figure

19.

When

the

depth

stake

is

raised,

the

working

depth

of

the

machine

is

reduced

and

the

forward

speed

is

in¬

creased.

The

working

depth

of

the

machine

may

be

predetermined

by

setting

the

depth

stake

and

wheels

so

that

the

wheels

are

about

four

inches

from

the

ground

when

the

tines

and

depth

stake

are

resting

on

the

ground.

This

setting

will

permit

a

working

depth

of

about

four

inches.

When

preset¬

ting

the

working

depth,

the

handles

should

be

ad¬

justed

so

the

hand

grips

are

a

little

above

waist

height

because

the

tiller

will

be

lower

when

the

tines

and

depth

stake

penetrate

the

ground.
