Throttle
The Throttle controls the engine speed. To increase
engine speed raise (Push-Up) lever, to decrease
lower (Pull-Down) lever. Moving throttle to the
“STOP” position will shut off engine. Set Throttle at its
fastest position when starting (refer to engine
manufacturers instructions).
In order to become familiar with the tiller, when first
operating it, use lowest engine speed that will still
give sufficient power to operate. After you become
familiar with tiller increase throttle to ‘FAST” position
for best tilling results.
Choke Control
The Choke Control limits the amount of air entering
the engine to aid in starting.
Fuel Shut Off Valve
Check that fuel shut off valve is in the open (on)
position for starting and operation. Turn the valve to
the “OFF” position when transporting unit on a trailer
or in a truck.
Recoil Starter Handle
The recoil starter handle is used to start the engine.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT let starter handle snap
against starter.

Controls and Features (Continued)
Ground and Tine Speed
Tiller comes with Drive Belt(s) in low speed groove(s)
of pulley(s). Low speed is best for heavy tilling.
Moving belt(s) to high speed groove(s) allows faster
tine and wheel speed for moving tiller to and from
garden, cultivating or breaking up last bits of soil in
final pass.
To change speed, follow instructions in Adjustments
Section.
Handlebar Height
Handlebars should be set to a safe comfortable tilling
height. See Adjustments Section.
Handlebar Swivel Position
Handlebars may be positioned center, right or left. To
move Handlebars pull back on the Handlebar Swivel
Lever and swing Handlebars to desired position,
release Lever and latch will lock in position by spring
pressure.
Depth Control
CAUTION: Do not adjust tilling depth
with tines rotating. Release Main
Clutch levers to the “NEUTRAL”
position before changing tilling depth.
Tilling depth is controlled by grasping Depth Control
Handle, squeezing trigger, positioning Drag Bar at
desired height and releasing trigger to engage
appropriate notch in bar. Lower handle and engage
bottom notch for transporting tiller (with tines
disengaged). To increase tilling depth raise Tiller
Depth Control Handle.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload tiller by attempting
to till too deep at too fast a rate.
Tilling Width
Tines can be adjusted to till from 19-24”. See
Adjustments .
