Depth Control
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload tiller by attempting to
till too deep at too fast a rate.
NOTE: Tilling depth varies with ground conditions.
GROUND AND TINE SPEED

of pulley. Low speed is best for heavy tilling. Move belt
to high speed groove for faster tine and wheel speed
for cultivating or breaking up last bits of soil in final
pass.
See Service and Adjustments to change speed.
TILLING WIDTH
To till the minimum width, remove the two outer tine
sets by removing the four nuts and bolts that hold them
to the tine spool.
