6.10.2 Tilling Depth Adjustment
The procedure is the opposite of what many people first would believe. For the deepest soil
penetration, you raise the depth controlling "knife" by pinning the bar in the bottom hole
(see drawing).
1. Remove the hairpin and the clevis pin from the bracket and bar.
2. Raise or lower the bar handle to align the holes in the bar and brackets. Pin the bar at
desired setting, or as recommended in step 3.
3. In hard ground, as when tilling a patch of ground for the first time, pin the depth
adjustment rod through the top hole for a shallow cut.
After a pass or two to break up the hard top crust, stop the engine and pin the depth
adjustment bar through the lower position hole.
Pinning the bar through the bottom holes raises the depth-gauging "knife" for maximum
tilling depth.
Warning – Obstruction such as rocks and tree roots in the soil can cause ”blade breakage /
bending where the machine suddenly jerks or leaps forward. Do not try to control the unit
in this type of condition Just let it go and the machine will stop.
6.10.3 Tilling Suggestions
1. When breaking new ground or preparing hard,
rocky soil, till at a maximum depth at the lowest
gear setting and at a fast throttle setting.
In soft soil you can probably start right off tilling at
maximum depth and are achieved in the lowest
gear speeds.
2. You can avoid trampling over and tamping the
fresh tilled rows by walking to one side of the tiller.
Swing the handlebar to the side and adjust it to a
comfortable height. After a bit of practice with the
tiller, you can work out a pattern where your
footprints will be erased with each new pass.
