Scotts TC70105S User Manual

Use the tiller/cultivator for breaking sod, preparing
seed beds, and for cultivating gardens and flower
beds. The tiller/cultivator can also dig small holes for
planting saplings or potted plants.
For breaking sod or deep tilling, allow the tines to
pull the tiller/cultivator forward to the end of your
arm’s reach, then firmly pull it back toward yourself.
You will achieve the best results by repeatedly
allowing it to move forward and pulling it back.
By pulling the tiller/cultivator back towards yourself,
the tines will dig deeper and more aggressively.
To prevent tripping, take extra precautions when
moving backwards and when pulling the tiller/
cultivator back toward yourself.
If the tiller/cultivator digs deep enough to stay in one
spot, gently rock it side to side until it starts moving
forward again.
Never pass the tiller/cultivator over the extension
cord. Make sure the cord is always in a safe position
behind you.
When working on inclines always stand diagonally
to the incline to retain a firm, safe footing. Do not
work on extremely steep slopes.
For preparing seed beds, we recommend using one of
these tilling patterns:
Tilling Pattern A– Make two passes over area to be
tilled, the second at a right angle to the first.
Tilling Pattern B– Make two passes over area to be
tilled, the second overlapping the first.
Before use, remove any visible stones or other
foreign bodies from the area.
CAUTION: Before moving the tiller/cultivator from one
area to another switch off the motor and wait for the
tines to come to a complete stop. Be careful not to let
the tines touch the ground while moving the tiller/
cultivator. The tines as well as the unit itself may be
damaged even if the motor is switched off.
Clearing foreign objects:
During operation a stone or root could become lodged
in the tines, or tall grass or weeds may become
wrapped around the tine shaft. To clear the tines or
tine shaft release the trigger lever, wait for the tines to
come to a complete stop and unplug the tiller/
cultivator. Dislodge or remove the foreign matter from
the tines or tine shaft. To simplify removal of tall grass
or weeds from the tine shaft, remove one or more of
the tines. See Tine Removal and Installation.
