HOW TO USE YOUR TILLER
When tilling sod or soil which has not been tilled
before, select a shallow tilling depth with the lift lever,
and use a slow ground speed. For further depth,
lower the lift lever and make several more passes over
the area, each time tilling at right angles to the
previous pass. See figure 16.
hen tilling loose soil, use a higher ground speed,
se the highest ground speed for pulverizing the soil
or for transporting the tiller.
For best results, always till the ground at least twice
(lengthwise, then widthwise) as shown in figure 16.

The adjustment ferrule oh the lift rod assembly
provides additional tilling depth adjustment. Recom­
mended adjustment is as follows.
1. Place lift lever in second position.
2. Place a board under the tines and adjust the
ferrule to fit into lift lever.
This adjustment provides approximately 3" ground
clearance with the lift lever in the highest position
(for transport).
Move the ferrule further back on the rod to reduce
the tilling depth.
