To stop the cultivator: Release the throttle lever. Move the engine switch to the OFF ( O ) position. START LEVER START POSITION START LEVER Fig. 10 PRIMER BULB PREPARING THE SEED BED See Figure 13. The cultivator can be used to break up garden soil and prepare a seedbed for planting. Plan ahead to leave enough room between the seed rows to allow for machine cultivating after the plants have grown. With the wheel assembly accessory installed in position A as described on page 14, roll the machine to the work area. For general cultivating, remove or adjust the wheel assembly accessory using the guidelines in Adjusting Wheel Position on page 14. The drag bar has two installation positions to choose from. Based on the type of soil being cultivated and soil conditions at the time, the appropriate height of the drag bar will vary. Adjust the drag bar position using the guidelines in Adjusting Drag Bar Position on page 14. Stand behind the unit with the tines on the ground and the work area clean and free of obstructions. Completely engage the throttle lever to begin tine rotation. NOTE: If the machine moves forward too quickly and wheels are in position A or B with drag bar installed, push down on the handlebar to allow the drag bar to penetrate the soil and slow the forward motion of the unit. The rotating tines help to pull the machine forward, so use slower speeds and a shallow depth setting when learning to use the unit and when cultivating on hard, rough, or uneven ground. Always operate the unit at full throttle when cultivating. RUN POSITION Fig. 12 NOTE: Several passes over the same path may be required to reach the desired depth. Do not try to dig too deeply in the first pass. If the machine jumps or bucks, allow the unit to move forward at a slightly faster rate or install wheel assembly accessory.
