Adjustments
Wheels
The tiller is shipped with the wheels adjusted so
that the machine sits level. The wheels need to
be adjusted to meet your tilling needs before
operation. This adjustment is made by removing
the clevis pin from the chain case bracket and
raising the wheels to the desired height. See
Figure 3-8.
Depth Stake
The depth stake can also be set to adjust the
tilling depth. To raise or lower the depth stake,
remove the clevis pin and cotter pin, place the
depth stake in the desired position and reinstall
the hardware. See Figure 3-8.
NOTE: See the Operation section for more
information.

forward clutch cables must be checked.
1.
Disconnect and ground the spark plug
wire against the engine.
