Adjusting the Drag Stake
The drag stake helps regulate cultivating depth and
prevents the cultivator from jerking forward during
operation. Set the drag stake in the lowest position
to increase resistance to forward motion and to dig
deeper.
1.
Move the machine to a level surface, shut off the
engine, and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2.
Remove the lock pin.
3.
Position the drag stake to the desired depth with
the tip pointing downward.
4.
Secure the drag stake with the lock pin.

Operating Tips
•
Inspect the area where you will use the cultivator
and remove all objects such as large rocks,
trash, and branches before cultivating to prevent
equipment damage.
•
The clutch transfers maximum power after about
2 hours of normal operation. During this break-in
period, the clutch may slip. Keep the clutch free of
oil and other moisture for efficient operation.
•
Always begin cultivating with the slowest ground
speed possible. Increase the speed if conditions
permit.
•
Do not place excessive body weight on the
cultivator. Use the weight of the machine to
cultivate more efficiently.
