CAUTION
Always release drive safety control levers to neutral
position before adjusting the depth regulator lever.
Practice operating the controls and tiller with tines out
of ground before beginning to till. It is important that
you know how to use the tiller properly, how to keep
control at all times, how to stop the tines and wheels
from turning, and how to stop the engine if necessary.
If you do not know how to do these things, read the
Controls, Adjustments and Safety sections before
proceeding.
