2.6.1. FORWARD/REVERSE: To transport the
Tiller to a new tilling site using its own power, raise
the tines to clear lawn and paved surfaces to
prevent gouging. Release the WHEEL and TINE
CONTROL BAIL and lift the rear of the Tiller to take
the weight off the DEPTH BAR (see Figure 7), then
push the DEPTH BAR downward into notch setting
that allows the tines to clear the ground surface.
Place the WHEEL and TINE SHIFT LEVER in FWD
or REV. Pull the WHEEL and TINE CONTROL
BAIL back against the handlebar to engage the
wheel drive and transport the unit.
2.6.2. To transport the Tiller to a new tilling site by
pushing it, place the WHEEL and TINE SHIFT
LEVER in the NEUTRAL position, and with the bail
released, push the unit with the handle bar. The
Tiller may be pushed with the engine running or
shut off.
