engine when tilling is not being performed. Lowering the engine speed
to “idle” will help extend the life of the motor, as well as conserve fuel
and reduce the noise level of the equipment.

For normal tilling, set the throttle lever to “fast”.

to the off position. To stop wheels and tines at any time, release drive
