6. Move the throttle control to SLOW when
transporting the tiller. When the tiller is
being moved to or from the garden, the depth
should be pivoted forward until it engages the
drag stake retainer clip. The machine may be
moved under its own power, without seriously
damaging grass areas as long as it is allowed
to move freely. If the operator holds back, it
will start to dig.

hair pin cotter, changing stake position, then
replacing hair pin cotter and clevis pin. See
figure 15.
A. Lowering the drag stake will slow the
tiller and make it till deeper.
B. Raising the drag stake will allow the
tiller to move faster and till shallower.
