ADJUSTING TINE DEPTH

Tine adjustment will vary depending on the type of soil

being cultivated and how it will be used. Generally, it is

recommended to adjust the tines to break the soil 4 to 6

inches for most gardens. Adjust the tines as follows:

1. Stop the engine and disconnect the plug wire.

2. Loosen (do not remove) the two wing nuts on the

tine guard (Fig. 14).

3. Slide the wheel bracket assembly down for shallower

and up for deeper tine penetration.

4. Once the tines are in the desired position, tighten the

wing nuts, making sure that the carriage bolts are

seated properly through the bracket.

5. If the tine depth is not correct, repeat steps 2 to 4.
