Move throttle control to "SLOW" position and allow the engine to run slowly for cool down. 3. Turn the engine switch to the "OFF" Position. 4. Turn the fuel valve lever to the "OFF" Position. NOTE: Never use choke to stop engine. IMPORTANT: To stop engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the OFF position. Tine Control "Off" (UP) Position I//// TILLING The speed and depth of tilling is regulated by the position of the depth stake and wheel height. The depth stake should always be below the wheels for digging. It serves as a brake to slow the tiller's forward motion to enable the tines to penetrate the ground. Also, the more the depth stake is lowered into the ground the deeper the tines will dig. DEPTH STAKE Adjust depth stake by removing the hairpin clip and clevis pin. Change depth stake to desired position. Replace the clevis pin and hairpin clip. • For normal tilling, set depth stake at the second or third hole from the top.
