OPERATION TIPS

The cultivator can be used to break up garden soil and
prepare a seedbed for planting. Plan ahead to leave enough
room between the seed rows to allow for machine cultivating
after the plants have grown.
1. Several passes over the same path may be required to
reach the desired depth. Do not try to dig too deeply in
the first pass.
2. If the machine jumps or bucks, allow the unit to move
forward at a slightly faster rate or install wheel assembly.
3. If the cultivator stays and digs in at one spot, try rocking
it from side to side in order to start it moving forward
again.
4. If the soil is very hard, water a few days before
cultivating. Avoid working the soil when soggy or wet.
Wait a day or two after heavy rain for the ground to dry.
5. Shallow cultivating less than 5cm. deep can be used to
disrupt weeds and aerate soil, without injuring nearby
plant roots. It should be done often so that weeds do not
grow large and cause tangling in the tines of the unit.
