5. To stop the tines and the wheels from
turn-
ing, just
lift
or
tap the FOl'V{ard/Neutral/Re-
verse Lever into
Neutral-see
Photo 5/4. Your
tiller is in Neutral when the roller is anywhere
on the flat vertical surface
of
the block, just so
long
as
you are
not
holding the lever
up
in the
Reverse position.
4.
Now,
if
you push the Forward/Neutral/Re-
verse Lever down into Forward position, the
tiller
will start moving along
the
ground
by its
powered wheels. See Photo 5/3.
Naturally you should
not
lower the tines with
the depth regulator until
you are prepared
to
dig
up
the soil, so
do
your
practice
with
the
depth regulator set in the "travel
position"-
tines
off
the ground.

It's a very
good
idea
to
take a few moments
to
operate the
tiller
without
the tines
doing
any
digging. Just run the
tiller
back and forth and
practice movement
of
the controls
for
a few
moments
befor~
you
start
to
till in the garden.
4.
Have worked the
tiller
controls
without
the
engine running and understand what each does.
5.
Have read the Safety Precautions in Section
3,
pages 37 and 38.
