1. Walk the electric cultivator through the soil at a normal
pace and in as straight a line as possible. Move the unit
slowly forward and back in a rocking motion, rst pulling it
backward then letting it “crawl” forward a little. Repeat this
motion to till deeper into soil.
2. Always till away from the electrical outlet. Ensure the
extension cord is kept away from the work area.
3. Do not try to till to deeply or force the unit into soil that is
extremely hard or resistant.
Note: Overloading the machine will cause it to shut
down. If this occurs the machine will not operate until
the motor has completely cooled down. This is normal
and will reset itself.
4. Always maintain a rm grip on the electric cultivator.
5. Lift the electric cultivator over hard surfaces. Do not lift or
drag the electric cultivator when the motor is running.
