Rotating tines are capable of pulling or pushing the prime mover depending on tine rotation For finish tilling operation it is recommended the Roto Tiller be operated while driving in reverse with the tines rotating in a clockwise direction when viewed from the left side of the machine Due to the offset mounting configuration this will allow the right tracks to be covered as the prime mover moves in reverse finishing the tilling operation Tilling should not be done in wet conditions as soil will stick to the tines There are several conditions that will cause the Roto Tiller to walk up onto the top of the ground and push pull the prime mover The most common is traveling too fast and low engine RPM tines moving to slowly for ground conditions If you have increased the engine RPM and decreased travel speed and the Roto Tiller continues to walk up check the tines Make sure the cutting edge is still sharp and all tines are intact TINE ROTATION The FFC Roto Tiller can be operated while traveling in forward or reverse and the tines rotating in either direction Although standard direction of rotation is for the tines to rotate in the same direction the prime mover is traveling reversing the tine rotation has been noted to bury debris better STANDARD TINE ROTATION REVERSE TINE ROTATION DIRECTION OF TRAVEL DIRECTION OF TRAVEL DIRECTION OF TRAVEL DIRECTION OF TRAVEL X gt V 7 V KI
