De pending on the climate (rainfall and wind), it may be advisable to till the soil at the end of the growing season to further condition the soil. Avoid tilling the soil that is too dry as the soil pulverizes and produces a dust that will not hold water. Also, tilling soil that is too wet will produce unsatisfactory clods besides being hard on the machine. Better growth will be obtained in tilled ground if a rela tively small area is tilled properly and the tilled ground used soon after tilling to preserve the moisture content. The depth rod (on the back of the tiller/cultivator) serves a dual purpose (See FIG. It helps regulate thedepth of the cut to a uniform level and also acts as a brake to help the operator control the speed of the tiller/cultivator. [. . . ] With the engine running, release the throttle control (idle position) to make the mixture adjustments. Turn the mixture adjusting screw slowly counterclockwise until the engine starts to sputter. Turn the mixture adjusting screw clockwise until it is halfway between the first position where the engine faltered and the second position where the engine started to sputter. The idle speed may need to be adjusted after making the mixture adjustment. [. . . ]
