4.2 Tilling Techniques
For best results, follow these guidelines:
- Begin tilling in an area with softer soil, gradually moving to harder sections.
- Allow the tiller to work at its own pace. Do not force it into the soil.
- For deeper cultivation, make multiple passes over the same area, gradually increasing the depth.
- Overlap each pass slightly to ensure even tilling.

- Tine Inspection: Periodically inspect the steel tines for wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged tines immediately to maintain performance and safety.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store fully discharged batteries for extended periods.
