We will assume that you have checked the oil level, and the fuel tank is full. Once you have established the tiller is ready for use, turn the on lever from OFF to ON. After this, you will need to engage the choke. You should then start the engine by pulling on to the recoil cord. The engine should start instantaneously. Once the engine starts running, push the choke handle in to disengage the choke. The sound of the engine will change to a more harmonious tune. Using the lower handles, engage the tines, and start tilling. For the tillers with adjustable legs, you will not have a hard time turning a corner or a bend.
