Troubleshooting
Cultivator is difficult to twist in the soil.
Ensure the soil is not overly compacted. If necessary, water the area before use to soften the soil. Apply more downward pressure and use a more deliberate twisting motion.
The fixing screws come loose.
Check and tighten the screws before each use. If the screws are damaged, replace them with similar ones.
