STEP 5 Raise the tiller and remove the blocks. Lower the tiller to the ground. STEP 6 With the tractor at idle RPM and the tiller lifted off of the ground, engage PTO and slowly advance throttle to 540 PTO RPM. NOTE: Rotary tiller is designed to run at 540 PTO RPM only. STEP 7 Select a low gear for the tractor and begin to move forward. Tractor ground speed is to be controlled by gear selection only and not engine speed. As the tractor moves forward, slowly lower the tiller down. Allow the tiller tines to gradually engage the ground. NOTE: Do not allow the tractor engine or rotary tiller to bog down or stall. This causes undue wear and tear on the tiller and tractor. If this continues to happen reduce ground speed and raise tilling depth of rotary tiller. Never attempt to remove objects from the rotor bar until the tractor has been shut down and the tiller tines have completely stopped. WARNING Never travel at a fast ground speed while using the tiller, this could damage it. Never attempt to turn the tractor or travel in reverse with the PTO engaged and the tiller in the ground. Always raise the tiller out of the ground when backing up or attempting to turn. Failure to due so may cause damage to the tiller. STEP 8 After each use clean all debris from the tiller tines. Replace any missing or illegible safety decals. Inspect for any damaged or worn parts and replace before next use. Store rotary tiller in a dry environment. MAINTENANCE 1). Periodically check and maintain proper gear oil level. 2). Every 8 hours, (1) grease "outboard hub", (2) PTO shaft universal joints, (3) PTO shaft safety shield and (4) PTO telescoping surface. NOTE: Use only a grade Type II tube grease. NOTE: Do not grease the slip clutch assembly. 3). Before each use check to make sure all safety shields are installed and working properly. 4). Check tiller tines for cracks and breaks before every use. 5). Periodically check all nuts and bolts to insure they are tight and secure. 6). Periodically loosen torque spring bolts and allow slip clutch to slip for approximately two (2) revolutions. Loosen the bolts until the springs lose contact with the flange yoke. This ensures that the slip clutch is not in a "locked" position. 7). Make sure that the clutch slips. 8). To retighten the slip clutch, tighten the torque spring bolts until the nut makes contact with the flange yoke and further tighten one and a half turns (1-1/2). This is a good starting point , further adjustments may need to be made based on soil conditions. NOTE: Do not over or under tighten slip clutch assembly or damage may occur. MAINTENANCE SAFETY • Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble. • Follow good shop practices. • Keep service area clean and dry • Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded • Use adequate light for the job at hand. • Make sure there is plenty ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing vehicle in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation. • Before working on this machine, disengage the PTO, shut off the engine, set the brakes, and remove the ignition keys. • Be certain all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before attempting to perform maintenance. • Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely. • Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any service or maintenance. • Frequently check tiller tines. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks and securely fastened. • Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws and check that all cotter pins are properly installed to ensure unit is in safe condition. • When completing a maintenance or service function, make sure all safety shields and devices are installed before placing unit in service. • After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment are removed from tiller. • Do not allow debris, grease or oil to build up on any deck or platform. • Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement parts must be used to restore your equipment to original specifications. • The manufacturer will not be responsible for injuries or damages caused by use of unapproved parts and/or accessories. • A fire extinguisher and the first aid kit should be kept readily accessible while performing maintenance on this equipment. STORAGE SAFETY • Following operation, or when unhooking the tiller, stop the tractor, set the brakes, disengage the PTO, shut off the engine and remove the ignition keys. • Store the unit in an area away from human activity. • Do not park equipment where it can be exposed to direct contact to livestock for long periods of time. Damage and livestock injury could result. • Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices.
