SAFETY TRAINING Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our product. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
PREPARTION Never operate the tractor and tiller until you have read and completely understand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety messages found on the safety signs on the tractor and tiller. Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected against by the mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you. Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued... 14 Never allow the tilling tines to contact such items. Never assume an area is clear. Always Check! Always stop the tractor, disengage PTO, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, lower implement to the ground and allow rotating pieces to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment unattended with the tractor running.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued... Pass rotary tiller diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent “hanging up” tractor and rotary tiller. Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering on rough terrain. Always cut down slopes, never across the face. Always check tractor manual for proper use on slopes. When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death.
ATTACHING TO TRACTOR WARNING Never stand between tractor and rotary tiller while backing up tractor to the hitch. STEP 1 Attach to tractor's category 1 three point hitch as described in the Tractor's Operator’s Manual. STEP 2 Determine if the PTO shaft needs to be shortened.
ATTACHING TO TRACTOR continued.... STEP 4 Pull apart PTO shaft and attach outer section to tractor PTO output shaft. NOTE: Be sure to pull on PTO shaft section to ensure yoke has locked into place. STEP 5 Place and hold inner PTO shaft section next to outer section and check if PTO shaft is too long. Each section should end approximately 3 inches short of reaching u-joint shield on the opposite section. If the shaft is too long measure 3 inches back from each u-joint shield and mark the other shaft section.
SIZING PTO SHAFT STEP 1 Cutting the PTO shaft to length. NOTE: Be sure to cut equal lengths of each PTO shaft section. Clamp end of PTO shaft in a vice and cut off shield where marked. (Figure 1 -A & 1-B) STEP 2 Figure 1-A Using cut section of the shield as a guide cut shaft off the same amount. (Figure 2) STEP 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for other PTO shaft section. STEP 4 Use a file to deburr PTO shafts. Clean up all chips, burrs and filings from both ends of the PTO shaft.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STEP 1 Before each use perform the maintenance described in maintenance section (page 20). STEP2 Read, understand, and follow the information on safety training, preparation, starting and stopping safety, operational safety, transport safety warning sections of this manual (pages 12 thru 15). STEP 3 With the rotary tiller positioned on level ground, adjust the tractor lift arms so that when lifted, the rotor bar remains parallel to 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.
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.
