9.To keep the tine attachment dog clutch coupling clean, cover with the dust cap (on some attachments) or plastic wrap.

10.The PTO Power Unit is now ready to install other powered or non-powered attachments. See the attachment's Owner’s Manual for installation and operation instructions specific to that attachment.

1.Move the two PTO Power Unit swing- out bolts outward and slide the washers up against the bolt heads.

2.Remove the support block from under the engine and slowly roll the power unit back next to the tine attachment. Place the support block back under the engine.

3.Remove the dust cap (or protective wrapping) from the dog clutch coupling on the tine attachment.

4.Carefully align the guide pin on the PTO Power Unit with the alignment hole in the tine attachment and bring the two units together (Figure 4-27).

5.Move the two swing-bolts into the

slots of the tine attachment. Alternately tighten each bolt until they are tight enough to make the concave washers flat. The bolts must be very tight – if you have a torque wrench, tighten each bolt to between 70 and 80 ft.-lbs.

IMPORTANT: The swing-bolts must be kept very tight to prevent damaging wear to the dog clutch coupling, alignment pin or the alignment hole. Check bolt tightness every 2-1/2 operating hours.

6.Remove the engine support before moving the tiller in a forward direction.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To help avoid personal injury or damage to equipment, read the attach- ment's Owner’s Manual supplied with each attachment before installing or operating an attachment. Please read all control, operation and safety instructions.

The following are operating instructions specifically for the PTO Power Unit. Read the separate Owner’s Manual supplied with each attachment before attempting to assemble, attach, transport or operate the attachment. If needed, please contact us for a replacement manual. See the back cover for customer support information.

WARNING

To help avoid personal injury, always disengage the Tines/ PTO Clutch Lever before towing any attachment.

Some attachments have a drive shaft or a hydraulic pump that is powered by the engine on the PTO Power Unit. These units are called Stationary Attachments, since they remain in one location when operating. Attachments can be towed to a work site with the PTO Power Unit as described in Operating Non-Powered Attachments. Other attachments are pulled or towed behind the PTO Power Unit. These attachments are called Non- Powered Attachments.
