Refer to Figure 1-2:

1.When using tractors with multi-speed PTO, be certain PTO is set for 540 RPM.

2.Back tractor up to tiller until lower 3-Point links are aligned with hitch clevises on tiller.

3.Secure the tractor’s 3-Point lower links to the lower hitch clevises using 7/8” diameter hitch pins.

4.Secure the tractor’s top link to the tiller top hitch using a 3/4” diameter hitch pin (supplied by customer). Adjust tractor top link in order to level the tiller.

Driveline Installation

Refer to Figure 1-3, Figure 1-4 & Figure 1-5:

The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor and implement shafts with either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers or a combination of both and with either a shear bolt or slip clutch on one end for protection from shock loads.

Always engage the PTO at low engine rpm to minimize start-up torque on the driveline. Drivelines with friction clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See “Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication” on page 14 for a detailed description of maintaining the driveline.

!CAUTION

Tractor PTO shield and all tiller guards must be in place at all times during operation!

1.Slide driveline end with friction clutch or shear bolt device over splined shaft of the gearbox and secure with locking device of driveline.

2.Slide driveline over the tractor’s splined PTO shaft and secure with locking device of driveline. Skip to step 4 if driveline fits between tractor and implement.
