Tractor Stability

„A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, front tractor wheels could raise up result- ing in loss of steering. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.

7.Reconnect tiller to the tractor.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

„Only engage power when equipment is at ground operating level. Always disengage power when equipment is raised off the ground.

Read and understand the rotary tiller and tractor opera- tor's manuals before operating the tiller. Failure to do so may result in death, serious personal injury or prop- erty damage.

Never raise the tiller more than a few inches off the ground when traveling from job site to job site.

Shut off the engine, set brake, remove key and remove seat belt. Dismount the tractor.

Clutch Run-In

Clutch run-in must be done prior to initial use and before each season or whenever tiller has been setting idle for more than two months. See Slip Clutch Adjust- ment page 17 for the run-in procedure.

After you have completed the run-in of the clutch, return to the operating instructions and proceed with start-up. Failure to run the clutch in could result in pre- mature driveline failure and warranty will be voided.

NOTE: Tillers equipped with shear bolt driveline protection do not have clutches. These drives do not require a run-in procedure prior to operation.

Start-Up Sequence

1.Start tractor engine.

2.Lower tiller slowly, nearly to the ground.

3.Engage tractor PTO.

4.Lower the tiller completely to the ground.

5.Increase engine rpm to normal operating speed of 540 rpm.

6.Move tractor forward. Select a slow tractor speed and increase slightly until operation is satisfactory.

Rear Shield Adjustment

The rotary tiller tailgate can be adjusted to control the tilth of the soil. The finest finish is achieved with the tailgate at the lowest adjustment. As the tailgate is raised, or adjusted up, the finish of the soil will become more coarse. Raising the tailgate reduces the amount of recirculation that occurs to the soil inside the tiller housing. If the soil conditions are very rocky, the tail- gate should be run in a raised position so rocks may pass through the tiller more quickly
