ATTACHING THE TILLER TO THE TRACTOR
Ensure the tractor has been prepared as instructed under TRACTOR PREPARATION section of this manual to prevent serious personal injury or equipment damage.
Attach the lower lift arms of the three point hitch and secure with clips as shown Fig. 15.
Install the hitch top link to the tractor mounting bracket and secure with clip as shown Fig. 13.
Install the other end of the hitch top link to the tiller and secure with clip as shown Fig. 17.
(note: the top link should be installed with the locking nut towards the tiller).
4Adjust the right hand hitch lift rod.to make the tiller parallel with the ground (left to right) when the tiller is raised slightly off the ground. Shortening the lift rod will raise the right side of the tiller, lengthening the lift rod will lower the right side of the tiller Fig. 12.
5Adjust the hitch top link to make tiller parallel with the ground (front to rear).
Increasing the length of the top link will cause the rear of the tiller to drop, shortening the link will cause the rear of the tiller to raise. Tighten the locking nut on the top link securely Fig. 17.
