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.

NOTE:

Due to the many variations in the tractor hitch points and dis- tances between equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO out put shafts, some combinations may require PTO shafts to be shortened as described by the following steps.

STEP 3

Raise and lower rotary tiller in order to locate the shortest distance be- tween equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO output shaft. With the rotary tiller in the shortest distance position shut down the trac- tor and SECURELY BLOCK ROTARY TILLER IN POSITION.

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. Be sure to do this for both PTO shaft halves. NOTE: Do not cut PTO shaft sections at this time.
