OPERATION

The TC rotary tiller is designed for completion of plow- ing operations and seedbed preparation. It breaks up clods, levels the soil surface, destroys weeds, and mixes in fertilizer. Refer to the information in this man- ual for the specifications, parts, assemblies, and adjustments.

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this rotary tiller. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the tractor, tiller, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 5 through page 9.

„Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace- ment manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

„Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

„Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.

„Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

„Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and secured. Never place any part of the body under- neath equipment or between moveable parts even when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect- edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper- ator's Manual instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work done by a qualified dealer.

„Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres- sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

„Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

„Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.

„Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

ATTACHING ROTARY TILLER TO TRACTOR

1.Move the tractor into position in front of the tiller. Move back slowly and carefully, not allowing any- one to be between the tractor and the tiller.

2.Turn off tractor engine.

3.Attach the two lower arms of the 3-point hitch with the two hitch-pin assemblies.

4.Attach the tractor center link to the upper hitch point of the rotary tiller. Adjust the length of the center link until the tops of the frame ends are par- allel to the ground.

5.Adjust the tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway devices to prevent tiller from swinging side to side during transport.

6.Attach the front PTO driveline from the rotary tiller to the tractor. (Slide the front section of the PTO driveline into the back section. Slide the PTO shaft onto the rear PTO output of the tractor).

NOTICE

■If the PTO driveline is too long, severe driveline and gearbox damage is possible when hooking up the PTO driveline from the rotary tiller to the trac- tor. The front PTO driveline is long enough to fit a variety of tractors. It is possible that the front PTO driveline will need to be cut. There will be NO bene- fit by cutting only one telescoping section. Both sections of the driveline must be cut. DO NOT FORCE THE PTO TO FIT.

■WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PTO DRIVELINE IS TOO LONG, resulting in gearbox, PTO, yoke or cross bearing damage.

NOTE: The PTO driveline, when attached to the tractor and gearbox, must not extend so there is less than four inches of overlap within the PTO driveline.

7.Raise jackstand and secure in operating position.
