NOTICE

■Do not drop tiller to the ground with the rotor turning. Sudden high speed jolts multiply stress to the driveline and can cause extreme damage.

OPERATING TECHNIQUES

Tilling Sod and Untilled Ground

For tearing up untilled sod or conditioning compacted soils, several shallow passes will be most productive. Set the skid shoes to one of the two most shallow posi- tions. A gear should be selected on the tractor for a slow travel speed. Progressive passes can be done at progressively faster speeds.

NOTICE

■After tilling for the first half hour, check for loose blades and retighten any loose hardware. Follow the shutdown procedure and blocking method before checking blades.

Previously Tilled Ground

To pulverize the topsoil and prepare a good seedbed, set the skid shoes for a tilling depth equivalent to your deepest roots. Adjust the tailgate to the fully lowered position. A tractor gear should be selected such that the tiller does not lug the engine.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)

___ Review and follow all safety rules and safety decal instructions on pages 5 through 9.

___ Check that all safety decals are installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

___ Check that all shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if dam- aged.

___ Check that all hardware is properly installed and secured.

___ Check that equipment is properly and securely attached to tractor.

___ Before starting tractor, check all equipment drive- line guards for damage and make sure they rotate freely on all drivelines. Replace any dam- aged guards. If guards do not rotate freely on drivelines, repair and replace bearings before operating.

___ Do not allow riders.

___ Make sure driveline spring-activated locking col- lar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

___ Keep all bystanders away from equipment work- ing area.

___ Check all lubrication points and grease as instructed in the Lubrication Maintenance illustra- tion, page 16.

___ Make sure tractor ROPS or ROPS CAB and seat belt are in good condition. Keep seat belt securely fastened during operation.

___ Check to be sure gear lube runs out of the small check plug on the side of the gearbox.

___ Check the condition of the tiller blades. Replace any blades that are broken or excessively worn.

___ Check for objects that may be wound around the tiller rotor shaft. Objects like wire, string, tall grass and weeds can build up on the rotor shaft and affect tiller operation.
