Woods Equipment TL52, TL73, TL84 manual Transport, Cleaning

NOTICE

■To avoid tiller and motor damage, stop prime mover hydraulic flow. Allow tiller to stop com- pletely before changing direction of rotation.

For maximum productivity and to maintain optimal operation, keep chassis free of residue build up and replace worn or broken tines.

Never raise the attachment more than 24" off the ground. When loading, keep the attachment as low to ramps and trailers as possible.

For finish tilling operation, the tiller may be operated in the reverse direction with the tines rotating in a clock- wise direction when viewed from the left side of the machine.

Roll the skid steer arms fully back and lower the arms completely. Activate auxiliary hydraulics and make sure the tines are rotating in the desired direction. Bring skid steer to high idle, slowly tilt the tiller forward until the depth skids contact the ground. Move the skid steer in the desired direction of travel.

TRANSPORT

NOTICE

■When transporting the attachment, be sure the tines do not contact the ground as this may cause the drum to turn resulting in damage to the motor.

Roll the skid steer arms fully back and raise the attach- ment 12" to 15" from the ground. Avoid excessive ground speed and sudden maneuvers. Never raise the attachment more than 24" off the ground. When load- ing, keep the attachment as low to ramps and trailers as possible.

Improper operation can cause the machine to tip or roll over and cause injury or death.

•Keep power unit lift arms and attachment as low as possible.

•Do not travel or turn with power unit lift arms and attachment raised.

•Turn only on level ground.

•Go up and down slopes, not across them.

•Keep the heavy end of the machine uphill.

•Do not overload the machine.

Look down and to the rear and make sure area is clear before operating in reverse.

CLEANING

After Each Use

●Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from machine.

●Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts.

●Replace any safety decals that are missing or not readable.

Periodically or Before Extended Storage

●Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass, crop residue, etc. from machine.

●Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water spray.

1.Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn safety decals or near edges of decals as water spray can peel decal off surface.

2.Be careful when spraying near chipped or scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.

3.If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice of the pressure washer manufacturer.

●Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged parts.

●Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of missing paint and coat with spray paint of matching color (purchase from your dealer).

●Replace any safety decals that are missing or not readable (supplied free by your dealer). See Safety Decals section for location drawing.

STORAGE

NOTICE

■Store the tiller inside when possible. If this is not possible, store the tiller on a pallet. Be sure the tiller is stored off the ground to protect the cou- plers and hoses.

■The supply and return hoses must always be secured with quick disconnects or caps to prevent loss of fluids and contamination.

■Keep children and bystanders away from stor- age area.
