ATTACHING/UNHOOKING
The Tiller should always be located on a level, dry area that is free of debris and other
foreign objects. When attaching the machine to a tractor, follow this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Be sure the tractor 3 point hitch is in the Category 1 configuration and the lift
arms are in the non-sway configuration (See tractor manual).
3. Make sure there is enough room and clearance to safely back up to the Tiller.
4. Attach the PTO driveline to the Tiller if it was removed for storage (See
Assembly).
5. While backing up, align the lift arm balls with the mounting pins on the Tiller.
ALERT: It may be necessary to add weight to the 3 point hitch to lower
the lift arms.
6. Stop tractor, set park brake, remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to
stop before dismounting.
7. If your tractor is not equipped with a Quick Hitch:
a. Align the left lower link arm with the mounting pin.
b. Slide the ball over the pin and install the Linch Pin.
c. Use the screw jack on the right lift arm to align the ball with the pin.
d. Slide the ball over the mounting pin and install the Linch Pin.
e. Level the frame using the screw jack.
f. Remove retainer and pin from the mast.
g. Align top link using the turnbuckle.
h. Insert pin and install Linch Pin
i. Level frame using the turnbuckle.
8. Attach the PTO driveline:
a. Check that the driveline telescopes easily and that the shield rotates freely.
CAUTION: Be sure that the driveline does not bottom out when going
through its working angles.
b. Attach the driveline to the tractor by retracting the locking pin, slide the
yoke over the shaft and push on the yoke until the lock pin clicks into
position. Pull on the yoke to be sure it is locked in position.
c. Attach the anchor chain on the driveline shield to the frame.
9. Use the 3 point hitch to raise the machine.
10. Remove the blocks from under the Depth Gauge Shoes.
11. Reverse the above procedure when unhooking from the tractor.
