Never travel at a fast ground speed while using the tiller, this could damage it.
Never attempt to turn the tractor or travel in reverse with the PTO engaged and
the tiller in the ground. Always raise the tiller out of the ground when backing
up or attempting to turn. Failure to due so may cause damage to the tiller.
STEP 8
After each use clean all debris from the tiller tines. Replace any missing or illegible
safety decals. Inspect for any damaged or worn parts and replace before next use.
Store rotary tiller in a dry environment.
MAINTENANCE
1). Periodically check and maintain proper gear oil level.
2). Every 8 hours, (1) grease "out-board hub", (2) PTO shaft universal joints, (3)
PTO shaft safety shield and (4) PTO telescoping surface.
NOTE: Use only a grade Type II tube grease.
NOTE: Do not grease the slip clutch assembly.
3). Before each use check to make sure all safety shields are installed and working
properly.
4). Check tiller tines for cracks and breaks before every use. Torque tine bolts to
100 ft/lbs. if you need to replace a tine.
5). Periodically check all nuts and bolts to insure they are tight and secure. The
bolts holding the top gearbox to the base plate and the “L” bracket need
to be torqued at 75 ft/lbs. Also the bolts holding the cross over shaft from
the top gearbox to the side gearbox should be torqued at 45 ft/lbs.
6). Periodically loosen torque spring bolts and allow slip clutch to slip for approxi-
mately two (2) revolutions. Loosen the bolts until the springs lose contact with
the flange yoke. This ensures that the slip clutch is not in a "locked" position.
7). Make sure that the clutch slips.
8). To retighten the slip clutch, tighten the torque spring bolts until the nut makes
contact with the flange yoke and further tighten one and a half turns (1-1/2).
This is a good starting point , further adjustments may need to be made based
on soil conditions.
NOTE: Do not over or under tighten slip clutch assembly or damage may occur.
NOTE: Do not allow the tractor engine or rotary tiller to bog down or stall. This
causes undue wear and tear on the tiller and tractor. If this continues to happen
reduce ground speed and raise tilling depth of rotary tiller. Never attempt to re-
move objects from the rotor bar until the tractor has been shut down and the
tiller tines have completely stopped.
