12 Operation
MAN0003 (Rev. 11/30/2006)
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.
