OPERATION
Before operating Tiller, always
check area to be worked. Do not
run over large stones, pipes or
other heavy obstructions which
could damage Tiller.
A
CAUTION: Never adjust or work
on Tiller with tractor engine
running. Although Tiller will
not normally throw heavy ob¬
jects
,
keep persons and pets
from directly behind when it
is in operation.
Always make
certain rear shield is
lowered
when Tiller is being operated
in rocky conditions.
OPERATING TILLER
NOTE: Do not try to operate Tiller
in long grass or high weeds.
Cut
and remove this material before
tilling.
Failure to do this will
usually result in wrapping of ma¬
terial on tine shaft reducing
efficiency of tines.
1. Raise or lower Tiller with trac¬
tor lift hitch lever or with power
lift control, if so equipped.
2. To engage Tiller, move tractor
rear PTO lever to the "ON" position.
3. Depress tractor neutral return
brake pedal, place gear shift lever
in 1st gear.
4. Advance throttle to "FAST" posi¬
tion and lower Tiller slowly to
engage soil.
5. Release neutral return brake
pedal slowly and fully. Recommended
forward speed for tilling is 0.5
mph and 1.0 mph for cultivating.
(Tractor speed reduction kit recom¬
mended. )
6. Always raise Tiller when turning
or backing tractor.
