ILLER
You have purchased a rotary tiller designed for landscaping, gardening and tilling with
small and medium sized tractors around fruit trees and in vineyards or greenhouses.
Because of its side-shift capability, your tiller can be positioned to till next to trees and
shrubs and along sidewalks. It can also be shifted completely to the right in order to
cover the tractor tire tracks. This is particularly important when dealing with narrower
tillers or with tractors equipped with especially wide tires. The three point hitch can also
remain positioned in the center to work like a normal center mount tiller. On your tiller,
the tractor PTO transmits its power through a driveline to a speed reduction gearbox.
This gearbox turns a hexagonal drive shaft to which a chain sprocket is attached. A
chain transfers power from the drive chain sprocket to a driven chain sprocket
connected to a tilling bladed rotor. The rotor speed is set at the optimum speed to
ensure ideal tillage conditions.
CAUTION: Our rotary tillers are designed considering safety as the most
important target and are the safest available in today's market. Unfortunately,
human carelessness can override the safety features built into our machines.
Injury prevention and work safety, aside from the features on our tillers, are very
much due to the responsible use of the equipment. It must always be operated
prudently following with great care, the safety instructions laid out in this manual.
1. The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be prevented
by mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read
and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and
operating instructions, prior to using.
2. Do not operate the tractor and tiller when you are tired, sick or when using
medication.
3. Before beginning operation, contact local utility companies to make certain there are
no bundled gas lines, electrical cables, etc., in the work area.
4. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least 50 yards from a tiller. Only properly trained
people should operate this machine.
5. When this machine is operated in populated areas where thrown objects could injure
persons or property, standard equipment safety shielding (which is designed to
reduce the possibility of thrown objects) must be installed.
6. The majority of accidents involve entanglements on the driveline, injury of
bystanders by objects thrown by the rotating blades, and operators being knocked
