Dealer Preparations

!
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death:
An unsupported parked tiller can tip over easily. Always use
its park stand and when needed, non-concrete support blocks
to keep the tiller from tipping onto a person.
This unit is shipped almost completely assembled.
Carefully follow instructions for final assembly.
Before attempting assembly check the following items.
Having all the needed parts and equipment readily at
hand will speed up your assembly task and will make the
job as safe as possible.
•
Check for fasteners and pins that were shipped with
the tiller. All hardware coming from the factory has
been installed in the location where it will be used. If a
part or fastener is temporarily removed for assembly
reasons, remember where it goes. Keep the parts
separated.
•
Have a forklift or loader along with chains and safety
stands that are sized for the assembly task.
•
Have a minimum of 2 people at hand during assembly.

Torque Requirements

Refer to "Torque Values Chart" on page 32 to
determine the correct torque value when tightening
hardware during assembly.
