A driveshaft too long may cause structural damages to the tractor and machine. If the driveshaft is too long, it may be adapted by removing it and shortening the tubes according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer in its use and maintenance manual. A driveshaft too short can cause disengage of the tubes during operation, with severe hazard for the operator and structural damage to the tractor and machine. -

5.2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS During operations:/ OPERATE ACCORDING TO FOLLOWING INTRUCTION always keep the tractor engine at rpm rate ensuring to the tiller the right power required for the use; always keep a tractor speed adequate to conditions of the soil to be worked (from 2 to 10 km / h approx.). - Page 25 An adjustment can be done, however, when the clutch slipping is too frequent, which means that the calibration is too low. In this case, the tightening of nuts over the compressed springs will give an increase in torque transmissible. On the contrary, a loosening of the nuts over the springs will give a decrease in torque transmissible. IMPORTANT For details about clutch adjustment, refer to the user manual of the manufacturer of the driveshaft installed.

Page 26: Rear Boardadjustment
When finished, verify that both skids are at same level, and check if the front of the tiller is leveled to the back, when lowered to the ground. Adjust with the 3-point top link if necessary. REAR BOARDADJUSTMENT The FTC-Series tillers are equipped with a rear board with chain. The position of the rear board is adjustable by varying the number of chain links included between distance XY, which remain tensioned under the weight of the board (i.e. -
Page 27: Stopping And Disconnection
to lower the rear board, increase the number of chain links in tension. This operation, together with the reduction of the ground speed, allows to have a finer soil texture. WARNING To avoid the risk of crushing or cutting of fingers, raise or lower the rear board only from the lower edge, not from the sides. -

Page 33: Storage
For details about maintenance and lubrication of the driveshaft, refer to the user manual of the driveshaft manufacturer. Driveshaft clutch: Exposition to the elements of tiller and driveshaft, or a long period of inactivity, generally results in oxidation of some clutch components, and creates "sticking" effect on the clutch. Consequently, the torque required to the slippage of the clutch increases considerable respect to the value set at factory, and this may be cause of driveshaft breakage during operation, or damage to the tractor or implement. -
Page 34: Scrapping
Before restart the operations, restore the original height of the springs. 8. SCRAPPING In case of scrapping, the machine must be disposed in appropriate and authorized sites, according to local legislation. Before scrapping, separate plastic parts from rubber parts, aluminum, steel, etc. Recover and dispose any exausted oils to authorized centers for oil collecting. -
