ATTACHING THE TILLER TO THE
TRACTOR
Ensure the tractor has been
prepared as instructed under TRACTOR
PREPARATION section of this manual to
prevent serious personal injury or equipment
damage.
1 Attach the lower lift arms of the three point hitch
and secure with clips as shown in Fig. 11.
2 Install the hitch top link to the tractor mounting
bracket and secure with clip as shown in Fig.
13.
3 Install the other end of the hitch top link to the
tiller and secure with clip as shown in Fig. 15.
4 Adjust the right hand hitch lift rod to make the
tiller parallel with the ground (left to right) when
the tiller is raised slightly off the ground.
Shortening the lift rod will raise the right side of
the tiller, lengthening the lift rod will lower the
right side of the tiller. Fig. 12
5 Adjust the hitch top link to make tiller parallel with
the ground (front to rear). Increasing the length
of the top link will cause the rear of the tiller to
drop, shortening the link will cause the rear of
the tiller to raise. Tighten the locking nut on the
top link securely. Fig. 15
6 Position the tiller to sit approximately in the center
of the rear wheels and adjust the stabilizer
check links to prevent excessive left to right
sway.

7 Attach the tiller driveline onto the tractor PTO
shaft, making sure it has locked into the groove
of the shaft.
- Move the driveline back and forth to
ensure it is securely connected.
Do not operate the tiller without the driveline
shields in place and in good condition. Operating
the tiller without shields in place could result in
severe personal injury or death.
Before operating , raise and lower the tiller slowly
through its full range with the three point hitch to
ensure the driveline does not bottom out or come
apart.
