Section 1: Assembly & Set-Up

Driveline Installation

Refer to Figure 1-6, Figure 1-7 and Figure 1-8:
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor and implement
shafts with either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers,
or a combination of both and with either a shear bolt or
slip clutch on one end for protection from shock loads.
Always engage the PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
start-up torque on the driveline. Drivelines with friction
clutches must go through a "run-in" operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See
"Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication" on page 23 for
a detailed description of maintaining the driveline.
If the Rotary Tiller is to be used on more than one tractor,
an additional driveline may be required - especially if a
quick hitch is used.
!
DANGER
Do not engage tractor PTO while hooking-up and unhooking
driveline or while someone is standing near the driveline. A
person's body and/or clothing can become entangled in the
driveline resulting in serious injury or death.
!
WARNING
Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter
will increase strain on the tractor's PTO shaft resulting in
possible damage to shaft and driveline.
!
DANGER
All guards and shields must be installed and in good working
condition at all times during tiller operation!
!
WARNING
Always disengage PTO, engage parking brake, shut tractor
engine off, remove switch key, and wait for tines to come to a
complete stop before dismounting from tractor.
!
WARNING
Do not over speed PTO or machine breakage may result. Some
tractors are equipped with multispeed PTO ranges. Be certain
your tractor's PTO is set for 540 rpm.
IMPORTANT: The driveline must be lubricated
before putting it into service. Refer to "Lubrication"
on page 26 for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT: Drivelines with friction clutches must
go through a "run-in" operation prior to initial use
and after long periods of inactivity.See "Driveline
Protection" on page 23 for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT: If tiller is to be used on more than one
tractor, an additional driveline may be required -
especially if a quick hitch is used.
