10. Hook up the rear shield (see #1, fig. 7) adjustment chain as follows: slip one end of
the chain (see #2, fig. 7) through the ‘U’ bolt (see #3, fig. 7) and then bolt it to the
rear shield in the predisposed holes. Bolt the other end of the chain to the chain
hitch located on the tiller frame
(see #4, fig. 7) . Ensure it is tightened properly. The
chain hitch also works as a stop for the sliding frame to limit its travel.
3.03 - Side-Shift
TABLE 1
The drawing below represents the tiller’s right side-shift capabilities.
The upper black line of the drawing shows the three point hitch of the tiller working in its
center position. The lower white line shows the three point hitch of the tiller shifted
completely to the right.
The side-shift capability gives the tiller numerous advantages over center mounted
tillers. It can till next to shrubs, sidewalks or buildings. Smaller sizes can cover wider
tractor tire tracks.
To side-shift the tiller from the center mount position, do the following:
1. Loosen the 8 nuts
(#1, fig. 8) holding the locking clamps to the front and rear of the
gearbox housing. Do not remove the nuts.
2. Push the sliding frame (#2, fig. 8) towards the left to its new desired position. This
can be done without levers or turnbuckles. Do not shift it right of center.
3. Re-tighten the 8 nuts.
