BEFCO TILL-RITE T60-266, Operator'S Manual

Page: 20 / 52

WARNING: Disengage PTO, wait for all movement from the implement and tractor
to stop, engage parking brake or place transmission in “Park”, shut off the tractor
and remove the key before attaching the implement to the tractor.
To attach the tiller to the tractor do the following:
1. Back the tractor up to the machine in order to slip the tractor hitch arms over the
hitch pins attached to the sliding frame. Turn off the tractor engine.
2. The tiller hitch pin (#3, fig. 12) may be positioned in either the top or bottom hole,
depending on driveline length and tractor size.
3. Lock the tractor arms to the tiller hitch arms with the lynch pins. Stabilizers must be
used to limit side swing to 2” to 3”.
4. Attach the top link. Adjust it so the tiller is as near parallel to the ground as possible.
A 1 to 2 degree rearward tilt is acceptable (see fig. 13) .
5. Install the shielded driveline to the tractor by first lining up the splines and
depressing the snap pin. Push the yoke onto the PTO shaft as far as it will go.
Release the pin and pull back slowly until the pin clicks in place.
6. The T60 tiller is supplied with a slip clutch, to install the driveline on the implement
end, you need to remove the sheet metal protection on the gearbox, remove the
locking bolt on the slip clutch yoke and push the yoke on to the gearbox shaft. Line
the locking bolt hole up with the groove on the shaft. Reinstall the locking bolt and
tighten down lock nut. Reinstall PTO protective cover.
7. Attach the safety chains of the PTO shaft to the tiller and the tractor to keep the
shielding from rotating. Allow enough slack for the sliding plastic shielding to slide in
and out.
IMPORTANT: See Section 4.04 - Driveline, to ensure the driveline is the proper
length.
