FTH-Series Rotary Tillers 

 

 

When turning, use extreme care and reduce tractor speed. 

  WARNING 

Do not operate the tractor with weak or faulty brakes or worn tires. 

  CAUTION 

Always use tractor lighting system and auxiliary lighting system for an adequate warning to operators of 

other vehicles, especially when transporting at night or in conditions of reduced visibility. 

  DANGER 

In case of tiller lifting, make sure that the lifting device chosen is suitable to perform the operation 

safely, and use only the lifting points prescribed on tiller.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

  WARNING 

All  maintenance  and  repairing  operations must be  performed by  qualified  and trained operators, 

with the  tractor engine off,  the  PTO  disengaged,  the  tiller lowered  to  the  ground  or on  security 

stands, the ignition key off and the parking brake set. 

  WARNING 

Perform repairs and replacements necessary to the machine using only original spare parts provided 

by the Manufacturer or your Dealer. 

  DANGER 

Perform maintenance operations always using appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (protective 

eye glasses, hard hat, hearing protection, safety shoes, overall and work gloves, filter mask). 

  CAUTION 

Before any maintenance operation, make sure that the parts which may become hot during use 

(friction clutch, gear box...) have cooled. 

  WARNING 

Do not perform repairs that you do not know. Always follow the manual instructions and in case of 

doubt contact the Manufacturer or your Dealer.

STORAGE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

  WARNING 

Never leave the tractor unattended with the tiller in lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting 

lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing. 

  DANGER 

Following operation, or before unhooking the tiller, stop the tractor, set the brakes, disengage the 

PTO, lower the attached tiller to the ground, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key and wait 

for all moving parts to stop.
