avoid friction clutch overheating caused by too long or too frequent slipping of the clutch, since
this can damage the friction plates and clutch parts.
Typical problems that may occur operating the tiller are described in the “Troubleshooting” section,
together with their solutions.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
All adjustment operations must be performed with the tractor engine off, the PTO disengaged, the
tiller lowered to the ground or on security stands, the parking brake set and the ignition key off.
LOWER CLEVIS ADJUSTMENT
It is possible to adjust the lower hitch position loosening the U-bolts 1 (see picture) and sliding the
clevis 2 on the square tube. Tighten the U-bolts after making any adjustment required.
FRICTION CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The PTO driveshaft and friction clutch are designed to transmit adequate power to the tiller.
The clutch preserves the machine from overloads, through the slipping of friction discs, and limits
the max torque transmissible to a calibrated value set at factory. It is recommended, therefore, to
leave unchanged this value to avoid damages to the machine or to driveshaft.
