ATTACHING TO TRACTOR
STEP 1
Attach to trac- tor's category 1
three point hitch as described in the Tractor's Operator’s Man-
ual.
STEP 2
Determine if the PTO shaft needs to be shortened.
NOTE:
Due to the many variations in the tractor hitch points and distances between
equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO out put shafts, some combina-
tions may require PTO shafts to be shortened as described by the following
steps.
STEP 3
Raise and lower rotary tiller in order to locate the shortest distance between
equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO output shaft. With the rotary till-
er in the shortest distance position shut down the tractor and SECURELY
BLOCK ROTARY TILLER IN POSITION.
WARNING: IF THE TILLER IS RAISED UP SO THAT THE PTO SHAFT IS AT AN
ANGLE SHARPER THAN 35 DEGREES PTO MUST BE STOPPED!
WARNING
Never stand between
tractor and rotary tiller
while backing up tractor
to the hitch.
