RTR Park Stand Set-up

Refer to Figure 1-2:

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  
An unsupported parked tiller can tip over. Always use park 

stand and/or support blocks to prevent it from tipping over 

onto a person.

1. The RTR park stand (#1) is shipped from the factory 

attached to the side panel, rotated down, and 

secured with wire retaining pin (#2) as shown. If 

shipped rotated up, rotate park stand down before 

assembling components to this unit. Refer to 

“RTR 

Park Stand Operation” 

on page 22 for detailed 

instructions.

2. The park stand (#1) should be adjusted up or down if 

tiller weight is not resting on the stand when 

unhooked from a tractor. Refer to 

“RTR Park Stand 

Adjustment” 

on page 27 for detailed instructions on 

how to adjust the stand.

3. Continue with 

“RTR Front Deflector Assembly” 

below.

RTR Front Deflector Assembly

Refer to Figure 1-3:

1. Attach rubber deflector to tiller frame with smooth 

side down by inserting 3/8

"

-16 x 1 1/2

"

 GR5 hex bolts 

(#1) through 1 1/2" fender washers (#4), holes in 

rubber deflector (#5), holes “A” in tiller frame, and lock 

washers (#3).

2. Secure bolts (#1) with hex nuts (#2). Draw nuts up 

snug, do not tighten until after all nuts are installed.

3. Tighten hex nuts (#2) to the correct torque.
4. Continue with 

“RTR Lower Clevis Assemblies” 

on 

page 12.

NOTE:  

If rubber deflector (#5) has a diamond 

pattern on one side, install that side up. Smooth side 

down will help keep dirt from collecting on the 

underside of the deflector.
