 remove from upper and lower pins the bushings provided for coupling with Quick Hitch, through
the extraction of elastic pins. Replace the elastic pins when finished. Store the bushings for
possible future use.
4.2. CONNECTING TO THE TRACTOR
To connect the tiller to the tractor the operator must do the following:
 drive the tractor in reverse, up to align the rear lifting arms to lower hitches of the tiller in parking;
 set the tractor's parking brake, stop engine, remove the ignition key and get off the tractor;
 connect the lifting arms of the tractor to the lower hitches of the tiller, through the use of the pins
and the relative safety split pins;
 raise the tiller until PTOs of tractor and machine are at the same height, then adjust the 3-point
top link so that the front of the machine is leveled to the back (the axis of the tiller PTO must be
parallel to the ground), in order to limit stress transmitted to the tiller through the cardan shaft;
 make sure that left side of the tiller is leveled with the right, by adjusting the tractor lifting arms,
then lock the arms to prevent swinging that could compromise the stability of tractor and machine;
 finally adjust the parking stand, placing it at the highest point by means of the related elastic pin.
4.3. DRIVELINE INSTALLATION
Before installing the driveshaft, the operator must read the manuals of driveshaft and tractor,
checking in particular that rpm and direction of rotation of the tractor PTO match those of the tiller.
If the direction of rotation of the PTO tractor does not match that of the tiller, contact the
manufacturer or your dealer.
To connect the driveshaft to the tractor and implement, the operator must:
 park tractor and tiller on a flat surface, with parking brake set, engine off, and ignition key
removed;
 check that safety devices of driveshaft, tiller and tractor are in good condition, otherwise provide
for their replacement;
 remove the PTO shield of the tiller through the fixing screws;
 position the driveshaft with clutch turned towards the implement side;
 insert the clutch hub on the tiller PTO, then ensure its tightening onto shaft through its
fastener;
 replace the PTO shield of the tiller through the fixing screws;
 insert the driveshaft yoke on the tractor PTO, then ensure its tightening onto shaft through its
fastener;
 hook to the tractor and tiller the two retaining chains of the the driveline shielding, to prevent
shielding rotation during functioning of the machine.
DRIVELINE LENGTH CHECK
Before operating the tiller, ensure that the size of driveshaft is adequate. The driveshaft supplied
with the machine has a standard length, therefore it may need an adaptation of the length,
depending of the tractor which the tiller is combined.
The length of the driveshaft must be such to:
