IMPORTANT
For details about maintenance and lubrication of the driveshaft, refer to the user manual of the
driveshaft manufacturer.
Driveshaft clutch:
Exposition to the elements of tiller and driveshaft, or a long period of inactivity, generally results in
oxidation of some clutch components, and creates "sticking" effect on the clutch.
Consequently, the torque required to the slippage of the clutch increases considerable respect to the
value set at factory, and this may be cause of driveshaft breakage during operation, or damage to
the tractor or implement.
To avoid it, before re-using the tiller, operator must perform a short "run-in" of the clutch, as follows:
 take note of the height of the compressed springs;
 loosen the bolts that compress the springs;
 connect the tiller to the tractor (see section Conneting to the tractor) ;
 connect the driveshaft (see section Driveline installation) ;
 start the tractor and engage PTO for few seconds, in order to cause slippage and separation of
the parts "sticked" of the clutch;
 turn off the tractor, remove key and wait for all components are stopped before dismounting
from tractor;
 retighten the bolts restoring the original springs position on the driveshaft.
NOTE
For replacement of the driveshaft service parts (e.g. friction discs), refer to the user manual of the
driveshaft manufacturer.
