ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR
Carefully read this instruction manual and the manuals of the tractor and PTO shaft manufac-
turer. All tillers are built to be attached to any tractor equipped with a three point hitch of the
correct category and with suitable ball ends.
Before attaching the equipment to the tractor, make sure that the ground is smooth and flat and
that nobody is standing between the tractor and the tiller; slowly move the tractor towards the
tiller by aligning the tractor lower lift arms with the two tiller coupling side pins; turn the engine
off and pull the brake.
It is possible to adjust the attachment position
releasing the bolts B. (picture 1) and modifying
the position of the plates A. Tighten the bolts
after making any adjustment.

After adjusting the couplers, connect the lower lift arms by removing the lynch pins from the
pins located on the hitch brackets, inserting the lift arm pins through the hitch block and ball
ends and secure them by means of the pins which were previously removed.
Connect the tractor top link to the top mast by
removing the pin located between the two plates,
inserting the top link and securing it by means of
the pin.
Adjust the top link so that the upper part of the
frame is parallel to the ground.
Block all the linking parts by means of the sway
chains or arms.
Make sure that the central unit axis (gearbox
assembly) is parallel to the ground, thus minimiz-
ing the stresses on the power take off and increas-
ing the working life of the equipment.

After executing all the above-mentioned activities,
make sure that all the nuts and bolts are tightened.
