DANGER

Keep yourself and all others away from rotating tines and
drive train. Always disengage PTO and lockout power source
before making adjustments or servicing the tiller. A person’s
body, hair, or clothing can become entangled in rotating
components causing serious bodily injury or death.

DANGER

Make all 3-point hydraulic adjustments from the tractor seat.
Never make hydraulic adjustments while standing alongside
the tractor or behind the tractor.

!

DANGER

PTO shaft shield, gearbox shields, driveline shields, and
driveline safety chains must be installed and in good working
condition while operating tiller to avoid injury or death from
entanglement in a rotating drivelines.

!

DANGER

break apart while rotating at high speeds causing serious
injury or death. Always remove Rotary Tiller from service
until damaged drivelines are repaired or replaced.

!

DANGER

Clear area of debris before tilling. Mark any potential hazards

keep people and animals away from outlet during operation.
Tine impact on objects can cause projectiles resulting in
bodily injury or death.

!

DANGER

Do not till across steep inclines exceeding 15 degrees. The
action of the tines being forced down into the ground can
cause the tractor to roll-over resulting in serious injury or
death. Consult your tractor’s manual for acceptable inclines
the tractor is capable of traveling across.

DANGER

Always disengage PTO before lifting tiller up and never
operate tiller in the raised position. The tiller can discharge
objects at high speeds resulting in injury or death.
