5. Relieve all hydraulic pressure to auxiliary hydraulic
lines.
6. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop
before leaving the operator’s seat.
7.
Use steps, grab-handles and anti-slip surfaces when
stepping on and off the tractor.
Driveline Installation
Refer to Figure 1-2, Figure 1-3 & Figure 1-4:
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor and implement
shafts with either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers
or a combination of both, and with either a shear bolt or
slip clutch on one end for protection from shock loads.
Always engage power take-off at low engine rpm to
minimize start-up torque.
Drivelines with friction slip
clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity
. See
on page 20 for detailed
instructions on maintaining the slip clutch.
If Rotary Tiller is used on more than one tractor, an
additional driveline may be required - especially if a quick
hitch is used.
Refer to Figure 1-5 on page 11:
1.
Remove gearbox shaft protector (#3) from end of
gearbox shaft.
2. Pull on the pull collar or push on the push pin (#2)
and slide slip clutch or shear bolt end of driveline (#1)
over the gearbox input shaft.
3. Release the pull collar or push pin (#2) and continue
to push the driveline onto the gearbox shaft until the
pull collar or push pin pops out and locks in place.
4. Push/pull on slip-clutch or shear bolt yoke end of
driveline (#1) to ensure it is securely fastened to the
gearbox input shaft.

An additional driveline may be
required if implement will be attached to more than
one tractor.
