Operating Checklist

Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent 

upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper 

training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and 

maintenance of the Rotary Tiller. Therefore, it is 

absolutely essential that no one operates the Rotary 

Tiller without first having read, fully understood, and 

become totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make 

sure the operator has paid particular attention to:

Safety Information

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Do not engage power take-off while connecting or 

disconnecting the driveline, or while someone is standing 

near the driveline. A person’s body and/or clothing can 

become entangled in the driveline.

Keep yourself and all others away from rotating tines and 

drive train. Always disengage power take-off 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.

Keep away from rotating hex drive shaft located between 

gearbox and drive end of tiller. A person can become 

entangled in the shaft.

Make all 3-point hydraulic adjustments from the tractor 

seat. Never make hydraulic adjustments while standing 

behind the tractor.

All guards and shields must be installed and in good 

working condition while operating the implement.

Tine impact on objects can throw projectiles resulting in 

bodily injury or death. Do not point discharge toward 

people, animals, or buildings and keep people and animals 

away from tiller during operation.

Keep front rubber dirt deflector on reverse tine tillers in 

place while operating the unit. Objects in a reverse tine 

tiller can be thrown forward toward the operator.

Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will 

increase strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing 

possible damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat 

the purpose of the tractor’s power take-off shield.

Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each 

end. A loose yoke can work free allowing the driveline to 

rotate uncontrollably.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Never carry riders on the implement or tractor. Riders can 

obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with controls, be 

pinched by moving components, become entangled in 

rotating components, struck by objects, thrown about, fall 

off and be run over, etc.

Make sure safety labels are in their proper location and are 

in good condition before operating the attached implement. 

Read and obey all instructions on the labels.

Do not operate a broken or bent driveline. Such a driveline 

will break apart while rotating at high speeds. Always 

remove the implement from use until the damaged driveline 

can be repaired or replaced.

Always disengage power take-off immediately after lifting 

tiller above ground level. Never operate tiller in the raised 

position. The tiller can discharge objects at high speeds 

resulting in injury or death.
