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 hooking-up or

unhooking the driveline, or while someone is standing near

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

entangled in the driveline.

Make certain driveline yokes are securely fastened at each

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

rotate uncontrollably causing implement damage and

bodily injury or death to anyone nearby.

Keep away from rotating hex drive shaft located between

gearbox and drive end of tiller. A person can become

entangled in the shaft.

Do not use a power take-off adapter with a quick hitch. 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.

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.

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.

Make all 3-point hydraulic adjustments from the tractor

seat. Never make hydraulic adjustments while standing

behind the tractor.

Never make contact with underground utilities such as

electrical power lines, gas lines, phone lines, etc. They can

cause serious injury or death from electrocution, explosion,

or fire. Always call 811 (USA) before digging so that they

can mark the location of underground services in the area.

For contact information, see Dig Safe in the “Important

Safety Information” starting on page 1.

Tractor power take-off shaft shield, driveline shields, and

gearbox shaft shields must be installed and in good working

condition to avoid driveline entanglement and projectiles

flying off of the driveline.

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.
