Safety
Rotating tines can cut hands, feet or other body
parts.
• Keep away from the rotating tines while
operating the tiller.
• Keep your hands, feet, and any other part of
your body or clothing away from rotating
parts.
• Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the tiller, lower the tiller and loader
arms to the ground and turn off the engine.
Remove the key.
Warning
Warning
Contact with buried power, gas, and/or telephone
lines, in the tilling area, can cause shock or
explosion.
• Have the property or area to be tilled marked
for buried lines.
Warning
Stones and other foreign objects can be picked up
and thrown. This can cause serious personal
injury to operator or bystanders.
• Run the tiller so that debris is thrown away
from the traction unit.
• Keep all bystanders away from the work area.
Safety and Instruction Decals
Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any
area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or lost.

Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Rotating tines can cut hands, feet or other body
parts.
• Keep away from the rotating tines while
operating the tiller.
• Keep your hands, feet, and any other part of
your body or clothing away from rotating
parts.
• Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the tiller, lower the tiller and loader
arms to the ground and turn off the engine.
Remove the key.
Warning
Operating the
Power Take Off (PTO)
The power take off (PTO) switch engages and disengages
power to the electric clutch.
The PTO light, in the Indicator Module, will be on when
the ignition key is in run or the lights position and the
power take off (PTO) is engaged. When this light is on, it
is a reminder the starter will not crank and to turn the off
PTO before getting off the tractor.
Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
1. Move the throttle to the fast position.
2. Pull the power take off (PTO) to the on position
(Fig. 29).

Disengaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
1. Push the power take off (PTO) to the off position
(Fig. 29).
Using the Attachment Power
Lift
The attachment power lift (Fig. 30) is used to raise and
lower attachments.
Raising Attachments
1. Turn key to the on or run position (Fig. 30).
2. Push the lift switch in the up direction to raise the
attachment lift (Fig. 30). This will lift and hold the
attachment in the up, or raised position.
Lowering Attachments
1. Turn key to the on or run position (Fig. 30).
2. Push the lift switch in the down direction to lower the
attachment lift (Fig. 30). This will lower the
attachment lift.

Operating the Attachment Lift
Lever
The attachment lift lever (Fig. 31) is used to raise and
lower various attachments.
Raising an Attachment
1. Depress the brake pedal to stop the machine.
2. Pull the attachment lift lever rearward until the latch
locks. In this position the lift will hold the attachment
in the up, or raised position.
Lowering an Attachment
1. Depress the brake pedal to stop the machine.
2. Pull the attachment lift lever rearward, to release the
lift pressure, and push the button on top to release the
latch. Move the lift lever forward to lower the
attachment.

Adjusting the Lift Chain
Rotating tines can cut hands, feet or other body
parts.
• Keep away from the rotating tines while
operating the tiller.
• Keep your hands, feet, and any other part of
your body or clothing away from rotating
parts.
• Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the tiller, lower the tiller and loader
arms to the ground and turn off the engine.
Remove the key.
Warning
Changing the lift chain link at the clevis, affects
maximum tilling depth and transport lift height. These
links can be changed at the clevis (Fig. 32).
1. For maximum tilling depth, but reduced transport lift
height, lengthen the lift chain (Fig. 32).
2. For greater lift height, shorten the length of the lift
chain (Fig. 32). This position will have reduced tilling
depth.
1
Figure 32
3. Lift chain
3. For variations of less than a link in range, disconnect
chain from adjustable yoke on lift rod, loosen jam nut
and rotate the yoke clockwise to increase lift height
and tilling depth and counter clockwise to reduce lift
height and increase tilling depth (Fig. 32).
15
Tips for Tilling
Clean the area of trash, branches and rocks before tilling
to prevent equipment damage.
Always begin tilling with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase speed if conditions permit.
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed) when
tilling.
Always engage the power take off (PTO) with tiller in the
raised position.
Till in long straight passes. Do not make turns while tiller
is in the ground, as equipment damage may result.
A small center area will not be tilled due to the gear case.
Overlapping with a second pass will eliminate this
condition.
Avoid excessive tilling of the soil, as finely tilled soil will
not absorb moisture easily and puddles of water or run-off
may occur.
When tilling hard packed, very dry or virgin soil, raise
tiller so only the very top of the soil is penetrated. On
succeeding passes the depth may be lowered. This reduces
the tendency of the tiller to push the tractor. If this
happens, disengage power take off (PTO) and reduce
forward speed.

Important Refer to your engine operator’s manual for additional maintenance procedures.
Caution
If you leave the key in the ignition switch, someone could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) before you do
any maintenance. Set the wire aside so that it does not accidentally contact the spark plug.
Greasing and Lubrication
Service Interval/Specification
Check the gear lube level in the gear case after every 25
operating hours or once a year, whichever occurs first.
Gear lube changes are not required.
Gear lube type: SAE 90-140 API service GL-4 or GL-5.
Refill capacity: 32 ounces.
Checking Gear Lube
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the
power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, stop the
engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove
the ignition key.
2. Clean the area around the lower pipe plug (Fig. 33).
3. Remove the pipe plug carefully because the oil level
may be above the level of the pipe plug.
4. If gear lube runs from the case when the plug is
removed, the lube in the case is sufficient. Oil may be
added as necessary.

Greasing the Tiller
Service Interval Specification
Grease the jack shaft bearings after every 25 operating
hours or once a year, whichever occurs first.
Grease Type: General-purpose grease.
Greasing the Bearings
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
attachment, disengage the power take off (PTO), set
the parking brake, stop the engine and wait for all
moving parts to stop. Remove the ignition key.
2. With a clean rag, clean the area around the grease
fitting on the idler pulley pivot and on each flange
bearing (Fig. 34).
Figure 34
3. Apply grease to the fittings.
4. Wipe off excess grease.
18
Storage
1. Before long term storage wash the machine with mild
detergent and water to remove dirt and grime from the
entire machine.
2. Check the condition of the tiller.
3. Check gearcase lubrication level; refer to Greasing and
Lubrication, page 16.
4. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws. Repair or
replace any part that is damaged or defective.
5. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces. Paint is
available from your Authorized Service Dealer.
6. Store the machine in a clean, dry garage or storage
area. Cover the machine to protect it and keep it clean.
