recommended. NEVER OPERATE ON SLOPES

GREATER THAN 17.6% (10°).

Features & Controls

TRACTOR CONTROLS

Before you begin operating the tractor, make certain

you have:

• Read and understood the instructions in the

tractor Operator’s Manual.

• Become thoroughly familiar with all of the

tractor controls and their operation, including

how to safely and properly start and stop the

unit.

• Practiced driving in an open area—without

dozing—to become accustomed to the unit.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the

name, location, and function of these controls so that

you will better understand the safety and operating

instructions provided in this manual.

The information below briefly describes the function of

individual controls. Operating the tractor and tiller

require the combined use of these controls and addition-

al controls whose operation is described in the tractor

Operator’s Manual.

A. PTO Switch

The front PTO switch, located on the right side of the

dashboard, controls the front PTO used to power front

and mid-mounted attachments.

While the engine is running, pulling the switch UP

engages the PTO. Pushing the switch DOWN disen-

gages the PTO.

B. Parking Brake & Brake Pedal

The parking brake keeps the tractor from moving when

parked with the engine running or if parked on an incline.

To engage the parking brake, depress the brake pedal

and pull the parking brake knob out.

Figure 1. PTO Switch

B. Parking Brake Knob & Brake Pedal

OPERATION

Checks Before Starting

1. Make sure all covers and guards are in place. Make

sure all nuts, bolts, clevis pins, and clips are secure.

2. The tiller must be lubricated before first use and after

every four hours of operation. If required, see instruc-

tions in Maintenance section.

3. Clear the work area of any items that could be caught

in the tiller.

Transporting

When transporting the tiller to and from the work area,

the tiller should be fully raised. Adjust ground speed

according to condition of the ground surface.

Turning or Backing When Tilling

Before backing up or turning, raise the tiller until it clears

the ground. Otherwise, the tiller can be damaged.

The weight of the tiller will reduce the weight on the front

tires. Front counterweights are recommended to restore

normal turning ability.

Engine Speed & Ground Speed

Tilling should always be done with engine speed at full

throttle. Ground speed can be controlled with the ground

speed control lever. If ground speed is too high, slow

down. Do not reduce the engine speed. Refer to tractor

“Operator’s Manual” for more information on tractor oper-

ation.

Operation

WARNING

Perform the Safety System Interlock test found in

your tractor Operator’s Manual. If tractor does not

pass the test, do not operate the tractor. See your

authorized dealer. Under no circumstances

should you attempt to defeat the safety system.

To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the

tractor with fuel in the tank inside a building

where an ignition source is present.

CAUTION

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,

disengage the PTO, and remove the key. Inspect

the tiller for damage before starting. DANGER

OPERATING ON SLOPES

CAN BE DANGEROUS

Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 % (10°)

which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet vertically in 20 feet

horizontally.

Operate the unit at a slow ground speed when

driving onto slope. Avoid using brakes to control

ground speed.

When operating on slopes that are greater than

15 percent (8.5°) but less than 17.6 percent, use

additional wheel weights or counterweights.

In addition to counterweights, use extra caution

when operating on slopes. Drive UP and DOWN

the slope, never across the face, use caution

when changing directions and DO NOT START

OR STOP ON SLOPE.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Refer to Tractor Operator’s Manual for

important information concerning safely

operating your tractor.

CAUTION

The tiller may propel the tractor forward when

first lowered into hard ground especially if tiller

depth is set too deep or tractor ground speed is

too fast.

Starting & Stopping

To start tilling, engage the tractor PTO then lower the

tiller. Slowly drive forward. The tiller will work into the

soil. Engage the PTO only when the tiller is out of the

ground.

To stop the tiller, raise the tiller, and disengage the PTO.

Raise tiller to transport position before traveling to and

from the work site or storage area.

Tilling Suggestions

Plan the pattern before beginning. When the land con-

tour permits, it is best to travel in the longest direction to

minimize turning.

The tiller will dig deeper with slow ground speed. It is

best to increase the depth on succeeding passes until

the desired depth is reached. Making passes crossways

to the previous pass usually helps break sod into fine

particles. In soft, loose soil, it may be possible to till to

desired depth in one pass.

Storage & Maintenance

STORAGE

Daily Storage

NOTE: Refer to the tractor Operator’s Manual for impor-

tant information concerning safely storing your tractor.

INSTALLATION

Initial Installation Notes:

Kits:

Electric Lift Kit (1692032) must be installed on all 14HP

gear tractors before tiller can be installed. Electric lift

should be all the way down for tiller installation.

Rear Attachment Hitch (1692010 or 1693498) must be

installed on tractors before attaching the tiller.

Tractor Modifications:

Mower and mower lift tube assembly must be removed

before tiller installation (see Figure 5).

Right hand tire must be inverted (valve stem toward out-

side) to provide additional clearance between tire and

tiller lift rod.

On tractors equipped with ag tires (bar tread), reinstall

the right hand tire inverted on the left hand axle, and the

left hand tire inverted on the right axle. This will provide

additional clearance between tire and lift rod and correct-

ly orient the bar tread.
