Safety Section 1-2

SAFETY

Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and

Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an emergency. Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate the Tractor or Implement without supervision. Make sure the operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.

Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll- over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.

(SG-7)

BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always engage the parking brake and/ or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.

(SG-9)

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.

Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

(SG-10)

Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or

Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate the controls easily.

(SG-11)

Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.

(SG-12)

Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this

Implement, any of its components or any Implement function.

(SG-8)

TILLER 02/12


Safety Section 1-3

SAFETY

Operator Safety Instructions and Practices

The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for protection from injury including injury from items that may be thrown by the equipment.

(SG-16)

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE

PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss.

We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause permanent or total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise

[from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery. (SG-I7)

Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturer’s instructions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical agent.

(SG-22)

KEEP AWAY FROM ROTATING ELEMENTS to prevent entanglement and possible serious injury or death.

(SG-24)

Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others.

(SG-25)

Be sure you have adequate knowledge of the property you will be working on. Take time to make yourself aware of any area underground lines or cables. Contact with buried lines or cable could result in serious injury or death.

(STL-1)

Do not put hands or feet under Tiller deck. Blade Contact can result in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and the decks are securely blocked up.

(STL-3)

TILLER 02/12


Safety Section 1-4

SAFETY

Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before tilling. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop operating immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor and blades are in good condition before resuming operation.

(STL-5)

Equipment Operation Safety Instructions and Practices

NEVER use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the

Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely. NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment when their alertness or coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

(SG-

27)

Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or

Implement may cause serious injury or death.

(SG-29)

Do not operate the implement while wearing loose fitting clothing. Entanglement of the clothing with the rotating elements can result in serious injury or even death. Stay clear of all rotating elements at all times.

(SSP-03)

Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions.

(SG-13)

Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.

(SG-23)

TILLER 02/12


Safety Section 1-5

SAFETY

Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause

Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death.

(SG-26)

Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or

Implement may cause serious injury or death.

(SG-29)

There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this Implement as in all power-driven or pulled equipment. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in rough terrain conditions that include grass, weeds, gullies, holes, slopes, hidden obstructions and the like. Serious injury or even death may occur unless care is taken to assure the safety of the operator and bystanders in the area. Do not operate this machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop operating if anyone comes within 25 feet of the equipment.

(STL-4)

Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the rotating parts of the Implement. These objects could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the area for such objects before working in the area. Remove any such objects from the site. Never allow the implement to contact such objects.

(STL-6)

Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices

This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and

Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.

Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.

(S3PT-12)

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor. Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip-over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury. Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator or others to be injured or killed.

(S3PT-02)

TILLER 02/12


Safety Section 1-6

SAFETY

Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices

The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned off.

The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set, the

PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased.

(S3PT-10)

“Wait a minute...Save a life!”

Never crawl under a raised Implement supported solely by the Tractor 3-Point hitch.

Release of the control lever or mechanical failure will result in the Implement falling and possible injury or death. Always securely block up the Implement before crawling underneath to perform repairs and service.

(S3PT-19)

Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE

OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves, safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.

If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.

(SG-15)

Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any shield if it is damaged or missing.

(S3PT-8)

Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to starting any maintenance or repair work.

(S3PT-09)

Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on the Implement. Never work on the Implement with the tractor PTO driveline connected and running. Rotating Parts, Blades or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause immediate entanglement, injury or death.

(S3PT-11)

Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing, damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately.

(SG-5)

TILLER 02/12


Safety Section 1-7

SAFETY

Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death.

(SG-14)

Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in motion or while tractor engine is running.

(SG-20)

Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.

(SG-21)

Safety Section 1-8

SAFETY

Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.

Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:

Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.

Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.

Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy.

(SG-19)

Only tow the Implement behind a properly sized and equipped Tractor which exceeds the weight of the Implement by at least 20%. DO NOT tow the Implement behind a truck or other type of vehicle. Never tow the

Implement and another Implement connected in tandem. Never tow the

Implement at speeds over 20 MPH.

(STI-06)

TILLER 02/12


Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before driving on public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your operating position, mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to maintain adequate vision of the public roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or even death.

(STI-10)

Safety Section 1-9

SAFETY

Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the

Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations.

(SG-6)

In wet conditions where there is a likelihood of material collecting on the Implement, make certain that this material is removed before traveling on public roadways.

(STL-7)

Storage and Parking Safety Instructions and Practices

Never leave the Tractor and Implement unattended while the Implement is in the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing. To properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor, lower the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure support under the A-Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground.

Do not put hands or feet under lifted components.

(S3PT-1)

Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement and Tractor hitches.

(S3PT-15)

To prevent tipping of Implement when stored in folded position, use carrying wheels or adequate stands on center frame.

(S3PT-6)

Concluding Safety Instructions and Practices

I n addition to the design and configuration of this Implement, including Safety Signs and Safety Equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine.

Front weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership. OPS-U- 0005

2.6 Power Take Off (PTO)

The tiller is designed to operate at a PTO speed of 540 RPM.

TILLER 02/12



OPERATION

DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor

PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.

(S3PT-14)

3. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR

Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation. OPS-U- 0007

Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.

(SG-12)

3.1 Boarding the Tractor

Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator’s seat and secure the seat belt around you.

Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously injured or killed from falling off and being ran over. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid all extra riders at all times. OPS-U- 0008

Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or

Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate the controls easily.

(SG-11)

The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be dirt free and greased for attachment.

To connect the mower driveline to the tractor PTO output shaft, pull the driveline yoke collar back and align the grooves and splines of the yoke with those of the PTO shaft. Push the driveline yoke onto the PTO shaft, release the locking collar, and position the yoke until the locking collar balls are seated onto the PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure a secure attachment. OPS-R-0003_D

WARNING

When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the

Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the

Implement.

(S3PT-17)

6.1 Driveline Length Check

WARNING

Before operating the Implement, check to make sure the Implement input driveline will not bottom out or become disengaged. Bottoming out occurs when the inner shaft penetrates the outer housing until the assembly becomes solid-it can shorten no more. Bottoming out can cause serious damage to the Tractor PTO by pushing the PTO into the Tractor and through the support bearings or downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off. A broken driveline can cause personal injury.

(S3PT-18)

When fitting the implement to the tractor, the telescoping driveline must be inspected to ensure that at its most compressed position, the profiles do not “bottom out”, and when at its farthest extended position, there is sufficient engagement between the profiles to operate safely. At its shortest length, there must be at least a 1” clearance between each profile end and opposite profile universal joint. At its farthest operating extension, a minimum profile engagement of 9” must be maintained.

TILLER 02/12 Operation Section 4-12


OPERATION

“Bottoming Out” Check Procedure

• Disconnect driveline from the tractor and slide the profiles together until fully compressed.

• Place a mark on the inner shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.

• Reattach the driveline to the PTO Shaft.

• With the PTO NOT TURNING, raise and lower the tiller and watch shaft movement.

• Raise the tiller and watch the driveline as it approaches the mark. If the distance between the mark and the end of the outer shield tube becomes less than 2” at any point, contact your local dealer or tech service for proper directions. OPS-T-0014

Shorten the driveline profiles as follows:

• Remove the driveline from the tractor.

• Position the tiller (Lift Type - Raise and lower) to the point with the shortest distance between the tractor PTO shaft and implement gearbox.

Shut down the tractor and securely block the tiller in this position.

• Pull driveline apart and reattach yoke to PTO shaft.

• Hold driveline sections parallel to one another and measure back 1” from yoke of each shaft and place mark on opposite section. Cut this length off with a saw.

• Round off all sharp edges and debur.

• Thoroughly grease then reinstall the driveline.

• Recheck for proper operation.

Engagement Check Procedure

• With the driveline attached, position the tiller to the point where the telescoping driveline is at its maximum extension. Completely shut down the tractor and secure in position.

• Mark the inner driveline shield 1/8” from the end of the outer shield.

• Disconnect the driveline from the tractor and separate the two driveline halves.

• Measure the distance from the mark to the end of the inner profile. This length is the amount the driveline profiles were engaged.

• If the engaged length is less than 6” for a non-CV driveline, the shaft is considered too short and should be replaced with a longer shaft. Consult an authorized dealer to purchase the required driveline length.

NOTE: When raising the tiller, at least 1” clearance must be maintained between the driveline and the tiller. If necessary, place an upper lift stop on the 3-point hitch control lever to limit the height the tiller can be raised.

OPERATION

8. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT

THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND

IMPLEMENT AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE. The operator must read and understand the Safety and Operation Sections of the implement and tractor operator’s manuals. These manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to operate the implement and tractor without complete operating instructions.

Before starting any operation, the operator must become familiar with the area to be worked in and any obstacles and hazards contained within to ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment.

Special attention should be paid to foreign debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, and passersby and animals in the area. OPS-U- 0015

Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the rotating parts of the Implement. These objects could then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or even death. Inspect the area for such objects before working in the area. Remove any such objects from the site. Never allow the implement to contact such objects.

(STL-6)

8.1 Foreign Debris Hazards

Before operating, inspect the area to make sure there are no foreign objects that the implement knives could hit or become entangled with.

Remove all foreign objects and debris. If objects are too big to remove, mark them clearly and be sure to prevent the implement blades from contacting them.

If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the implement and tractor at once. Immediately idle the engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for all implement rotating motion to stop, then raise the implement and move the tractor and implement off the object. Inspect the area and remove, or mark the location of the debris. Inspect the condition of the implement and make any needed repairs immediately. Make sure the knives are not damaged and the carrier is balanced before resuming operation.

Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and only operate the tractor and implement with the

ROPS in the raised position. If the tractor or implement hits a tree stump, rock, or bump, a sudden movement could throw you off of the seat and under the tractor and/or implement. The seat belt is your best protection from falling off the tractor and the ROPS provides protection from being crushed during a tractor roll-over.

OPS-T-0003



OPERATION

Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before tilling. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the operator. Stop operating immediately if blades strike a foreign object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor and blades are in good condition before resuming operation.

(STL-5)

8.2 Bystanders/Passersby Precautions

If a bystander comes within 300 feet of the tractor while the implement is being operated, stop the tractor at once, idle the engine and disengage the PTO. Do not engage the PTO again until all bystanders are well past the 300 foot distance. OPS-T-0004

8.3 Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)

Before engaging the PTO, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby. The implement must be completely lowered and the deck positioned at a safe operating height. NEVER engage the PTO with the implement in the raised position.

Set the tractor engine speed at approximately 1,000 RPM before engaging the PTO. Shift the PTO control to the on position, and slowly increase the engine speed until the PTO is operating at the rated speed. If you hear unusual noises or see or feel abnormal vibrations, disengage the PTO immediately.

Inspect the implement to determine the cause of the noise or vibration and repair the abnormality. OPS-U- 0027

Do not put hands or feet under Tiller deck. Blade Contact can result in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped and the decks are securely blocked up.

(STL-3)

8.4 PTO RPM and Ground Speed

Ground speed for operating will depend upon the type of cultivation. Recommended speed for efficient implement performance is between 2 and 5 mph. Operate the implement at its full rated PTO speed to maintain knife speed for a clean operation. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual or the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to provide the required PTO and desired ground speed. Make sure that the implement is operating at its full rated speed before entering the area. If it becomes necessary to temporarily regulate engine speed, increase or decrease the throttle gradually.

Ground speed is achieved by transmission gear selection and not by the engine operating speed. The operator may be required to experiment with several gear range combinations to determine the best gear and range which provides the most ideal performance from the implement and most efficient tractor operation. As the severity of operatin conditions increase, the ground speed should be decreased by selecting a lower gear to maintain the proper operating PTO speed. OPS-T-0006

Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause

Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death.

(SG-26)

TILLER 02/12



OPERATION

8.5 Operating the Implement

Only operate the implement from the tractor operator’s seat with the seatbelt securely fastened. The tractor must be equipped with a ROPS in the raised position or a ROPS cab.

The implement is designed for horticultural, agricultural, or commercial applications cultivation. Maintained knives will produce a better cultivation and require less power. Travel at a speed that allows the implement sufficient time to cultivate the ground and maintain the PTO operating speed to prevent overloading the implement and tractor. Choose a driving pattern that provides the maximum pass length and minimizes turning.

Avoid operating in the reverse direction when possible. In situations where the implement must be backed to access areas, make sure there are no persons or other foreign debris behind the implement before operating in reverse. When operating in reverse, operate the tractor and implement at a reduced ground speed to ensure tractor and implement control is maintained. OPS-T-0005

8.6 Shutting Down the Implement

To shut down the implement, first bring the tractor to a complete stop. Then slow down the implement by reducing the engine speed before disengaging the PTO. Wait for all motion to stop before proceeding to drive or shut down the tractor.

Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking brake, lower the attached implement to the ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come to a complete stop before exiting the tractor. OPS-T-0007

9. DISCONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT FROM THE TRACTOR

Before disconnecting the implement, the PTO must be disengaged and knife rotation at a complete stop.

Move the implement to a level storage location and lower it to the ground. If the implement is not resting securely on the ground, block the implement up securely before attempting to disconnect it from the tractor.

Use extreme care to keep feet and hands from under the implement and clear of any pinch points caused by the tractor hitch arms and implement pins. OPS-T-0008

Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the

Implement when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch.

TILLER 02/12



OPERATION


(S3PT-15)

To disconnect the implement, first extend the tractor 3-point hitch top link to remove tension on the top link hitch pin. When the pin is loose and easy to rotate, remove the pin from the implement. Next remove both lower hitch pins.

After disconnecting the 3-lift points, remove the implement driveline from the tractor PTO shaft. Lay the driveline down carefully to avoid damaging the driveline or its shield. Do not let the driveline fall into mud or dirt, which can contaminate the bearing and shorten the life of the driveline.

10. IMPLEMENT STORAGE

Properly preparing and storing the implement at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:

• Thoroughly clean all debris off the implement to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.

• Lubricate all implement grease points and fill gearbox oil levels as detailed in the maintenance section.

• Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.

• Check the implement for worn and damaged parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately so that the implement will be ready for use at the start of the next season.

• Store the implement in a clean, dry place with the implement housing resting securely on blocks or at ground level.

• Keep the driveline yoke from sitting in water, dirt and other contaminants.

• Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the implement.

It is critical that driveline clutches slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid implement and/ or tractor damage. If the implement sits outside for an extended period of time or is exposed to rain and/or humid air, the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together from rust or corrosion. If the implement has been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each operating season, and any time it is suspected that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the slip clutch as detailed in Seasonal Clutch Maintenance of the maintenance section in this manual.

OPERATION

11. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT

Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized. OPS-U- 0017

12. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT

Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following. OPS-U- 0012


(SG-23)



OPERATION

Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.

Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:

Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.

Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.

Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy.

(SG-19)

Before transporting the tractor and implement, idle the tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all implement moving parts to come to a complete stop. Once all implement parts are completely stopped, raise the implement to transport height.

NOTE: When raising the implement, maintain 1” clearance between the driveline and implement deck. If additional implement deck height is needed for transport, disconnect the driveline from the tractor and secure its end to the implement deck. The implement can then be raised to the maximum lift height. OPS-T-0011

TILLER 02/12



OPERATION

12.1 Brake and Differential Lock Setting

Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate independently allowing single rear wheel braking action or locked together to provide simultaneous rear wheel braking. FOR MOST

DRIVING AND OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE

BRAKE PEDALS SHOULD BE LOCKED

TOGETHER TO PROVIDE

EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.

Always disengage the tractor differential lock when turning. When engaged the differential lock will prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During normal cutting conditions, locking the differential provides no benefit and should not be used.

OPS-U- 0013

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes.

When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases; use extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating in traffic, always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy.

If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to have hydraulic power, disconnect the implement driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to the implement deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport. OPS-T-

0012



OPERATION

12.2 Transporting on Public Roadways

Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and implement on public roadways. The tractor must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them. Check your side view mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the tractor’s slower speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing is wider than the tractor tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road.

Make sure that a proper size safety tow chain is secured between the tractor and implement before entering a public road. OPS-U- 0019

Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the

Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations.

(SG-6)

The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is universal symbol used to alert drivers of the presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright orange with reflective red trim for both easy day and night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is clean and visible from the rear of the unit before transporting the tractor and implement on a public roadway.

Replace the SMV emblem if faded, damaged, or no longer reflective. OPS-U- 0020

Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights, headlights, and brake/tail lights are functioning properly before proceeding onto public roads. While newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to provide warning signals and operating lighting, most older models are only equipped with operating lights.

Consult an authorized tractor dealer for lighting kits and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on older tractor models. OPS-U- 0021



OPERATION

When operating on public roads, have consideration for other road users. Pull to the side of the road occasionally to allow all following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for agricultural tractors. Always stay alert when transporting the tractor and implement on public roads. Use caution and reduce speed if other vehicles or pedestrians are in the area. OPS-T-0013

Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes.

Ensure that both brake pedals are locked together when operating on public roads. OPS-U- 0023

12.3 Hauling the Tractor and Implement

Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement, measure the height and width dimensions and gross weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for the areas that will be traveled through. OPS-U- 0024_AGCO

Use adequately sized and rated trailers and equipment to transport the tractor and implement.

Consult an authorized dealer to determine the proper equipment required. Using adequately sized chains, heavy duty straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie down both the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the proper tie down locations as specified by the tractor manufacturer. OPS-U-

MAINTENANCE SECTION


Maintenance Section 5-1

MAINTENANCE

Before operating your Tiller, make sure it is properly lubricated and thoroughly inspected. Only a minimum of time and effort is required to regularly lubricate and maintain this machine to provide long life and trouble free operation.

Always disengage the PTO before raising the Tiller for transporting or making adjustments.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.

Use an SAE multi-purpose, lithium-type grease for all locations shown. Be sure to clean the fitting thoroughly before using grease gun.

ROTOR BEARING HOUSING

Lubricate the Rotor Bearing Housing every 8 hours.

TILLER 02/12



MAINTENANCE

DRIVELINE LUBRICATION

Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes.

Grease the U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup

Assemblies. Grease the telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. Some PTO-to-Hitch connections may necessitate cutting a hole in the shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for lubrication. Lubricate the shield bearings every

16 hours. Figure Mnt-0024.

The Driveline Integral Shields should not become dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield

Assembly has a Nylon Bearing at each end and should turn freely. This nylon bearing should require lubrication every 8 hours.

Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the

Driveline without binding.

TILLER 02/12



MAINTENANCE

SLIP CLUTCHES

A Slip Clutch is incorporated in the PTO driveline. It is designed to slip, absorb the shock load, and protect the driveline.

Clutch torque setting is factory set. If clutch slips excessively, check friction discs for excessive wear. Discs are 1/8" thick when new. Replace after 1/32" wear.

To adjust slip clutch, first check length of springs as assembled on clutch. Length should be 1 inch. If not, adjust length of bolt to obtain proper spring length. If additional adjustment is required, tighten each bolt 1/2 turn.

NOTE! DO NOT tighten spring bolts over 1/2 turn at any adjustment. Excessive tightening can cause clutch to become frozen and not slip which could cause damage to tractor PTO, Drivelines, or Gearbox.

Avoid overheating of clutches caused by too long or too frequent slipping of the clutch since this can damage the friction plates and clutch parts. When checking slip clutch for overheating, do not touch with hand. Clutch could be extremely hot and cause severe burn.

SEASONAL CLUTCH MAINTENANCE

It is important that the clutches slip when an obstacle or load heavier than the clutch setting is encountered.

Before using the implement each season, use the following procedure to make sure the clutch will slip and give the overload protection required.

1.

Loosen nuts (1) Figure Mnt-T-0003 until the spring is free, and then retighten approximately one turn.

2. Attach machine to tractor, set engine at approximately half throttle and quickly engage PTO. This procedure will break clutch facings loose and allow the proper torque to be maintained.

3. Return the nuts and bolts to their original position of 1" compressed spring length.

NOTE: If machine sits outside longer than 30 days and is exposed to rain and humid air, the clutches should be removed from machine and stored in dry area. Clutch facings will soak up moisture and cause the metal plates to rust badly. When this occurs, the break-away torque increases greatly and damage to gearbox, driveline, or tractor PTO can occur.

PARTS ORDERING GUIDE

The following instructions are offered to help eliminate needless delay and error in processing purchase orders for the equipment in this section.

1. The Parts Section is prepared in logical sequence and grouping of parts that belong to the basic machine featured in this manual. Part Numbers and Descriptions are given to help locate the parts and quantities required.

2. The Purchase Order must include the name and address of the person or organization ordering the parts, who should be charged, and if possible, the serial number of the machine for which the parts are ordered.

3. The Purchase Order must clearly list the quantity of each part, the complete and correct part number (be sure to include all periods), and the basic name of the part.

4. The Manufacturer reserves the right to substitute parts where applicable.

5. Some parts are unlisted items which are special production items not normally stocked and are subject to special handling. Request a quotation for such parts before sending a

Purchase Order.

6. The Manufacturer reserves the right to change prices without prior notice.

NOTE: Please refer to The Safety Section in the front of this Manual for the proper

Part Number when ordering Replacement Safety Decals.

For maximum safety and to guarantee optimum product reliability, always use genuine Servis-Rhino Parts. The use of inferior replacement parts may cause premature or catastrophic failure which could result in serious injury or death.
