Safety
Danger
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 stop the engine.
Remove the key.
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.

Danger
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 stop the engine.
Remove the key.

Operating the
Power Take Off (PTO)
2. Push the power take off (PTO) to “OFF” (Fig.23).
Attachment Lift Lever
The power take off (PTO) engages and disengages power
to the electric clutch.
The attachment lift lever (Fig. 24) is used to raise and
lower various attachments.
While the ignition key is in the “RUN” or “LIGHTS”
positions and the power take off (PTO) is engaged “ON”,
the PTO light, in the Indicator Module, will be “ON”.
When this light is “ON” it is a reminder; the starter will
not crank and to turn off the PTO before getting off.
Raising Attachments
1. Depress the clutch and/or brake pedal(s) to stop the
machine.
Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
2. Pull attachment lift lever rearward until latch locks. In
this position the lift will hold the attachment in the up,
or raised position.
1. Depress the brake and/or clutch pedal(s) to stop the
machine.
2. Pull the power take off (PTO) to “ON” (Fig. 23).
Lowering Attachments
1. Depress the clutch and/or brake pedal(s) to stop the
machine.
2. Pull attachment lift lever rearward, to release lift
pressure, and push the button on top to release the
latch. Move lift lever forward to lower attachment.

Adjusting Dial-A-Height
Attachment Power Lift
The Dial-A-Height control (Fig. 24) is used to limit the
downward travel of the attachment. The Dial-A-Height
knob is rotated to change the location of this stop, up or
down.
The attachment power lift (optional on some models) (Fig.
25) is used to raise and lower attachments.
Raising Attachments
1. Raise the attachment lift lever: Refer to Raising
Attachments. In the raised position the Dial-A-Height
knob (Fig. 24) can be rotated to change the stop
location. Turn clockwise to raise and counterclockwise
to lower the height of the attachment.
1. Turn key to the “ON” or “RUN” position (Fig. 25).
2. Push the lift switch in the “UP” direction to raise the
attachment lift (Fig. 25). This will lift and hold the
attachment in the up, or raised position.
2. The Dial-A-Height indicator (Fig. 24) will show the
change, high to low, in attachment lift height as
adjustment is made.
Lowering Attachments
1. Turn key to the “ON” or “RUN” position (Fig. 25).
2. Push the lift switch in the “DOWN” direction to lower
the attachment lift (Fig. 25). This will lower the
attachment lift.

Adjusting Lift Chain
Danger
Rotating tines can cut hands, feet or other body
parts.
1
• 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 stop the engine.
Remove the key.

Tips for Tilling
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. 26).
Clean area of trash, branches and rocks before tilling to
prevent equipment damage.
1. For maximum tilling depth, but reduced transport lift
height locate last link of lift chain in the clevis (Fig.
26).
Always begin tilling with the slowest ground speed
possible. Increase speed if conditions permit.
2. For greater lift height, locate the second last link of lift
chain in the clevis (Fig. 26). This position will have
reduced tilling depth.
3
2. Trunnion
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.
2
A small center area will not be tilled due to the gear case.
Overlapping with a second pass will eliminate this
condition.
1
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.
2282

2. Last link
3. Second last link
3. For variations of less than a link in range disconnect
the lift rod from the lift arm and rotate the trunnion
(Fig. 27) Turning clockwise increases lift height and
tilling depth and counter clockwise reduces lift height
and increases tilling depth.
