• PREPARING THE VEHICLE
• Preparing the tractor
• CAUTION Avoid injury. Proper ballastings is
  required for safe operation of your tiller
  IMPORTANT Refer to the tractor operator manual
  for proper ballasting information and tire
  inflation
• A 540 rpm PTO
• Refer to the tractor operator manual for correct
  ballasting and tire pressure, depending on
  installed equipment.
• Park vehicle safety

• Stop vehicle on a lever surface, not on a slope.
• Disengage PTO.
• Engage the park brake.
• STOP the engine.
• Remove the key.
• Before you leave the operator's seat, wait for
  engine and all moving parts to STOP.

D B D A C C

• Stay clear of rotating drivelines
• Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause
  serious injury or death
• Wear close fitting clothing.
• STOP the engine and be sure PTO driveline is
  stopped before getting near it.

Quick Coupler
1) Install hitch Quick Coupler (A) on the
tractor (see tractor operator manual).
E
2) Stop vehicle on a level surface, not on a
slope, then moving back to the tractor until the

INSTALLING
3. Install PTO shaft to tractor.
G H
IMPORTANT Tiller MUST BE level front to rear.

• Engage the cardan shaft and check that it is
  perfectly locked on the tractor PTO (G). Check
  that the guard
• (H) is free to turn and fix it with the relative
  latch.

4. Raise tiller.
5. Remove spring locking pin (K) from parking
stand.
6. Slide parking stand (I) and way up on tiller
bracket (J).
7. Fasten with spring locking pin (K).
I J K
8. Level tiller (See Leveling Tiller in the
Operating Tiller section).
9. Adjust sway chains on tractor lower draft arms
to minimize side way.
PTO shaft
A B
The PTO shaft, supplied with the machine, is of
stand- ard length. Therefore it might be
necessary to adapt the PTO shaft. In that case,
before doing anything, consult the Manu- facturer
for the eventual adaptation.
When the PTO shaft is fully extended, the two
tubes must overlap by at least 6 inch (A). When
fully inserted, the minimum play must be 1,6 inch
(B).
CAUTION If the implement is used on another
tractor, always check that the guards completely
cover the rotating parts of the PTO shaft.
Installing - Page 9

INSTALLING PTO shaft with clutch The PTO shaft
can be equipped with safety clutch to protect the
transmission components of the machine from
stress and/or excessive overloads. The tilt of
the PTO shaft must not exceed 10 degrees.
The clutch is already pre-adjusted for average
stress. If it slips too easily (and overheats),
it will be necessary to evenly tighten all the
nuts (D) that retain the springs. The clutch
disks must be changed if the clutch still slips
after all the nuts have been tightened. If the
clutch does not slip, evenly unscrew all the
spring fixing nuts (D). Unscrew one turn at a
time and check the clutch after having worked
about 300 meters. Repeat the operation if
necessary, remembering to unscrew one turn at a
time. If the clutch maintains a temperature of
about 40-50 (104-122 F) degrees during work, this
means that it has been correctly regulated.
D
IMPORTANT Never fully tighten the nuts. This
would void the function of the springs and,
subsequently, of the clutch, thus damaging the
transmission compo- nents.
NOTE This inspection must be performed at the
beginning of each new season.

• Park vehicle safely
• Stop vehicle on a level surface, not on a slope.
• Disengage PTO.
• Engage the park brake.
• STOP the engine.
• Remove the key.
• Before you leave the operator's seat, wait for
  engine and all moving parts to STOP.
• Stay clear of rotating drivelines
• Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause
  serious injury or death
• Wear close fitting clothing.
• STOP the engine and be sure PTO driveline is
  stopped before getting near it.

  good condition and fastened in place. Make any
  necessary adjustments before you operate.

• Clear work area of objects that you do not want
  tilled into the ground or that might damage the
  tiller. Con- sider the tilling area and set up a
  safe tilling pattern. Do not till under condition
  in which traction or stability is doubtful. Keep
  people and pets out of the work area. Stop
  machine if anyone enters the area.
