ATTACHING TO TRACTOR
WARNING
Never stand between
tractor and rotary tiller
while backing up tractor
to the hitch.
STEP 1
Attach to tractor's category 1 three point hitch as described in the
Tractor's Operator’s Manual.
STEP 2
Determine if the PTO shaft needs to be shortened.
NOTE:
Due to the many variations in the tractor hitch points and dis-
tances between equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO
out put shafts, some combinations may require PTO shafts to be
shortened as described by the following steps.
STEP 3
Raise and lower rotary tiller in order to locate the shortest distance be-
tween equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO output shaft.
With the rotary tiller in the shortest distance position shut down the trac-
tor and SECURELY BLOCK ROTARY TILLER IN POSITION.
STEP 4
Pull apart PTO shaft and attach outer section to tractor PTO output
shaft. NOTE: Be sure to pull on PTO shaft section to ensure yoke has
locked into place.
STEP 5
Place and hold inner PTO shaft section next to outer section and check
if PTO shaft is too long. Each section should end approximately 3
inches short of reaching u-joint shield on the opposite section. If the
shaft is too long measure 3 inches back from each u-joint shield and
mark the other shaft section. Be sure to do this for both PTO shaft
halves. NOTE: Do not cut PTO shaft sections at this time.
