SAFETY SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE Most of the accidents, which occur while the operator is using the machine or the equipment or carrying out maintenance and repair activities, are caused by the non-compliance with the main safety requirements. Therefore the potential risks must be fully understood and special attention must be paid to the activity which is being executed.
SAFETY PREPARATION Preparing For Work: • Do not drink alcohol, take drugs, or any other substances which may affect your ability to use the equipment before or when working. • Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in the tractor to prevent the machine from stopping during work.
SET-UP ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR This tiller may be attached to any tractor equipped with a Cat. 2, 3-point hitch with suitable ball ends. Before attaching the equipment to the tractor, set both on flat and smooth ground and make sure that nobody is standing beween them. 3-POINT CATEGORY 2 HITCH To connect the tiller to the tractor's Cat.

SET-UP 5) Insert the lower hitch pins through the Picture 5 hitch blocks and ball ends (picture 5); 6) Secure them by means of the cotter pins which were previously removed (picture 5); 7) Connect the tractor top link to the third upper point by removing the pin located between the two plates, inserting the top link and securing it by means of the cotter pin.
SET-UP PTO SHAFT CONNECTION Before installing the PTO shaft make sure that the RPM rating and the direction of rotation match those of the tractor. Carefully read the PTO shaft and tractor instructions. Furthermore, accurately read the instructions of the manufacturer of the PTO shaft and of the tractor.
SET-UP Picture 7 COVER ADJUSTMENT The rear cover can be adjusted in height to better compact the ground and make it flat. The adjustment can be made by releasing chain A (picture 7) from upper hook B and inserting it back to the needed height. These operations shall be made only on working ground and only after having stopped the engine, disengaged the power takeoff and pulled the parking brake.
SET-UP Picture 9 SPEED GEAR SETUP The Series T gearbox is provided with two pair of gears. By changing their relative position 4 different rotor speeds are achieved. Choose the desired rotor speed and follow the instructions below: 1) Drain the oil from the gearbox; 2) Remove the cover A unscrewing the lobe knobs B (see picture 9).
MAINTENANCE These activities must be carried out with the engine off, the power take off disengaged and the hand brake ap- plied. If needed, lift the equipment and place it on sup- ports, thus preventing any injuries that might be caused by a sudden fall of the equipment.
MAINTENANCE EVERY 8 WORKING HOURS • Grease the PTO shaft crosses. EVERY 20 WORKING HOURS • Grease the PTO shaft inner drive tube. EVERY 50 WORKING HOURS • Check the oil level in the external rotor bearing through the inspection plug B. If needed remove the plug A and add SAE EP 80W90 oil (picture 11).
REPLACING CLUTCH LININGS Mount clutch assembly in vise. Remove all bolts and nuts (Ref. A). Disassemble all components. Check the condition of all parts, friction plates especially. Replace clutch linings (Ref. B). Reassemble the components, install spring with their corresponding bolts and nuts. Tighten nuts following an alternating cross pattern until reaching a height of 28.5 mm (1.122").
SPARE PARTS The maintenance activities must be carried out with the engine off, the power take off disengaged, the parking brake engaged, and the equipment placed on the ground. BLADES REPLACEMENT To assure the optimum efficiency of the machine, make sure that the tiller blades are in a good working condition and that their bolts are tightened;...
