To raise or lower the side skids proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the nut (see #1, fig. 10) on the adjustment arm (see #2, fig. 10).
2. Place the skid (see #3, fig. 10) in the desired position.
3. Re-tighten the nut (#1) on the adjustment arm (#2).
4. Repeat this operation on the other skid, ensuring both skids are level.
3.05 - Rear Shield Adjustments
The rear shield, for safety reasons, must always remain in contact with the ground. This
also ensures better pulverization of the soil and helps level it out.
Raise rear shield (see #1, fig. 11) to the desired position. Hook the chain (see #2, fig.
11) to the chain hitch (see #3, fig. 11).
3.06 - Pre-Operational Check
Check each of the following carefully prior to engaging the equipment:
1. The rotor bearing has been greased and the drive chain is lubricated.
2. The oil level in gearbox. Using a flashlight, check inside the gearbox to verify that it’s
approximately half full.
3. The driveline cross and bearings have been greased.
4. No wrappings or foreign objects are on the machine or driveline.
5. The blades are properly installed and the blade bolts and nuts properly torqued

6. All hardware is tight.
7. The tractor to ensure correct direction of rotation of
PTO and rpm speed.
8. All safety shields and guards are in place and tightly attached.
9. No people or animals are in the work area.
10.Local utility companies have been contacted to make certain there are no bundled
gas lines, electrical cables, etc., in the work area.
11.When working, make sure the tractor hitch is in the “float” position, in order to allow
the tiller to rest on the skids and therefore to follow the contour of the ground.
