Set-Up Instructions
The rotary tiller is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware. See “Bolt Torque
Chart" on page 36 for recommended torque values.
Select a suitable working area. Refer to illustrations,
accompanying text, parts lists, and exploded view drawings.
For reference, front, back, left, and right directions are
determined by sitting in the tractor operator’s seat.
