After executing the above-mentioned activities it is always
good to check that all bolts and nuts of your tiller are
tightened strongly (ref. bolts and nuts tightening table).
ATTACHMENT TO THE CARDAN SHAFT
Before assembling the cardan shaft, it is very important to check out that its number of revolutions
and direction of rotation match those of the tractor. Moreover, read carefully the instruction manuals
of the cardan shaft and the tractor manufacturers.
Before starting work, check the presence of the safety guards on the power takeoffs of the machine,
the cardan shaft and the tractor. Check in particular that the safety guards cover the cardan shaft
throughout its extension.
When at their maximum extension, the safety guards’ plastic
hoses shall overlap of at least 1/3 of their length (LT). When
in their maximum closing position, the minimum clearance
allowed shall be of 1-2 cm (picture 5).

Check out that the cardan shaft minimum and
maximum length are the ones required by the machine-
tractor coupling.
Should problems arise, contact a skilled repair shop or
the cardan retailer. After installation, secure safety
guards both to the tractor and the machine using the
special chains and make sure that they pivot freely. If
the cardan shaft is equipped with other safety devices,
such as a pair limiter or freewheels, be sure to install
them on the machine side. As for the cardan use and
maintenance refer to the relevant booklet.
COVER ADJUSTMENT
The rear cover can be adjusted in height to better compact
the round and make it flat. The adjustment can be made by
releasing chain A (picture 8) from upper hook B and
inserting it back to the needed height.
Picture 8
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. If necessary, lift the
machine from the ground but, in order to avoid risks for
people, place it on supports thus preventing any injuries that
might be caused by its sudden fall.
