Troy-Bilt E683G - Manual (Page 26)

IMPORTANT: Store tine attachment in a
level, upright position to prevent gear oil
from leaking from the dipstick area.
9. To keep the tine attachment dog clutch
coupling clean, cover with the dust cap
(on some attachments) or plastic wrap.
10. The PTO Power Unit is now ready to
install other powered or non-powered
attachments. See the attachment's
Owner’s Manual for installation and
operation instructions specific to that
attachment.
Installing the Tine Attachment
1. Move the two PTO Power Unit swing-
out bolts outward and slide the washers
up against the bolt heads.
2. Remove the support block from under
the engine and slowly roll the power unit
back next to the tine attachment. Place
the support block back under the engine.
3. Remove the dust cap (or protective
wrapping) from the dog clutch coupling
on the tine attachment.
4. Carefully align the guide pin on the
PTO Power Unit with the alignment hole
in the tine attachment and bring the two
units together (Figure 4-27).
5. Move the two swing-bolts into the slots
of the tine attachment. Alternately tighten
each bolt until they are tight enough to
make the concave washers flat. The bolts
must be very tight – if you have a torque
wrench, tighten each bolt to between 70
and 80 ft.-lbs.
IMPORTANT: The swing-bolts must be
kept very tight to prevent damaging wear
to the dog clutch coupling, alignment
pin or the alignment hole. Check bolt
tightness every 2-1/2 operating hours.
6. Remove the engine support before
moving the tiller in a forward direction.
PTO POWER UNIT
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The following are operating instructions
specifically for the PTO Power Unit. Read
the separate Owner’s Manual supplied
with each attachment before attempting to
assemble, attach, transport or operate the
attachment. If needed, please contact us
for a replacement manual. See the back
cover for customer support information.
Some attachments have a drive shaft or
a hydraulic pump that is powered by the
engine on the PTO Power Unit. These
units are called Stationary Attachments,
since they remain in one location when
operating. Attachments can be towed
to a work site with the PTO Power Unit
as described in Operating Non-Powered
Attachments. Other attachments are
pulled or towed behind the PTO Power
Unit. These attachments are called Non-
Powered Attachments.
Setting Up Stationary Attachments
1. Move the Tines/PTO Clutch Lever to
DISENGAGE.
2. Move Wheel Speed Lever (Figure 4-22)
to FREEWHEEL, then block all wheels
(Figure 4-29) to prevent the equipment
from rolling.
