25. Assemble the belt as follows (refer to figure 13).
A. Belt is attached to the idler pulley assembly.
Back of the belt (flat side) goes against the
idler pulley.
B. Slip belt up and over pulley on tiller (“V” side
of belt goes against the pulley).
C. Twist the belt 90° to the right as shown in fig-
-------------ure 13. Slip the belt around the drive pulley on
the tractor.
NOTE: The tines on the tiller are designed to rotate in
the opposite direction of the wheels on the tractor. If
they rotate in same direction as the wheels, the belt is
twisted in the wrong direction. Unhook the belt from
the drive pulley and twist in the opposite direction.
26. If there are holes provided in the tractor frame,
hook the lift links up out of the way using the four
extension springs (K). See figure 14.
OPERATION
CONTROLS
Lift Lever
The lift lever which is used to raise and lower the tiller
and provide tilling depth adjustment is located on the
right hand side of the tractor. To raise the 1 Her, pull
back on the lift lever. To transport the tiller, place lift
lever in the highest position.
P.T.O. Lever
The P.T.O. lever is located on the right hand side of
the tractor. The tines are engaged by lifting the P.T.O.
lever to the “Engaged” position. Lower the P.T.O.
lever to the “Disengaged” position to stop the tine
rotation.
HOW TO USE YOUR TILLER
When tilling sod or soil which has not be jn tilled
before, select a shallow tilling depth with the ift lever,
and use a slow ground speed. For furthe' depth,
lower the lift lever and make several more passes
over the area, each time tilling at right angles to the
previous pass. See figure 15.
When tilling loose soil, use a higher grounc speed.
Use the highest ground speed for pulverizing the soil
or for transporting the tiller.
For best results, always till the ground at least twice
(lengthwise, then widthwise) as shown in figure 15.
