EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES



Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and develop-

ing a tiller. However, every year accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few

seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator,

can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions and insist those working

with you, or for you, follow them.

In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show

an assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in

this condition. Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, re-

place the shield prior to use.



Replace any safety sign that is not readable or missing. Location of such safety signs are in-

dicated in this manual.

Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs that can hinder alertness or coordination while oper-

ating this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescrip-

tion medications.



Under no circumstances should children under the age of 18 be allowed to work with

this equipment. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until they have

read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the safety precau-

tions and how it works. Review the safety instructions with all users annually.

This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The opera-

tor should be a responsible, properly trained and physically able person familiar with farm ma-

chinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. If the elderly are assisting with farm work,

their physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.



Use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System and seat belts. (ROPS)

Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is

in question- DON’T TRY IT.



Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification could result in serious

injury or death and may impair the function and life of the equipment.

In addition to the design and the confirmation of this implement, including safety signs and

safety equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the aware-

ness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, trans-

port, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also to safety messages and operation

instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the tractor and tiller manuals. Pay close at-

tention to the safety signs affixed to the tractor and the tiller.

SAFETY TRAINING



Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacturing of our product. Un-

fortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single

careless act of an operator or bystander.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and ac-

cident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and

proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance

and storage of this equipment.



It has been said, “ The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We

ask you to be that kind of operator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and

understand all safety and operating instructions in the manual and to follow

them. Accidents can be avoided.

Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this man-

ual, and the manual for your tractor, before assembly or operating, to acquaint

yourself with the machines. If this machine is used by any person other than

you, or is loaned or rented, it is the rotary tiller owner’s responsibility to make

certain that the owner's manual be available to the operator prior to operating:

1- Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.

2- Is instructed in safe and proper use.



Know your controls and how to stop the tractor, engine, and tiller quickly in an

emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your tractor.

Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers.

Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will operate the

machinery. A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety

instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained operator ex-

poses himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death. If the elderly

are assisting with farm work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and

accommodated.

PREPARTION



Never operate the tractor and tiller until you have read and completely under-

stand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety mes-

sages found on the safety signs on the tractor and tiller.

Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves

are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, re-

pairing, removal, or moving the implement. Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing, or

jewelry to be around equipment.



PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING

LOSS! Tractors with or without tillers attached can often be noisy enough to cause perma-

nent, partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time

basis if the noise in the operator’s position exceeds 80 db. Noise over 80 db on a long-

term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90 db adjacent to the operator over

a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud

noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is cumu-

lative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.



Operate the tiller only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over-Protective Sys-

tem (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury or even death could result from

falling off the tractor — particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned

under the ROPS or the tractor.

Clear area to be tilled of stones, branches or other debris that might be thrown or entan-

gled in the tiller, causing injury or damage.



Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.

Ensure tiller is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.

Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condi-

tion.

STARTING AND STOPPING SAFETY



Check the tractor master shield over the PTO stub shaft. Make sure it is in good condition

and fastened securely to the tractor. Purchase a new shield if old shield is damaged or

missing.

All tractors that are not equipped with a “live” power takeoff (PTO) need to be equipped

with an over-running PTO clutch. These are available through most farm equipment

stores. NOTE: The addition of an over-running PTO clutch may change the length of the

PTO driveline required. Pay extra attention to the instructions on the PTO Driveline Instal-

lation. Be sure that the driveline system guarding is adequate.



Tiller operating power is supplied from the tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for

PTO engagement and disengagement instructions. Know how to stop tractor and tiller

quickly in case of an emergency.

When engaging PTO, the engine RPM should always be at idle speed. Once engaged and

ready to start tilling, raise PTO speed to 540-RPM and maintain throughout tilling opera-

tion.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY



The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected

against by the mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equip-

ment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to

safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this

manual you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it

to you.



Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and

bystanders at least several hundred feet from an operating rotary tiller. Only

properly trained people should operate this machine.

When machine is operated in populated areas where thrown objects could injure

persons or property, operation must be stopped when anyone comes within

several hundred feet.

The majority of the accidents involve entanglement on the driveline, injury of by-

standers by the objects thrown by the rotating tines, and operators being

knocked off the tractor by low hanging limbs and then being run over by the

tiller. Accidents are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or rented

to someone who has not read the owner’s manual and is not familiar with a ro-

tary tiller.



The rotary tiller is designed for use only on tractors with the power take- off

(PTO) turning at 540-RPM.

Install and secure all guards and shields before starting or operating. The tiller

tines, driveline guards and tractor, shields should be used and maintained in

good working condition. They should be inspected carefully, at least daily, for

missing or broken chain links, shields, or guards. (Worn items must be replaced

at once to reduce possibility of injury.)



Disengage power takeoff (PTO) and place transmission in neutral before at-

tempting to start engine.

Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entan-

gled in the operating parts of the tiller. These items could then swing outside the

housing at greater velocities than the tines. Such a situation is extremely haz-

ardous. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before tilling. Remove any like

objects from the site.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued...



Never allow the tilling tines to contact such items. Never assume an area is

clear. Always Check!

Always stop the tractor, disengage PTO, set brake, shut off the tractor engine,

remove the ignition key, lower implement to the ground and allow rotating pieces

to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment

unattended with the tractor running.



Never place hands or feet under tiller with tractor engine running or before you

are sure all motion has stopped. Stay clear of all moving parts.

Do not reach or place any part of your body under equipment until it is blocked

securely.

Do not allow riders on the rotary tiller or tractor at anytime. There is no safe

place for any riders.

Do not operate unless all personnel, livestock, and pets are several hundred

feet away to prevent injury by thrown objects.

Never operate tractor and rotary tiller under trees with low hanging limbs. Op-

erators can be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the rotating tines.

The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged

use. However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as steel

guardrails and concrete abutment. Such impact could cause the broken objects

to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property

damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the tilling tines to contact

such obstacles.



Stop rotary tiller and tractor immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn en-

gine off, remove key, inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.

Stay alert for uneven terrain, holes, rocks, and roots and other hidden hazards.

Keep away from drop-offs and hazards that could cause roll over. Use extreme

care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting or operating on

hillsides, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be

careful and slow down when turning sharp corners and changing direction on

slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep

slopes. In extremely uneven terrain, rear wheels weights, front tractor weight,

and/or tire ballast should be used to improve stability.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued...



Pass rotary tiller diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent

“hanging up” tractor and rotary tiller. Practice will improve your skills in maneu-

vering on rough terrain. Always cut down slopes, never across the face. Always

check tractor manual for proper use on slopes.



When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on

tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal

injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front- end loader, front wheel

weights, ballast in the tires or front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum

20% of tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed

the ROPS weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not guess

or estimate!

TRANSPORT SAFETY



Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of

farm machinery on public roads.

The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some

localities prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all lighting and

marking requirements.



At all times, when driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway un-

der 20mph (32kph) use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle

(SMV) identification emblem. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce speed

on rough roads and surfaces.



Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.

Always install transport locks, pins or brackets before transporting.

Do not drink and drive.

Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations,

including narrow bridges, intersections, etc. Watch for traffic when operating

near or crossing roadways.



Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering

angle. Make certain that a least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front

wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or uneven surface. Al-

ways check tractor manual for proper use on slopes.



Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground and when operating close to

ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.

Never allow riders on either tractor or tiller.

ATTACHING TO TRACTOR

WARNING

Never stand between

tractor and rotary tiller

while backing up tractor

to the hitch.

STEP 1 Attach to tractor's category 1 three point hitch as described in

the Tractor's Operator’s Manual.

STEP 2

Determine if the PTO shaft needs to be shortened.

NOTE:

Due to the many variations in the tractor hitch points and distances between

equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO out put shafts, some combina-

tions may require PTO shafts to be shortened as described by the following

steps.

STEP 3

Raise and lower rotary tiller in order to locate the shortest distance between

equipment gearbox input shaft and tractor PTO output shaft. With the rotary

tiller in the shortest distance position shut down the tractor and SECURELY

BLOCK ROTARY TILLER IN POSITION.

ATTACHING TO TRACTOR continued....

STEP 4

Pull apart PTO shaft and attach outer section to tractor PTO output shaft.

NOTE: Be sure to pull on PTO shaft section to ensure yoke has locked into

place.

STEP 5

Place and hold inner PTO shaft section next to outer section and check if PTO

shaft is too long. Each section should end approximately 3 inches short of

reaching u-joint shield on the opposite section. If the shaft is too long measure

3 inches back from each u-joint shield and mark the other shaft section. Be sure

to do this for both PTO shaft halves. NOTE: Do not cut PTO shaft sections at

this time.

STEP 6

Raise rotary tiller and remove blocking. Raise and lower rotary tiller in order to

locate the longest distance between equipment input shaft and the tractor PTO

output shaft. With the rotary tiller in the longest distance position shut down the

tractor and SECURELY BLOCK THE ROTARY TILLER IN POSITION.

STEP 7

As in step 5 hold PTO shaft sections together and check for a minimum of 6

inches of overlap. If PTO shaft has been marked for cutting the overlap is the

distance measured between the two marks. If the PTO shaft has less than a 6

inch overlap, DO NOT USE. Contact your authorized King Kutter Dealer.

NOTE

If the PTO shaft length is too long go to SIZING PTO SHAFT (pg. 18)

STEP 8

Apply any multi-purpose grease to the outside of the male (inner) PTO shaft

section. Assemble PTO shaft and install on rotary tiller and tractor.

STEP 9

Pull on tractor side of PTO shaft yoke to be sure it has locked in place. Make

certain PTO shaft shielding is in place and good working condition.

STEP 10

The PTO shaft shield is a non-rotating design and must be secured prior to

equipment use. Using the chain on each yoke shield attach to a fixed object on

the tractor and equipment ends that will not allow the PTO shaft shield to rotate

during operation.

SIZING PTO SHAFT

STEP 1

Cutting the PTO shaft to length. NOTE: Be

sure to cut equal lengths of each PTO shaft

section. Clamp end of PTO shaft in a vice

and cut off shield where marked. (Figure 1

-A & 1-B)

STEP 2

Figure 1-A

Using cut section of the shield as a guide

cut shaft off the same amount. (Figure 2)

STEP 3

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for other PTO shaft

section.

STEP 4

Use a file to deburr PTO shafts. Clean up

all chips, burrs and filings from both ends of

the PTO shaft.

Figure 1-B

Note: If you shear the bolt that attaches

the PTO shaft to the gearbox re-

place with a grade 2 bolt only. Re-

placement with another grade of

bolt will void your warranty and may

cause terminal damage to the PTO shaft,

gearbox, or tractor.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

Before each use perform the maintenance described in maintenance section (page

20).

STEP2

Read, understand, and follow the information on safety training, preparation, starting

and stopping safety, operational safety, transport safety warning sections of this man-

ual (pages 12 thru 15).

STEP 3

With the rotary tiller positioned on level ground, adjust the tractor lift arms so that

when lifted, the rotor bar remains parallel to the ground.

STEP 4

With the rotary tiller attached to the tractor, raise and support the tiller with suitable

blocks. Adjust the skids, located on the sides of the tiller. The adjustment bolts for

both right and left sides should be positioned in the same adjustment hole. This al-

lows the tiller to till the same depth on each side. Adjust the back plate, with regulat-

ing chain, until the desired mulching effect is found.

Note: Never attempt to adjust the rotary tiller while the tractor is

running.

STEP 5

Raise the tiller and remove the blocks. Lower the tiller to the ground.

STEP 6

With the tractor at idle RPM and the tiller lifted off of the ground, engage PTO and

slowly advance throttle to 540 PTO RPM. NOTE: Rotary tiller is designed to run at

540 PTO RPM only.

STEP 7

Select a low gear for the tractor and begin to move forward. Tractor

ground speed is to be controlled by gear selection only and not engine

speed. As the tractor moves forward, slowly lower the tiller down. Allow the

tiller tines to gradually engage the ground.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

NOTE: Do not allow the tractor engine or rotary tiller to bog down or stall. This

causes undue wear and tear on the tiller and tractor. If this continues to happen

reduce ground speed and raise tilling depth of rotary tiller. Never attempt to re-

move objects from the rotor bar until the tractor has been shut down and the

tiller tines have completely stopped.

WARNING

Never travel at a fast ground speed while using the tiller, this could damage it.

Never attempt to turn the tractor or travel in reverse with the PTO engaged and

the tiller in the ground. Always raise the tiller out of the ground when backing

up or attempting to turn. Failure to due so may cause damage to the tiller.

STEP 8

After each use clean all debris from the tiller tines. Replace any missing or illegible

safety decals. Inspect for any damaged or worn parts and replace before next use.

Store rotary tiller in a dry environment.

MAINTENANCE

1). Periodically check and maintain proper gear oil level.

2). Every 8 hours, (1) grease "out-board hub", (2) PTO shaft universal joints, (3)

PTO shaft safety shield and (4) PTO telescoping surface.

NOTE: Use only a grade Type II tube grease.

NOTE: Do not grease the slip clutch assembly.

3). Before each use check to make sure all safety shields are installed and working

properly.

4). Check tiller tines for cracks and breaks before every use. Torque tine bolts to

100 ft/lbs. if you need to replace a tine.

5). Periodically check all nuts and bolts to insure they are tight and secure. The

bolts holding the top gearbox to the base plate and the “L” bracket need

to be torqued at 75 ft/lbs. Also the bolts holding the cross over shaft from

the top gearbox to the side gearbox should be torqued at 45 ft/lbs.

6). Periodically loosen torque spring bolts and allow slip clutch to slip for approxi-

mately two (2) revolutions. Loosen the bolts until the springs lose contact with

the flange yoke. This ensures that the slip clutch is not in a "locked" position.

7). Make sure that the clutch slips.

8). To retighten the slip clutch, tighten the torque spring bolts until the nut makes

contact with the flange yoke and further tighten one and a half turns (1-1/2).

This is a good starting point , further adjustments may need to be made based

on soil conditions.

NOTE: Do not over or under tighten slip clutch assembly or damage may occur.
