ROTO-TILLER SERVICE
SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of this
manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY ROTO-TILLER SERVICE
Removing Wire, Twine, Weeds, etc. that are Wrapped Around the Roller
1. Park your power unit on a level surface with this product properly attached.
2. Place your power unit’s transmission in “Park” and engage the parking brake.
3. Lower this product onto preplaced blocking that will support the motor guards of this product so that the tines are not
in contact with the ground.
WARNING
Failure to obey the following procedures could result in death or serious injury.
x Do not use blocking made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels or any other material that
could suddenly collapse or shift positions. Do not use wood or steel blocking that shows any
signs of material decay. Do not use blocking that is warped, twisted, or tapered.
4. Shut off your power unit’s engine, remove the starter key, wait for all moving parts to come to a stop, and relieve all
pressure in the hydraulic lines.
5. Disconnect the hydraulic lines from your power unit and connect the two ends to each other. This should permit the
tines to rotate freely.
6. Pull the material from the tine shaft while allowing the shaft to rotate.
ALTERNATE METHOD
If your power unit is equipped with safety stops for the lift arms of the loader that can be activated from the operator’s
position or if the safety stops must be activated from outside the operator’s position and a second person is present, then
Step 3 above may be replaced with these steps:
a) Fully raise the lift arms and fully extend the tilt cylinders to the fully dumped position.
b) Activate the safety stops for the lift arms. Test the stops to verify that no downward movement of the lift arms can
occur.
c) Continue with Step 4 above.
Replacing Tines
1. Perform steps 1 through 5 above.
2. Remove the clip and pin that secure the strip; then slide the tine out.
a) If most of the tilling is done in one direction, the tine may be reversed and reinstalled.
NOTICE
To achieve the best tilling results, all the tines should be reversed at one time, not just one or two tines
at a time.
b) If the tine is worn out or damaged, properly dispose of the tine and install a new tine.
3. Replace the pin and clip.
4. Repeat the process for all other tines.
Bearing Lock Adjustment
1. Bend the locking tang of the bearing lock washer out to free the bearing lock nut.
2. Loosen the bearing lock nut.
3. Retighten the bearing lock nut until finger - tight.
4. Tighten the lock nut an additional 1-1/4 turns and, if necessary, continue tightening until the first time one tang of the
bearing lock washer is aligned with a notch on the locknut.
5. Bend that tang of the bearing lock washer back into the notch on the lock nut.
