always perform changes and reverse of direction with PTO disengaged and the tiller slightly lifted
from the ground to avoid damage to the machine;
periodically check for foreign objects wrapped around the rotor shaft and remove them, after
disengaging PTO, turning off tractor engine, and removing ignition key;
if the blades strike a foreign object, or in case of prolonged intervention of the clutch due to an
object wedged into the rotor, stop operating immediately, idle the engine speed and disengage
the PTO. Wait for stopping of all rotating parts, then raise the implement and proceed to removing
the object, after stopped the tractor, set the parking brake, stopped engine and removed the
ignition key. Repair any damages immediately, and make sure rotor and blades are in good
condition before restarting operation;
avoid friction clutch overheating caused by too long or too frequent slipping of the clutch, since
this can damage the friction plates and clutch parts.
Typical problems that may occur operating the tiller are described into Troubleshooting section,
together with their solutions.
