NTRODUCT ON AND DESCR PT ON

1-1 NTRODUCT ON

We are pleased to have you as a Bush og customer.

Your Bush og Rotary Tiller has been carefully

designed to give maximum service with minimum

down time. This manual is provided to give you the

necessary operating and maintenance instructions

for keeping your rotary tiller in top operating condi-

tion. Please read this manual thoroughly.

Understand what each control is for and how to use

it. Observe all safety precautions decaled on the

machine and noted throughout the manual for safe

operation of the implement. If any assistance or addi-

tional information is needed, contact your authorized

Bush og dealer. NOTE

All references made in this manual to right, left, front,

rear, top and bottom is as viewed facing the direction

of forward travel with implement properly attached to

tractor.

1-2 DESCR PT ON

The RTC series of rotary tillers are intended for light

duty use in an environment relatively clean of for-

eign objects such as large rocks, etc. Each tiller is

equipped with adjustable skid shoes and rear deflec-

tor shield for setting the desired operating depth and

tilth of soil. The drivetrain consists of a telescoping

input driveshaft; 90 degree transfer gearbox, cross-

shaft and chain drive rotor. Protection is provided by

a slip clutch on the driveline. The chain is self-

adjusted by a spring tension device. Major compo-

nents are identified in Figure 1-1.

PREPARAT ON FOR USE

2-1 ATTACH NG TO TRACTOR

A. Attach tiller to tractor 3-point hitch per tractor

operator’s manual. Do not attach driveline at this

time. NOTE

Due to the many variations in tractor/implement hitch

points and corresponding differences in distances

between tractor PTO shafts and implement input

shafts, drivelines may need to be shortened as

described in the following steps:

B. Raise and lower tiller to determine position

with shortest distance between the tractor PTO shaft

and gearbox input shaft. Shut down tractor, leaving

tiller in position of shortest distance. Securely block

tiller in position.

C. Pull driveline apart. Attach outer (female) sec-

tion to tractor PTO shaft. Pull on driveline section to

be sure that yoke locks into place.

D. old driveline sections parallel to each other

to determine if it is too long. Each section should end

approximately 3 inches (76mm) short of reaching

universal joint shield on opposite section. If too long,

measure 3 inches back from universal joint shield

and mark on opposite section. (Figure 2-1). Do this

for both sections.
