DEFINITION OF SAFETY TERMS AND SYMBOLS

Throughout this manual, the terms DANGER,WARNING, and CAUTION are used to indicate the degree of hazard to

personnel if proper safety procedures are not followed. These words will be used in conjunction with the Safety Alert

Symbol: a dark triangle containing a white exclamation mark.

The Safety Alert Symbol means:

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

WILL result in death or serious injury.

WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury;

may also be used to alert against unsafe practices which may result in personal injury.

ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH

YOUR HELP!

No accident prevention program can be successful

without the wholehearted cooperation of the person who

is directly responsible for the operation of the equipment.

To read equipment accident reports from all over the

country is to be convinced that a large number of

accidents can be prevented only by operators who

consistently anticipate the results of their actions and

thus prevent accidents from ever occurring. No power-

driven equipment, whether it is on the highway, in a farm

field, or in an industrial plant, can be any safer than the

person who is at the controls.

If accidents are to be prevented [and accidents can be

prevented], that prevention will come from equipment

operators who accept their complete responsibility.

The designer, the manufacturer, and the safety engineer

all help create a safe product, but their combined efforts

can be wiped out with a single careless act by the

operator of that product.

The best safety device is a careful operator. FFC

Attachments and your dealer ask that YOU be that

careful, responsible equipment operator.

YOU ARE THE KEY TO SAFETY BECAUSE:

YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and

maintenance of YOUR Roto-Tiller.

YOU are responsible to familiarize yourself, and anyone

else who will assemble, operate, maintain, or work

around this product, with the safety information

contained in this manual.

YOU are responsible to read ALL information contained

in this manual to any operators or maintenance

personnel who are not fully able to read the written

English language. Whether YOU read the manual as

written or translate it into another language, YOU must

make certain that all operators and maintenance

personnel have a complete understanding of the full and

exact contents of this manual. Translations of this

manual into other languages are available by submitting

a written request to FFC Attachments.

YOU can reduce the risk of injury or death by following

all safety precautions and by using good safety

practices.

WARNING

Do not lock the auxiliary hydraulics of your tractor or power unit in the “ON”

position. Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury.

ROTO-TILLER OPERATION

SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of this

manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY ROTO-TILLER OPERATION

WARNING

Failure to obey the following procedures could result in death or serious injury.

xNever lift the lowest portion of this product higher than 1’-0” above the ground while operating.

xDo not lock the auxiliary hydraulics of your power unit in the “ON” position.

xKeep everyone at least nine feet away from the unit when operating.

xThis product may be operated while moving forward or backward with your power unit.

xThe auxiliary hydraulics must be engaged so that:

¾the tines rotate down into the untilled area in the direction of travel to achieve the fastest tilling speeds

and the most efficient use of power or

¾the tines rotate up from under the untilled area in the direction of travel to achieve greatest conditioning of

the soil.

IMPORTANT Tilling while moving forward with the hinged shroud panel fully down

CAN result in damage to this product and

WILL void all FFC Attachments warranties.

xWhen tilling while moving forward, the hinged shroud panel must be chained up in a horizontal position to avoid

damaging the panel. The hinged shroud panel is not designed to push any soil or other materials.

xYour power unit should be operating at full throttle with the auxiliary hydraulics fully engaged. The speed of the

movement of your power unit should be varied as required to pulverize the soil to extent desired.

xThe maximum tilling depth is 6”. This depth is attained when the motor guard is about 1” below the surface of the

soil. Compacted soils may require two passes to reach this depth.

IMPORTANT Attempting to grind stumps or dig into rigid or frozen materials

CAN result in damage to this product and

WILL void all FFC Attachments warranties.

ROTO-TILLER MAINTENANCE

SAFETY FIRST!! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (pages 2-5 of this

manual) BEFORE BEGINNING ANY ROTO-TILLER MAINTENANCE

BEFORE EACH USE

xMake sure that all nuts and bolts are in place and properly tightened.

xMake sure that all other fasteners are in place and are performing their specified function.

xMake sure that all hydraulic fittings are tightened and that there are no leaks in any fittings or hoses.

xMake sure that all safety signs are in place, are clean, and are legible.

(SEE THE SAFETY SIGN SECTION ON PAGE 5.)

xReplace any damaged parts and excessively worn parts.

AFTER EVERY 10 HOURS OF USE

xOil the hinge at the top of the hinged shroud panel.

AFTER EVERY 40 HOURS OF USE

xMake sure the taper lock adapter assemblies are tight by turning the bearing locknut by hand.

If the bearing locknut moves by hand, retighten the taper lock adapter assembly as specified in Roto-tiller Service

(on page 8).

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.

xDo 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.
