SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

It has been said “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.

TRAINING

Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.

Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instructions.

Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

PREPARATION

Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

Before putting equipment into service, check and adjust driveline length as instructed in Operator's Manual. Driveline must not bottom out or pull apart throughout the full range of the tractor hitch. Do not operate until driveline length is correct.

Before starting power unit, check all equipment driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drivelines, repair and replace bearings before putting equipment into service.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.

Remove accumulated debris from this equipment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, front tractor wheels could raise up resulting in loss of steering. The weight may be attained with front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.

Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

OPERATION

Only engage power when equipment is at ground operating level. Always disengage power when equipment is raised off the ground.

OPERATION

The TC rotary tiller is designed for completion of plowing operations and seedbed preparation. It breaks up clods, levels the soil surface, destroys weeds, and mixes in fertilizer. Refer to the information in this manual for the specifications, parts, assemblies, and adjustments.

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this rotary tiller. The operator must be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the tractor, tiller, and all safety practices before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 5 through page 9.

Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.

Do not allow bystanders in the area when operating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servicing equipment.

Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and secured. Never place any part of the body underneath equipment or between moveable parts even when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or movement of control levers can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Operator's Manual instructions for working underneath and blocking requirements or have work done by a qualified dealer.

Before dismounting power unit or performing any service or maintenance, follow these steps: disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point hitch and all raised components to the ground, operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat belt.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

Operate tractor PTO at 540 RPM. Do not exceed.

Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

ATTACHING ROTARY TILLER TO TRACTOR

1.Move the tractor into position in front of the tiller. Move back slowly and carefully, not allowing anyone to be between the tractor and the tiller.

2.Turn off tractor engine.

3.Attach the two lower arms of the 3-point hitch with the two hitch-pin assemblies.

4.Attach the tractor center link to the upper hitch point of the rotary tiller. Adjust the length of the center link until the tops of the frame ends are parallel to the ground.

5.Adjust the tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway devices to prevent tiller from swinging side to side during transport.

6.Attach the front PTO driveline from the rotary tiller to the tractor. (Slide the front section of the PTO driveline into the back section. Slide the PTO shaft onto the rear PTO output of the tractor).

NOTICE

If the PTO driveline is too long, severe driveline and gearbox damage is possible when hooking up the PTO driveline from the rotary tiller to the tractor. The front PTO driveline is long enough to fit a variety of tractors. It is possible that the front PTO driveline will need to be cut. There will be NO benefit by cutting only one telescoping section. Both sections of the driveline must be cut. DO NOT FORCE THE PTO TO FIT.

WARRANTY IS VOID IF THE PTO DRIVELINE IS TOO LONG, resulting in gearbox, PTO, yoke or cross bearing damage.

NOTE: The PTO driveline, when attached to the tractor and gearbox, must not extend so there is less than four inches of overlap within the PTO driveline.

7. Raise jackstand and secure in operating position.

10 Operation

(Rev. 6/7/2011) MAN0813 (3/17/2010)

DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT

Attach the rotary tiller to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and lower the tiller to determine maximum and minimum distance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will be too short for proper engagement. If the distance is too small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and damage the tiller or tractor.

If the driveline is too short, please call your Woods dealer for a longer driveline.

If the driveline is too long, please follow the instructions for shortening the driveline.

SHORTENING DRIVELINE

1.Move the tiller up and down to get the shortest possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft. Leave the tiller in the minimum distance position. Install jack stands under the tiller for support.

2.Separate the driveline into two halves and connect them to the tractor and the gearbox.

3.Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine how much to shorten the driveline.

Figure 1. Drive Halves Placed Parallel

4.Measure from end of the upper shield to the base of the bell on the lower shield (A). Add 1-1/4" to dimension (A).

Operation 11

 

 

 

8.File and clean the cut ends of both drive halves. Ensure the drive halves slide smoothly together.

Do not run the tractor if proper driveline engagement cannot be obtained through these methods.

Connect the driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure the spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locks driveline to PTO shaft.

NOTICE

If attaching with quick hitch, the distance between the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft will increase. Please follow the steps as you would for a 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.

WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

1.Raise the tiller off the ground.

2.Level tiller side to side. Check by measuring from the forward skid shoe pivot to the ground on each side. (Figure 5)

3.Adjust, using tractor 3-point arm leveling device.

NOTE: Keep the front of the tiller parallel to the ground.

4.Place two jack-stands under the tiller rotor shaft.

Figure 5. Leveling the Tiller

5.Loosen the 1/2” cap screws that act as the front pivots to the skid shoes. Remove the 1/2” cap screws (63) that hold the rear of the skid shoes to the tiller frame.

6.Adjust the skid shoe to the desired tilling depth (Figure 6). Reinstall the cap screws in the rear of the skid shoe and tighten all cap screws.

NOTE: Tillage depth is dependent on ground hardness, tractor speed, skid shoe setting, and tractor hitch adjustment. Multiple passes may be necessary to achieve tillage depth.

TILLER SIDE SHIFT ADJUSTMENT

Make sure parking stand is secured in the down position and skid shoes are in hole one before performing the following service work.

1.Disconnect tiller from tractor.

2.Measure rear tractor tire width (outside to outside).

3.Calculate side shift needed. Divide rear tractor tire width by two and tiller width by two. Subtract tiller width from tractor width and add five inches. Check maximum tiller side shift capability on the specification page of this manual, page 4. The calculated side shift must be less than the maximum side shift. (Example: Tractor rear tire width = 70”, TC60 Tiller = 60”. 70/2 = 35”, 60/2 = 30”. 35-30 = 5” + 5” extra = 10” side shift.

4.Loosen nuts on U-bolts on lower clevis hitch (4), U- bolts on front gearbox stand (2), and bolts at the back of the gearbox stand (2). See Figures 7 and 8.
