I assume you have the three point arms on your tractor?
Back the tractor up aligned to and near the implement
On the tractor, there are two lower arms with eyes at the ends.
These eyes fit over pins on the rotavator (tiller?).
Then the upper link attaches the tractor to the top of the rotavator (center).
See this link for general instructions

And this for a video of how to do it:

For ground that has never been tilled that seems about right.
You may have to go over it several times to get to the depth you need. Be patient and go slow. You can add weight to the tiller to try to get it to go deeper but then you start to stress the tiller and the tines.
There are adjustments on the tiller for the depth. Yours should have some runners along the sides and some method to move them up or down.
Another option would be to plow it to depth and then till that. That would assume you have a plow of some type.

Like RK said slow and easy until you get it all dug up, each pass will go a little deeper, and then just let the old gal eat, you will find stuff you didn't know was there,, First time I did my big garden I found a lot of flint chips and shards, seem the area was once covered with Indian villages high on a ridge and close to a good water source. Even found a couple unfinished projectile points, SO walk through the dirt and look close you might be surprised
