Page 11: The Pto
THE PTO The PTO is an essential part of the machine. This part drives the machine from the tractor, and ensures safe use of the machine, providing it has been maintained and installed correctly. The PTO has its own CE certification. -
Page 12: Pto Use
3.2 PTO USE Proper use of the PTO requires checking the following items: 1. While the Verti-Core III is operating, the angle of the pivoting points must never exceed 30 degrees. 2. Pivoting points must always be in line. 3. Sleeve overlap must be at least 150 mm. 4. - Page 13 4. Annual maintenance: - Remove the PTO from the machine - Inspect the PTO components. All damaged parts must be replaced. - Disassemble the slip clutch by removing all spring assembly bolts/nuts; the slip clutch should then fall apart. - Lay all parts down and check them closely.

Page 15: Setting The Working Depth
SETTING THE WORKING DEPTH Fig. king dept hine lifte d off grou (see Fig.10) The procedure is as follows: !! Make sure the tractor/Verti-Core III are secured in place, and cannot start moving !! !! Switch the tractor off prior to getting off !! 1. -
Page 16: Driving Speed
DRIVING SPEED Driving speed is limited to 12 km/h (7.5mph). We advise against going any faster because that could lead to excessive wear and damage to the machine and the treated lawn. Hole spacing in the driving direction is determined by the driving speed. The input speed of the PTO shaft must not exceed 540 rpm. -
Page 17: Using The Verti-Core Iii
Stop as follows: 1. Lower the engine rpm to about 1000. 2. Raise the machine from the ground. 3. Disengage the PTO shaft, as soon as the tines are out of the ground. 4. Raise the machine further, until the tines are at least 120 mm above the ground. 5. -
Page 18: Transporting The Verti-Core Iii
TRANSPORTING THE VERTI-CORE III The user is responsible for the transport of the Verti-Core III behind the tractor on public roads. Check national legislation for regulations for driving on public roads. Do not exceed a speed of 12 km/h on open fields, due to the weight of the Verti-Core III. Higher speeds can pose a serious danger to the operator/bystanders, and could possibly damage the machine. -

Page 24: Technical Information
TECHNICAL INFORMATION The Verti-Core III is generally not a complicated machine. A number of technical items will be explained further. If you still have questions after that, you should contact your dealer, who will be happy to help you. Fig. 15 Figure 15 depicts the structure of the crankshaft. -
Page 25: Releasing Crankshaft Tension
14.2 RELEASING CRANKSHAFT TENSION When crankshaft parts have been replaced, the shaft can run less smoothly. This can be down to pretensioning. These tensions have to be released. Act as follows, see Fig. 15: 1. Unscrew the nuts (3) of the bearings (4) a few turns. 2. - Page 26 Fig 17. Fig. 16+17 shows the torques of the most important nuts/bolts. Make sure that bolts and nuts for which the torque is not shown here, are tightened with the same tightening torque as similar bolts and nuts. When bolts and nuts come loose, you can use Loctite to tighten them.

Page 27: Options
15.0 OPTIONS The Verti-Core III is intended as a hollow core machine. Always use tines with the same length and thickness. Replace bent tines right away. If you fail to do so, the machine can become unstable. Do not use tines that are thicker and longer than specified in the technical specifications. -
Page 28: Turf Hold Down Fingers
When aerating using hollowing tines, cores are removed from the ground. The Windrow kit ensures that these cores are subsequently gathered so that they can be removed easily after working on the lawn. This kit is available under number: - 212.160.018 -> Verti-Core III 1600 - 212.210.002 -> Verti-Core III 2100...
