Maintenance
11. Before servicing the machine, raise the coring
head, disengage power to the aerator, shift the
prime mover to neutral and set the parking brake.
Lift the safety/transport stands to their full upright
position and lower the coring head onto the stands.
Stop the engine. Disconnect the PTO shaft and
hydraulic hose connection.
12. Make sure the machine is in safe operating condi-
tion. Keep nuts, bolts and screws tight. Check the
tine mounting nuts and bolts frequently to ensure
they are tightened to specification.
13. Before applying hydraulic pressure to the system,
be sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition.
14. Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under
high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your
hands, to search for leaks. Hydraulic fluid escap-
ing under pressure can have sufficient force to pen-
etrate your skin and do serious damage. If fluid is
injected into your skin, it must be removed within a
few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
