TRANSPORT OPERATION

To begin transport operation, raise the aerator, disengage the PTO
and set the parking brake. Raise safety/transport stops and lower
aerator onto stops. To avoid loss of control, traverse steep inclines
slowly, approach rough areas at reduced speed and cross severe
undulations carefully.
Important: Do not exceed transport speeds of 24 kmh on
smooth level terrain. use slower speed for more adverse condi-
tions.
INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP AFTER
USE
After each use, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose
without a nozzle so contamination and seal and bearing damage due
to excessive water pressure will be avoided. A brush may be used to
remove caked—on material. Use a mild detergent soap to clean the
cover. After cleaning, inspect for machine damage, gear oil leakage,
component and tine wear.

CHANGING TINES

1. Raise aerator, disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
Raise safety/transport stops and lower aerator onto stops.
2. Loosen locknuts securing tines and remove tines (Fig.4 ).
3. Install replacement tines and tighten the locknuts to secure the
tines in position.
4. If slotted tines are used, slots should face forward for front row
of tines and rearward for rear row of tines. The cores from
these tines are ejected thru the slots, not thru the holes in the
tine holders

STOMPER ASSEMBLIES

IMPORTANT: Within the first five hours of initial machine opera-
tion and every 25 hours operation thereafter, all stomper assemblies
must be checked for excessive lateral play. This must be done or
major machine component failure may result. Refer to Checking
Stomper Assemblies.
