Connect the Turf-Tidy to the tractor. With turnbuckles 10 we can adjust the machine height to the ground. The size A should be 805 mm (32”). When correctly adjusted, we will use the maximum stroke of the head. For PTO information, see Chapter 5. Next the hydraulic hose should be connected to a (single) acting outlet of the tractor.
3.2 THE SHORT- COUPLED- VERSION. The model 1310 can be used as a short coupled version as well, which means that the machine is connected to the two bottom arms 12 of the tractor’s 3-point linkage, see Fig.4. Read Chapter 3.1. carefully as well, regarding all comments and notes for the hydraulics and electrical connections.
4.0 GENERAL CONTROLS. As the machine with tractor is ready for use, an overview of key components on the Turf- Tidy are explained, as follows, see Fig.5 as well: 1. Top door hopper. 2. Opening for air to escape. 3. Window for checking filling rate op hopper. 4.
17. Safety decal 911.280.402: Keep distance to the machine, switch off engine and lock machine when maintaining or adjusting and be aware of moving parts. 18. Lift cable. 19. Shoe. Should be close to the ground all the time. So adjust them when height is altered.
5.1 PTO LENGTH. The length of the PTO is very important. When too long, the transmission of the tractor and/or TURF TIDY may be damaged. When the overlap length of the tubes drops under 300 mm (12") anytime, the PTO may get damaged as well. The size B, fig.2,3,4., should be 100 mm (4”) minimum to allow the PTO tubes to move freely all the time.
6.2 ADJUSTING THE REAR ROLLER. As mentioned in 5.1, the rear roller 22 (Fig 5.) should be close to the ground to prevent scalping of the turf when the machine is used as a scarifier or sweeper. To adjust the rear roller, work as follows see fig.6.: Be sure the engine is shut off •...
7.0 GROUND SPEED / POWER REQUIREMENTS. The ground speed is directly related to the power needed for the job. The more power, the lower the forward speed. If we are transmitting too much power, the following may happen: the V belts may start to slip. The blades are swinging more around the pins, causing excessive wear on pins and holes The blades are wearing quicker and in a wrong direction.
8.0 GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE TURF TIDY The TURF TIDY can only be used when the circumstances are right. First some items regarding the working area: 1. Are there any loose objects on the field. If so, these must be removed first. 2.
10.0 PROBLEM ANALYSIS Machine vibrates Missing blades/ brushes Check and replace Rotor out of balance Check for damages and or material wrapped around PTO shaft damaged Check carefully Drive line vibrates Adjust working conditions Ground conditions Use wide angle PTO Are the brushes damaged Check and replace.
Check components for wear 12.0 EU-Declaration We, Redexim Utrechtseweg 127 3702 AC Zeist Holland, hereby declare fully on our authority that the product: TURF TIDY 1310/ 1710, WITH MACHINE NUMBER AS INDICATED ON THE MACHINE AND MENTIONED IN THIS MANUAL, to which this declaration relates is according to the stipulation of the 2006/42/EC directive for machines.
13.0 TECHNICAL ISSUES. 13.1 BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT. The main rotor is driven directly from the gearbox via 2 V-belts at the right side of the head. At the left side, the V belt drive for the second rotor is taken from the main rotor. Both belts are tensioned via an identical idler.
5. Rotate the pulleys by hand and check the alignment. If okay, assemble the protection cover. @ When the V-belts are worn, adjusting the tension wouldn’t help preventing the slip. Replace the V-belts. @ Do not overtighten the belts. Damage to the machine may appear. 13.2 REPOSITIONING THE HEAD.
14.1 SCARIFYING BLADES. The Turf Tidy is standard delivered with fixed scarifier blades 2 ( see Fig. 9.). When hard objects are to be expected, reduce the rpm’s of the PTO till about 300 rpm’s. The blades may break and dangerous circumstances may appear. Do not replace any worn blades for new ones.
14.3 BRUSH KIT. The Turf Tidy can also be used as a sweeper. A brush kit is necessary to transform the unit into a sweeper unit. Sweeping can be done on grass or hard surfaces. With grass sweeping, we advise using the standard front roller 5 ( fig.6.). If we want to sweep hard areas, the wheel assembly is needed.
14.5 DUAL WHEEL KIT 1310. The Turf Tidy 1310 can be equipped with dual wheels at the back for less imprints on the turf. Basically two extra wheels with support ( 14 in Fig.4) are added to the Turf-Tidy. Remove bar 13 ( Fig.4.) and add the supports with plates 15 and 16 into holes 17 of the main frame.
