Detail A PTO−cover Lock Hole Hole 4 Verti-Drain 7621 Pin 3 Fig. 8 2.0 FIRST INSTALLATION, REMOVING THE MACHINE FROM THE PALLET The machine is standing vertically on the pallet. To remove the pallet and lay the machine horizontally, carry out the following steps (see fig. 8): 1.
3.0 The PTO shaft The PTO shaft is a very important part. It provides the driving force from the tractor and – if installed, used, and maintained correctly – ensures safe use of the machine. The PTO shaft has its own CE certificate. Make sure to read the PTO shaft manual. It is located on the PTO shaft itself.
3.2 OPERATION OF THE PTO SHAFT To ensure correct operation of the PTO, check the following items: 1. During operation, the angle of the joints must never be greater than 30 degrees. 2. The rotating points should be aligned. 3. The overlap of the sleeves must be at least 150 mm. 4.
Fig. 11 Fig. 12 4.0 OPERATING-DEPTH ADJUSTMENT The operating depth can be adjusted when the machine is raised (before start of use) or during operation in the ground when the machine is in use, see fig. 11. The machine is equipped with a hydraulic operating-depth adjustment that can be operated from the tractor by activating the hydraulic output of the tractor.
Fig. 13 6.0 DRIVING SPEED The hole distance D, fig. 13, in the driving direction is determined by the drive speed. The ® Verti-Drain does not require creep gear. If the client wants a small hole distance, however, it must be possible to ride slowly enough, which depends on the tractor. The gearbox has standard three different gear setting, resp.
Fig. 14 7.0 START PROCEDURE The start procedure is VERY important. If this procedure is not followed exactly as described below, serious damage may occur to the machine. The start procedure is as follows, see fig. 1. Ride to the area where you want to begin. 2.
® 8.0 OPERATION OF THE VERTI-DRAIN Before the Verti-Drain® is used in the field, the following should be checked: Are there any loose objects in the field? Remove these first. Are there any slopes? The maximum slope that can be worked with this machine is 20 degrees.
11.0 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible cause Solution Machine vibrates. Crankshaft turns irregularly Machine not at 90 degrees. Angles of the PTO joints are different. Joints of PTO are not in line. Heavy conditions Adjust the operating depth. Use thinner/shorter pins. If conditions are dry, water soil. Solid/hollow pins Wrong pin Change the pin, use shorter pin.
Crankshaft problems. Big-end nuts come loose Eliminate the vibration, see vibration. Crankshaft bearing worn. Incorrectly installed after repair. Remove, clean, use Loctite. Rear roller vibrates. Rear roller locked Unlock it. Rear roller is raised when Change the rotational speed of pricking with hollow pins the PTO.

14.2 THE CRANKSHAFT The crankshaft assembly is shown in figure 16. A more detailed drawing can be found on the parts page.For a 7621, the offset between the crankshaft throws in the gearbox must be 36 degrees. 14.2.1 REPLACEMENT OF AN OIL CATCHER A top view of the crankshaft assembly is shown in figure 16.
14.2.3 Releasing crankshaft tension If parts of the crankshaft have been replaced, the crankshaft may be more difficult to turn. Pre-tension can be the cause. It is necessary to eliminate the sources of tension as follows, see fig. 16: 1. Use a hammer to tap the centre of the throw next to the gearbox, alternating between the left and right side.
One with plates for the holes of 12 mm pins (part # 211.762.100) of the pin block and one with plates for the holes of 24 mm pins (part # 211.762.102) of the pin block. The Verti-Drain 7621 is equipped standard with a pre-mounted main beam on which the turf hold-down fingers can be mounted.
15.1 OPTIONS, PINS Pins are essential for the correct operation of the machine. There are various pins available for this machine; see the parts page for a complete overview. In general, the pins can be divided into two categories: solid and hollow pins. We advise you to use only original pins because they are completely adapted to the machine.
Always use pins with the same diameter and length. Replace a bent pin immediately. If this happens, the machine can become unstable. Do not use thicker and/or longer pins than we supply. Extra reinforcement plates are delivered standard with the machine. It is advisable to use these for solid pins to increase the lifespan of the tine holders.
