1.0 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. Model 7316 Working width 1.60 mtr (5’4”) Working depth Up to 300 mm (12”) Tractor speed @ 500 rev’s at PTO Hole spacing 65 mm (2-1/2”) Up to 0.85 km/h (0.55 mph) Hole spacing 130mm( 5”) Up to 1.75 km/h (1.10 mph) Hole spacing 195mm(7-1/2”) Up to 2.60 km/h (1.60 mph) PTO speed: (max)
Fig.1. 2.0 FIRST SETUP, LIFTING MACHINE FROM PALLET The machine stands vertically up on the pallet. To remove the pallet and get the machine horizontal on the ground, handle as follows (see fig.1 ): 1. Open the rear cover 2. Connect a cable to lift point * ensure the cable/crane/lift truck can lift minimum 2000 Kg.(5000 lbs).
Fig.2. 3.0 GENERAL CONTROLS In fig.2. some key details of the machine are shown, as follows: 1. Safety decal RA, before using machine read manual. Decal is located at the toolbox with manuals and combi-tool. 2. Safety decal 911.280.402, Keep 4 mtr (14') distance to the machine + Turn engine off when maintaining or repairing machine * All decal should be on the machine and understood all the time 3.
4.0 PTO. The PTO is a very important item. It drives the machine from the tractor and ensures the safe operations when correctly maintained and installed. The PTO shaft has its own CE certification. Read the PTO shaft manual, which is connected to the shaft itself L standard = 33 mm 1.300"...
4.2 USE OF PTO For the correct use of the PTO, the following items need to be checked: 1. During work the angle of the joints may never exceed 30 degrees 2. The joints have to be in line all the time 3.
Fig.4. Fig.5. 5.0 WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT. The working depth can be adjusted when the machine is lifted from the ground as follows, see fig. 4: Unscrew nuts 1 at each side of the machine one turn. Screw spindle 3 in or out. Every revolution is 4 mm (0.160").
@ The angle of 90 degrees means that the tines penetrate perpendicular into the ground. This is only true if the machine is correctly set, see fig.1. If this isn't correct a push force F, see fig 5. is applied, which can seriously damage the machine.
Fig.7. 8.0 STARTING PROCEDURES The starting procedure is VERY important. If the start up is not done as described hereunder, serious damage to the machine may occur. Proceed as follows, see fig.7.: 1. Drive to the spot you want to start the operation. 2.
9.0 GENERAL USAGE OF VERTI-DRAIN The VERTI-DRAIN can only be used when the circumstances are right. Check the following items: 1. Are there any loose objects on the field. If so, these must be removed first. 2. Are there any slopes. The maximum slope for the VERTI-DRAIN is 20 degrees. Always operate the VERTI-DRAIN from the top to the bottom of a slop.
12.0 PROBLEM ANALYSIS Machine vibrates Crankshaft rotates irregular Machine not at 90 degrees PTO joint angles different PTO joints not in line Tough circumstances Adjust working depth Use thinner/ shorter tines If dry, irrigate first Solid/ hollow tines Wrong tine Change tine, use shorter one Are bending/ breaking Use solids first before hollow to...

15.0 TECHNICAL INFORMATON Generally speaking, this Verti-Drain is not a complicated machine. A couple of technical items will be explained. If you still have questions, please contact your dealer, who is willing to assist you. 15. TORQUE SETTINGS. In fig. 8 the torque settings of the most important bolts/nuts are given. For the ones the torque setting is not mentioned, please be sure that they are tightened as a similar size bolt/nut would be tightened.
Fig.9. 15.2 THE CRANKSHAFT In fig.9. the assembly of the crankshaft is given. Also look at the spare part page for a more clear view and set up. On a 7516 the angle between the handles on the gearbox should be 60 degrees. 15.2.1 REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION OIL SEAL.
15.2.2. REPLACEMENT OF A CRANK WITH BEARING Replacing a crank is necessary when it is cracked or when the big end nuts start to come loose on a regular base. Either the crank bearing, the crank bearing fitting or the big end pin holes in the crank are damaged.
Fig.10. 16.0 OPTIONS, WHEEL KIT. The part number for a full transport kit for the 7316 is 9200100. This kit will be separately delivered and can be mounted to a standard 3-point linkage machine. Generally speaking, a machine with wheel kit will reduce the minimum horsepower required by 5 HP It also can be taken off quickly, so the machine can be used either way 16.0.1 MOUNTING THE WHEELKIT TO THE MACHINE On attached pages a detailed sketch is given from the assembly of the wheelkit of the 7316.
hole at support AD. When the shaft is in place mount bolt S with washer R. Do not tighten the bolt. 6. Continue to do exactly the same at the other side of the machine. Since the wheel kit is symmetric, all parts are the same.
Fig.11. 16.1 OPTIONS, CORE COLLECTOR. An easy mountable core collector is available for the 7316. The part number is 920080. ASSEMBLING INSTUCTIONS ( see Fig 11): Preparation of the Verti-Drain: Fit eye bolts 24 to the main frame 26 Assemble bushes 15 with the new longer bolts I to the rear roller supports. @ These bushes can stay on the machine all the time @ Use washers 16 to align the bushes to the rear roller scraper support.
Page 22
USER INSTRUCTIONS: When the core collector and the Verti-Drain are well prepared, the core collector supports 17 can be slided (X) onto the bushes 15. Secure it with R pins 19. The rear roller is of the ground, when the core collector is attached. It the clearance is not enough, do NOT remove the rear roller ( since the weight is needed) but turn the roller up by taking on bearing bolt out.
Fig.12. 16.2 OPTIONS, TURF HOLD DOWN KIT. (Old set till serial number A00127) A Turf Hold Down Kit can be used when the turf is coming loose. Two kits are available for the 7316. One with fingers lining up with the 12 mm ( ½”) holes of the tine holder ( part # 9200045) and one with finger lining up with the 18 mm (3/4”) holes (part # 9200047).
16.3 OPTIONS, TINES Tines are essential for the correct working of the machine. Several tines are available for this machine, see the spare part pages for a total overview. Generally speaking, tines can be divided into two categories: Solids and Hollows. We advise using genuine tines, since they are fully adapted to the machine.
Shorter (worn) tines can be used in case shallower penetration is required. The machine doesn’t need to be adjusted that much at that time. Note that the depth reading on the decal is only correct when using the full maximum length tine If oval holes are created, it means that we have a weak top layer and a hard pan underneath.
Fig.14. 16.4.2. MINI NEEDLE TINES. Mini Needle (solid) tines need another adapter block. The two studs D ( fig 14, right) fit a 12 mm ( ½”) hole C of the standard machine tine head. Per adapter block we have 3 rows with each 8 holes. So per block we can mount 24 mini needle tines. If a full mounted block damages the turf, reduce the number of tines, like is shown in I, II and III.
