Handling Instructions 6. Adjustment before Attachment 6-1. Precautions about Attachment 5. Tractor 5-1. Tractor Standards Make sure there is no one around the tractor and between this machine and the tractor. This machine employs “standard three-point link” mounting system. In the “standard three- point link”, attach the top and lower links of the tractor and the universal joint of this machine by hand.
− 15 − 6-3. Method of Attaching Universal Joint 8.Attach the right lower link and lock the link pin. 9.Align the implement mounting hole in the top link (upper link) with the mounting holes of the machine. If the top link (upper link) is not aligned with the mounting pin hole, loosen the lock nuts Before attaching the universal joint, disengage the PTO clutch and stop the tractor’s on the top link and adjust its length.

Be sure to attach the universal joint clutch part to the implement side. Do not forcibly insert the universal joint with a hammer etc. It may cause the joint breakage. 6.Pull the set cover and simultaneously push the universal joint onto PTO shaft until the 9.Shorten the joint to the highest possible locking device engages.
− 17 − 6-4. Method of Cutting Universal Joint 4.Cut the inner and outer shafts at the marked position. Work with great caution when using a high speed cutter. The universal joint length depends on the type of tractor to be linked. 1.Hold the half shafts of universal joint next to each other in the shortest working position Shaft...
7. Inspections 7-3. Inspection of Rollers 7-1. Precautions before Inspection Bearing wear due to frequent use or bearing damage caused by water infiltration may prevent the roller from rotating smoothly. Inspect the roller and, if necessary, replace parts such as oil seals and bearings. 1.Make sure that there is no abrasion nor adhesion of the roller.

Oil filler cap 2.Inspect the cover for cracks, damage, abnormal wear and so on. 1.On a level surface, check that the oil level reaches the middle of the oil gauge.
Refer to the Tightening Torque table. Note that the Baroness product warranty may not apply to defects caused by incorrect or overtorque tightening, etc. A number of bolts are used in each part of this machine. Be sure to re-tighten the bolts and nuts, because they may be loosened at the earlier stage of the use.

Stop the PTO rotation before shifting the change lever. Rotate the handle clockwise to increase the coring depth. Rotate the handle counterclockwise to decrease the coring depth.
11. Traveling 10-4. Rear Roller 11-1. Precautions before Traveling ● If the rear roller is equipped, when using spike tines for coring, it functions to trample the lawn surface, so golfers will be possible to play immediately. ● When using side open tines for coring, keep the rear roller raised, to avoid to trample the grass and soil removed by the side open tines.
• Excessively high PTO rotation speed (more than 1,000 rpm) will apply excessive force to • Excessively high PTO rotation speed (TDA1200: more than 400 rpm/TDA1600: more other anomaly occurs in the machine during work, stop the engine immediately and the machine, causing breakage of the machine or spouting of oil from the gearbox.
