the suspension arm.
Note: Do not raise the suspension to the transport
position when the reel motors are in the holders in the
machine frame. Damage to the motors or hoses could
result. If you must move the traction unit without
the spiker units installed, secure the motors to the
suspension arms using cable ties.
4. Open the latches on the suspension-arm bar of the
spiker unit you are removing.
5. Disconnect the latches from the spiker unit bar.
6. Roll the spiker unit out from under the suspension arm
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the other spiker units as
required.
Operation
Training
Before spiking greens, find a clear area to practice starting,
stopping, raising, lowering, and rolling with the spiker. This
training will help the operator gain experience and confidence
with the spiker before using it on a green.
Operating Tips
•
Maintain a straight line when spiking. Do not turn the
machine when the spikers are on the ground.

•
When you reach the edge of the green, raise the spikers
before turning or stopping the machine. The spikers must
be raised completely before making turns.
•
Survey the green to determine if there are any obstacles
that will be damaged or will damage the spikers, such as
sprinkler heads or other protruding objects.
Maintenance
Lubrication
Lubricate the 2 grease fittings (Figure 5) on each spiker unit
after every 15 hours of operation using a #2 multi-purpose
lithium-based grease. For best results, a hand operated grease
gun is recommended.
1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
2. Apply grease to the spiker shaft bearings until you feel
pressure (Figure 5).
