Fig. 2 In case of maintenance, adjustments and repair, always switch OFF the engine of the towing vehicle and the PTO. -
Page 10: Pto
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. For specific adjustments see the details given on the PTO page in the parts book. -
Page 11: Use Of Pto
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. -
Page 12: Working Depth Adjustment
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"). -
Page 13: Ground Speed
7.0 GROUND SPEED. The ground speed determines the hole spacing D in the drive direction, see fig.6. The VERTI- DRAIN doesn't need a creeper gear, however if the customer wants a close hole spacing, the ground speed should be low enough, which depends on the tractor. The gearbox has standard three different gear setting, resp. -
Page 14: Starting Procedures

Page 20: Replacing Of A Crank And Crank Bearing
14.2.2. 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. -
Page 21: Options, Core Collector
15.0 OPTIONS, CORE COLLECTOR. An easy mountable core collector is available for the 7212. The part number is 910080. 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 18 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 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.

Page 23: Options, Turf Hold Down Kit
15.1 OPTIONS, TURF HOLD DOWN KIT. A Turf Hold Down Kit can be used when the turf is coming loose. Two kits are available for the 7212. One with fingers lining up with the 12 mm ( ½”) holes of the tine holder ( part # 311.506.186) and one with finger lining up with the 18 mm (3/4”) holes (part # 311.506.188). -
Page 24: Options, Tines
The rear roller may not be locked. Use always tines with the same length and size. Replace a bent tine immediately. When this is not done, the machine can be unstable. Don’t use any thicker/ longer tines as what is offered by Redexim. -
Page 25: Hollow Tines
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. -
Page 26: Mini Needle Tines
15.3.2. MINI NEEDLE TINES Mini Needle (solid) tines need a mini needle 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 7 holes. So per block we can mount 21 mini needle tines.
