FOREWORD Congratulations on your Carrier purchase! For safe and long-lasting operation of the Carrier, it is necessary to read and to understand this user manual. It is impossible to work safely with this machine without complete knowledge of its contents. The Carrier is NOT a machine that cultivates the soil independently.
! SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ! The Carrier is designed for safe use. This can only be achieved if you completely follow the safety instructions described in this manual. Read and understand the manual before you (Figure 1) start using the Carrier. If the machine is not used as described in this manual, Figure 1 this can result in injuries and/or damage to the Carrier.

NEVER crawl under the Carrier! NEVER check the processing machine while the Carrier’s engine is running. When carrying out maintenance, adjustments and repairs, it is necessary to block the Carrier in order to prevent it from sinking away, driving off and/or sliding off. Always switch off the motor and take the key out of the ignition in carrying out maintenance, adjustments and repairs (Figure 2)

These safety stickers must always be clearly visible and legible and must be replaced if they have become damaged. Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 6a During operation, NO persons are allowed within the danger zone of the Carrier, because there is danger of physical injuries caused by moving components.

TECHNICAL DATA Model Carrier Speed Maximum 3.8 km/h (2.4 mph) Weight 618 kg (1362.5 lbs) Dimensions (L x W x H) 2615mm x 1380mm x 1135 mm 103” x 54.3” x 44.7” Motor Briggs and Stratton B&S 31 HP Fuel Petrol Content of the fuel tank 22.7 litres (6 gallon)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Carrier is a machine/vehicle that can be used for various work activities in combination with certain processing machines e.g., the Verti-Drain 1513 for grass aeration.
FIRST INSTALLATION – TAKING THE MACHINE OFF THE PALLET Figure 8 The machine is placed horizontally on the pallet. To remove the pallet and to place the machine horizontally on the ground, you take the following steps (see Figure 8) NEVER crawl under the machine! Remove the wheels (1) from the wheel pallet (2).
OPERATING THE CARRIER Later models: Figure 9 The Carrier is operated by means of a number of handles that are located on the steering bar. The parking brake (1) The parking brake is solely intended for blocking the machine. If the Carrier is not used with the steering bar, the machine must always be in the parking position (towards the engine block).
Page 14
The speed handle (3) The speed handle is used for adjusting the driving speed of the Carrier. The five adjustments enable setting the driving speed of the Carrier to five different speeds, depending on the required cultivation by the processing machine. The speeds are set in advance, with a maximum of 3.8 km/h (2.4 mph).

Line marker (8) The machine is equipped with a line marker. In combination with the Verti-Drain 1513 as the previous course with holes will be followed, at 55 mm (2.1 ") distance between the new job be pricked. In this way, the user can use the machine in the most efficient way. When the line marker is not necessary.
ATTACHING A MACHINE TO THE CARRIER The Carrier may only be used with approved Redexim by machines. When using non-approved machines void the warranty and Redexim is not responsible for any consequential damages or injury. Checking procedure before starting to attach the Carrier: −...
2. Reverse the vehicle carefully so that the lower lifting arms (2) of the Carrier can be attached to the processing machine. 3. Attach the PTO (3) to the Carrier. Make sure that the Carrier is blocked well and cannot move on its own accord! Turn the Carrier off before starting to attach a machine! Make sure that the processing machine stands stable and cannot roll...
BALLASTING WHEELS For ballast the wheel can be filled with water. Antifreeze can be added to the water. The wheel is rotated so that the valve is located at the top. Then the valve is removed, in the opening the filling nipple is placed. Than connect the water hose on to the nippel. After the filling, remove the nipple and the replace the valve.
TRANSPORTING THE CARRIER It is prohibited to drive the Carrier on public roads. Therefore, the Carrier (with or without the processing machine) should always be transported to the cultivation site and only then it can be used. In view of the Carrier’s weight and balance, it is advised to unload the Carrier without an attached machine.
THE WORKING SPEED It is possible to adjust the driving speed of the Carrier to different speeds. However, its maximum working speed is limited to 3.8 km/h (2.4 mph). This corresponds to the average walking speed and therefore, it is recommended not to change this (e.g., to increase). USING THE CARRIER Before using the Carrier in a location, you should check the following items: 1.
Page 21
Later models: Figure 15 6. Start the motor of the Carrier. 7. Put the accelerator handle (2) in the middle position. 8. Set the required driving speed by operating the speed handle (3). 9. Switch the electric clutch ON by operating the main switch (4). 10.
10.0 DETACHING A MACHINE FROM THE CARRIER Figure 16 The machine can be detached from the vehicle in the following manner (See Figure 16) 1. Drive the Carrier to a parking area with a firm/flat surface. Make sure that the Carrier is blocked well and cannot move on its own accord! Switch the Carrier OFF before detaching the processing machine! 2.
6. Start the Carrier and drive off. 11.0 ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE V-BELTS The Carrier has two systems that are driven by V-belts. Standard setting A = 8mm (0.3") B = 13mm (0.5") Figure 17 First, the motor drives the pump by means of a single V-belt. To adjust the tension of this V- belt, the entire pump unit should be moved away from the motor until the V-belt is at the correct tension (See Figure 17)
Page 24
3. Slide the pump unit outwards (away from the motor) by turning to the nuts (4) in order to put tension on the V-belt (2). 4. Check the tension of the V-belt by hanging a weight of 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) at point A. The clearance of the V-belt should be 3.7 mm (0.14”).
11.1 PRECISION ADJUSTMENT OF THE DRIVING SPEED If the driving speed of the Carrier needs adjusting, it can be adjusted by altering the stop bolt of the pump (See Figure 17) 1. Remove the protective cover (1). − FULL RANGE ADJUSTMENT 2.
11.2 ENGAGING MOMENT OF THE PTO In the Carrier, the engaging moment of the PTO is regulated automatically when the attached machine is moved downward. The engaging moment can be changed as follows (See Figure 19) Fig. 19 1. Lower the machine up to the point when the PTO should be engaged. 2.
12 TROUBLE SHOOTING (PROBLEM ANALYSIS) Problem Possible cause Solution Engine does not start/run. Battery is empty. Check the battery. Charge or replace the battery. Wiring is damaged. Check the wiring for short-circuits. Check the battery terminals. No petrol Check the petrol level. Use the choke.
13 MAINTENANCE Time schedule Check/Grease point Method Before every use Check for loose bolts/nuts. Tighten loose bolts/nuts with the correct tightening moment. Check engine oil level + Supplement if necessary hydraulics Presence and readability of the Replace these if not present or safety stickers damaged.
14 OPTIONAL: SAFETY BUTTON KIT Important! First of all, the following safety precautions must always be observed: Always look in the same direction as the direction of movement of the machine. So if you move forward, then look forward. If you move backwards, then look backwards. Plan your operation route in advance and know where the obstacles are to avoid contact with you and the obstacles.
