® Before each use, inspect the Verti-Drain for loose bolts/nuts/parts. If present, inspect the hydraulic hoses regularly and replace them if they are damaged or show signs of wear. The replacement hoses must meet the manufacturer’s technical specifications. Always relieve the pressure from the hydraulic installation, if present, before carrying out any work on it.

4.0 The PTO shaft The PTO shaft is a very important part. It provides the driving force from the tractor and – if installed, used, and maintained correctly – ensures safe use of the machine. The PTO shaft has its own CE certificate. Make sure to read the PTO shaft manual. It is located on the PTO shaft itself.
4.2 OPERATION OF THE PTO SHAFT To ensure correct operation of the PTO, check the following items: 1. During operation, the angle of the joints must never be greater than 30 degrees. 2. The rotating points should be aligned. 3. The overlap of the sleeves must be at least 150 mm. 4.
PIN ANGLE ADJUSTMENT All pins can be simultaneously adjusted with a centrally-placed handle, located on the side of the machine, see fig. 12. Lift the machine above the ground and loosen nut 2 on both sides of the machine. Adjust the angle by turning the handle. The angle can be read on the sticker. Retighten the nuts.
8.0 START PROCEDURE The start procedure is VERY important. If this procedure is not followed exactly as described below, serious damage may occur to the machine. The start procedure is as follows, see fig. 1. Drive to the place where you want to start. 2.
® 10.0 TRANSPORT OF THE VERTI-DRAIN ® The user is responsible for the transport of the Verti-Drain behind the tractor when travelling on public roads. Check the national traffic regulations. On open fields, a maximum speed of 12 km/h (8 mph) should be observed, because of the weight of the Verti-Drain®. A higher speed may endanger the driver and/or other people and may even damage the machine.
12.0 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible cause Solution Machine vibrates Crankshaft turns irregularly Machine not at 90 degrees. Angles of the PTO joints are different. Joints of PTO are not in line. Heavy conditions Adjust the operating depth. Use thinner/shorter pins. If conditions are dry, water soil. Solid/hollow pins Wrong pin Change the pin, use shorter pin.
V-belts are slipping. V-belt tension too low Adjust the V-belt tension (see section 15.3). Replace V-belts. V-belts are worn Hole distances not V-belt tension too low Adjust the V-belt tension (see equal section 15.3). Replace V-belts. V-belts are worn 13.0 MAINTENANCE Time schedule Check point/lubricating Method...

15.0 TECHNICAL INFORMATION Fig. 16 15.1 THE CRANKSHAFT The crankshaft assembly is shown in figure 16. A more detailed drawing can be found on the parts page. For a 7110, the offset between the crankshaft throws in the gearbox must be 60 degrees. 15.1.2.
15.1.3 Releasing crankshaft tension If parts of the crankshaft have been replaced, the crankshaft may be more difficult to turn. Pre-tension can be the cause. It is necessary to eliminate the sources of tension as follows, see fig. 16: 1. Use a hammer to tap against the centre of the throw, starting with throw 1 located next to the V-belt drive.
15.3 TENSIONING THE V-BELT DRIVE Fig. 18 If the Verti-Drain machine does not function properly and stands still with the pins in the ground while the transmission is driven, it is possible that the V-belt pre-tension must be adjusted. This works as follows, see Fig.
You can use a turf hold-down kit when the turf layer comes loose. A Turf Hold Down Kit can be supplied for the 12 mm pins under number 211.710.002. The Verti-Drain 7110 is equipped standard with a pre-mounted main beam on which the turf hold-down fingers can be mounted.
16.1 OPTIONS, PINS Pins are essential for the correct operation of the machine. There are various pins available for this machine; see the parts page for a complete overview. In general, the pins can be divided into two categories: solid and hollow pins. We advise you to use only original pins because they are completely adapted to the machine.
Always use pins with the same diameter and length. Replace a bent pin immediately. If this is not done, the machine can become unstable. Do not use thicker and/or longer pins than we supply. Shorter (ground off) pins can be used when shallower pricking is desired. Be aware that the operating depth indicated on the decal is only accurate when the maximum length of the pin is used.
16.3 OPTIONS, REAR ROLLER Fig. 21 The Verti-Drain is not fitted with a rear roller as standard. If desired, a rear roller can be supplied under number 211.710.004. The kit consists of a rear roller with adjustable scraper, and the fixing legs with assembly material for attachment to the Verti-Drain.
