FOREWORD Congratulations on the purchase of your VERTI-DRAIN. To ensure the safe and lasting operations of this VERTI-DRAIN you (and anyone using the machine) should read and understand this user’s manual. A complete knowledge of the contents of the manual is necessary in order to ensure the safe use of this machine.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Always use the VERTI-DRAIN with the correct tractor as described in the technical information The user is responsible for a safe Tractor/VERTI-DRAIN combination. The combination must be tested for noise, safety, risk and easy usage. It is also necessary to draw up user instructions.

2.0 FIRST SETUP, LIFTING MACHINE FROM PALLET The machine stands vertically up on the pallet. To remove the pallet and get the machine horizontal on the ground, handle as follows (see fig.1 ): 1. Open the rear cover 2. Connect a cable to lift point * Ensure the cable/crane/lift truck can lift minimum 4000 Kg.(9000 lbs).
3.0 GENERAL CONTROLS In fig.2. some key details of the machine are shown, as follows: 1. Safety decall RA, before using machine read manual. Decall is located at the toolbox with manuals and combi-tool. 2. Safety decall RB, Keep 4 mtr (14' ) distance to the machine 3.
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 4.1 PTO LENGTH The length of the PTO is very important.
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.
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").
@ The angle of 90 degrees means that the tines penetrate perpendicular into the ground. This is only true if the machine is correctly set, see fig.1. If this isn' t correct a push force F, see fig 5. is applied, which can seriously damage the machine.
8.0 STARTING PROCEDURES The starting procedure is VERY important. If the start up is not done as described hereunder, serious damage to the machine may occur. Proceed as follows, see fig.7.: 1. Drive to the spot you want to start the operation. 2.
@ If nothing is done on the instability of the machine, serious troubles may arise afterwards. The machine is NOT protected against these circumstances on the long term. @ Never drive backwards with the tines in or close to the ground. @ NEVER drive backwards, when the lowest tines are less than 120 mm (5") above the ground.
12.0 PROBLEM ANALYSIS Machine vibrates Crankshaft rotates irregular Machine not at 90 degrees. PTO joint angles different. PTO joints not in line. Tough circumstances Adjust working depth. Use thinner/ shorter tines. If dry, irrigate first. Solid/ hollow tines Wrong tine Change tine, use shorter one.

15.0 TECHNICAL IFNORMATION Generally speaking, this Verti-Drain is not a complicated machine. A couple of technical items will be explained. If you still have questions, please contact your dealer, who is willing to assist you 15.1 TORQUE SETTINGS In fig.8., the torque settings of the most important bolts/nuts are given. For the ones the torque setting is not mentioned, please be sure that they are tightened as a similar size bolt/nut would be tightened.
15.2 THE CRANKSHAFT In fig.9. the assembly of the crankshaft is given. Also look at the spare part page for a more clear view and setup. On a 7526 the angle between the handles on the gearbox should be 36 degrees. 15.2.1 REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION OIL SEAL In fig.9.
@ After any repair on the crankshaft, the crankshaft nuts should be checked regularly, see 12.0 @ Don’t assemble the cranks at the wrong side of the machine. See the spare part pages for the right part numbers. 15.3 ALIGNMENT OF AN ELEMENT In the event that an element is no longer in line with the adjacent elements, the alignment can be corrected as follows (see fig.8.): Slacken the four bolts/nuts A, that connect the crankshaft to the element.
16.0.1 MOUNTING THE WHEELKIT TO THE MACHINE Work as follows, see fig.10.: 1. Unpack all parts and lay them down 2. Put machine horizontal on a hard floor with locked rear roller and in deepest working position. 3. Assemble pins Q in main frame each side and tighten nut inside. 4.
16.1 OPTIONS, TINES Tines are essential for the correct working of the machine. Several tines are available for this machine, see the spare part pages for a total overview. Generally speaking, tines can be divided into two categories: Solids and Hollows. We advise using genuine tines, since they are fully adapted to the machine.
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 us. Shorter (worn) tines can be used in case shallower penetration is required. Note that the depth reading on the decall 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.
Be very careful in fitting the springs on the eye nuts (5/6), because the spring has to be stretched, which can be dangerous. @ It is important to adjust all springs at the same pre tension at a machine. The tension can be reduced by reducing the length 280 mm.

Assemble the kit the way it is drawn above. Tighten all bolts and nuts. This kit can’t be used on 75 models with a wheel kit assembled ( the H models).
