Fig. 14 5.0 Tine angle adjustment The tine angle of all tines can be adjusted by changing the angle of the central adjustment shaft. This should be done as follows: (See fig.14) ® 1. Lift the Verti-Drain unit to the highest position. 2.
Fig. 16 6.0 Start/Stop procedure ® To ensure the Verti-Drain is not been damaged by wrong usage, the start and stop procedure must take place as follows: (See fig.16) Starting: 1. Drive to the place where you want to start. 2.
® 7.0 Operation of the Verti-Drain Before the Verti-Drain® is used in the field, the following should be checked: 1. Are there any loose objects in the field? Remove these first. Are there any slopes? The maximum slope this machine can work on is 20 degrees. Always work downhill.
Fig. 17 9.0 Operation of the pedal/driving speed ® The Verti-Drain has two pedals that can be found on the right side of the machine (see fig. 17). This design consists of a main speed pedal (1) and a Tine distance speed pedal (2). ®...
Fig. 18 10.0 Operation of the brake pedal/parking brake ® The Verti-Drain has two brake pedals that can be found on the left side of the machine (see fig. 18). The shorter of the two is the brake pedal (1). The long one that is also nearest to the pedal that sits on the frame is the parking brake (2) and is only used to lock the machine when it is standing still.
Fig. 19 ® 11.0 Blocking the Verti-Drain unit ® ® When the Verti-Drain is not being used for a longer period, the Verti-Drain unit may drop. There is a blocking mechanism on the machine to avoid this situation. ® When the Verti-Drain is no longer operational, the blocking strip (1) can be turned ®...

12.0 DISCONNECTING THE V-BELT Fig. 20 ® The V-belt of the pump to the Verti-Drain unit can be disconnected so that the ® elements are no longer running and the Verti-Drain unit will, therefore, be at a standstill. A practical situation when this occurs is when the engine cuts out with the ®...
13.1 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible cause Solution The engine is not starting/is not The battery is dead. Check the condition of the battery. running. Charge or replace the battery. Wiring damaged. Check the wiring for short circuits. Check the battery connections. No fuel.
® 13.2 VERTI-DRAIN UNIT TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible cause Solution Machine vibrating. Crankshaft turns irregularly. Machine not at 90 degrees. Check the timing of the crankshaft. Heavy conditions. Adjust the operating depth. Use thinner/shorter tines. If conditions are dry, water soil. Solid/hollow tines bend/break.

16.0 TECHNICAL INFORMATION ® Generally speaking, the Verti-Drain is not a complicated machine. A number of technical items will be explained. If you have additional questions, contact your dealer who will be happy to provide assistance. Fig. 21 16.1 THE CRANKSHAFT The crankshaft assembly is shown in figures 21 and 22.
16.1.2 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. 21: Use a hammer to tap against the centre of the crank, starting with crank 1 located next to the V-belt drive.
16.3 ALIGNING AN ELEMENT If an element is no longer in line with the adjacent elements, the alignment can be corrected as follows: (see fig. 22) 1. Loosen the four bolts/nuts A, that connect the crankshaft to the element. 2. Loosen the two bolts B, with which the element is connected to the frame. 3.
16.5 REPLACING THE V-BELT DRIVE Fig. 23 ® The Verti-Drain is driven by a “power belt” V-belt. When it is worn and must, therefore, be replaced, follow the following method: (See fig. 23) ® 1. Ensure that the Verti-Drain unit is in the top position and block it so that it cannot drop (see section 11.0).
® 16.6 TENSIONING THE VERTI-DRAIN UNIT V-BELT DRIVE Fig. 24 ® To ensure the Verti-Drain unit operates at its best capacity, the 3 V-belts used in connection with the driven shaft and crankshaft must have the correct tension. Follow the following steps to achieve this: (See fig. 24) 1.
16.7 CORRECTLY ADJUSTING THE PEDAL 90 mm BOTTOM VIEW Fig. 25 To ensure that the pedal is optimally used, it must be adjusted correctly. Adjust the pedal by using the two threaded rods that can be found under the foot plate. The following two conditions must be met to correctly adjust the pedal: (see fig.
16.8 CHAIN DRIVE OF THE BACK WHEEL Fig. 26 Fig. 26 shows a drawing of the chain drive of the back wheel. The tensioning wheel (1) can be found behind the back wheel. Remove the side cover to access the tensioning wheel (1) and adjust it.
17.0 OPTIONS, TURF HOLD-DOWN KIT Fig. 28 You can use a turf hold-down kit when the turf layer comes loose. Two turf hold-down kits can be supplied for the 12 mm tines under number 211.700.002. ® The Verti-Drain 7007 Hydro is equipped as standard with a pre-mounted main beam on which the turf hold-down fingers can be mounted.
17.1 OPTIONS, TINES Tines are essential for the correct operation of the machine. There are various tines available for this machine; see the parts page for a complete overview. In general, the tines can be divided into two categories: solid and hollow tines. We recommend only using original tines because they are completely adapted to the machine.
17.1.2 HOLLOW TINES The ground can be mixed with hollow tines. Various sizes are available; see the parts page for more information. The opening of the tine must be directed toward the rear of the machine. For hollow tines it is important that the tine angle is set to 90 degrees. The movement of the tine in the ground is minimal and in this manner a nice “clean”...
17.4 OPTIONS, 3-WHEEL DRIVE (3WD). Item 211.700.026 ® The standard drive of the Verti-Drain is only on the two back wheels. Should it start to slip due to a lack of grip or should you have to aerate with greater accuracy, you can use the 3WD option.
