check, major component failure may result. Do not operate

the aerator until a mechanic has completed this process.

Operating Tips

1. Gradually engage the PTO at low engine speed and throttle

up to 540 RPM before lowering the coring head.

2. Make very gradual turns when aerating. Never make sharp

turns with the PTO engaged.

3. If the tractor stalls or slows too much when operating on

hard ground or when going uphill, raise the coring head

slightly until you regain speed, then lower the head again.

4. Do not aerate if the ground is too hard or dry. Best results

are obtained after a rain or when the turf has been watered

the previous day.

5. Raise the coring head penetration if the ground is hard

packed. Clean cores and aerate again at deeper penetration,

preferably after watering.

Machine Lubrication

Use No. 2 Lithium base grease on all fittings. Lubricate at times

listed or more frequently, if needed. For best results, use a hand

grease gun. Do not apply excess pressure or seals may be per-

manently damaged. To access the center drive line grease fit-

tings, disconnect one end.

NOTE: Lubricate the machine after washing it.
