TRACTOR REQUIREMENT

Your aerator is designed for tractors with category one 3-

point hitch. Horsepower requirements are as shown in

the table below.

MODEL TRACTOR H.P.(KW)

MC 10 16 H.P. (11. 5)

MC 15 24 H.P. (17.5)

MC 20 32 H.P. (23)

Adequate front-end weight is required to maintain good

front-wheel-to-ground contact for steering control and

tractor stability. Refer to your tractor manual and the

Specifications section 6.0 at the back of this manual for

the weight of the aerator.

TRACTOR ATTACHMENT

1. Be sure the area around the implement is clear of

people and children and that you have enough room

to manoeuvre.

2. Reverse slowly and squarely to the aerator with

lower link arms lowered to the height of the lower

link hitch pins of the aerator.

3. When the left-hand link arm is aligned with the

hitch pin on the aerator, STOP THE ENGINE,

ENGAGE THE HANDBRAKE, DISENGAGE

THE GEAR—Push the link arm over the linkage

pin, put the retaining lynch pin in position and

secure.

4. Adjust the height of the right-hand link arm as

necessary to align it with the linkage pin. Attach

and secure it with the retaining lynch pin.

5. Adjust the top link length with the turnbuckle to

align link holes, place in pin and retaining lynch

pin.

Reduce or increase the length of the top link to

adjust the machine to stand vertical (fig 8). Use the

tractor levelling box so that the machine is lifted

evenly when viewed from front or rear.

7. Connection of PTO:

(a) Ensure that the securing pin is fully released

and locked onto the PTO stub shaft securing

the connection (fig 9).

(b) Ensure that there is approximately 75mm (3

inches) of clearance of the tubes and guards

(fig. l0). If not, cut both sections to length with

a hacksaw and use a round file to debur.

8. Adjust the length of the lower linkarm stabilizer

chains so that the aerator is secured at the centre

point of the tractor and cannot swing from side to

side.

9. Ensure that when the machine is lifted on the

linkage that no part comes in contact with the

tractor.
