SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECT UPPER LINK

NOTE: Front of aerator MUST be vertical or angled

forward slightly while operating for best aeration hole

quality (Fig. 2). This angle will change when depth

adjustments are made. Adjust upper link to control this

angle. Refer to Operation, page 16 for additional

information.

INSTALL SIDE GUARDS

1. Remove (4) nuts, lockwashers and washers

ADJUST PTO SHAFT LENGTH

IMPORTANT: A long PTO shaft is supplied with

machine to accommodate large variations in the

tractor's PTO and 3 point locations. For some tractors

this shaft is too long and must be cut to correct length

or gearbox damage may result.

1. With the aerator vertical or angled slightly forward,

lower the aerator until the gear box shaft is

approximately the same height as the tractor PTO

shaft. This is the shortest distance between the two

shafts.

2. Measure the distance from the lock groove of the

tractor PTO shaft to the lock groove of the aerator

gearbox PTO shaft. Record this dimension.

3. Fully collapse PTO shaft and measure the distance

between the lock pin collars. Record this dimension.

4. At it's shortest length, the two halves of the PTO

shaft must have at least 1.5 inches (37 mm) of

additional clearance to collapse. If the dimension in

step 2 is not at least 1.5 inches (37 mm) greater than

the dimension in step 3, the PTO shaft is too long,

proceed to step 5. If there is enough clearance to allow

PTO shaft to collapse, proceed to step 9.
