Adjust the Roller Scraper
Adjust the roller scraper so there is approximately a
1/8” (3mm) gap between the scraper and the roller.
1. Loosen the fasteners securing each end of the
scraper to the roller scraper tab (Fig. 14).
2. Slide the roller scraper up or down to the
required position and tighten the fasteners.
Adjust the Turf Guards
Before starting your new aerator, remove the rear
castor stand and lower the machine on the 3-point
linkage until the depth control roller is resting on the
ground. From the rear of the machine, check that the
tines line up exactly with the center of the gaps in the
turf guards. Install the correct turf guards (Fig. 15), if
necessary.
