Adjusting the Aeration Depth Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important: Adjust the aeration depth only when the traction unit is parked, the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the engine is shut off. Before Operation 1. Before Operation Safety Lay the desired tine onto the depth decal while aligning the tine tip with the desired aeration depth as shown in Figure 22.
Understanding the Principles of Operation The 3-point hitch linkage of the traction unit lifts the machine for transport and lowers it for operation. Power from the traction unit power take-off (PTO) is transmitted through driveshafts, a gearbox, and drive belts to a number of crankshafts, which drive the tine holding arms into the turf surface. As the traction unit travels forward with the PTO engaged and the machine lowered, a series of holes are created in the turf.
• Wear appropriate clothing, including eye the area being aerated, mark these locations to ensure that these items are not damaged during operation. • Operate the traction unit using the recommended gear settings and PTO drive speeds and become thoroughly familiar with the traction unit handling with the attached machine. • Practice stopping and starting, raising the machine, and lowering the machine, disengaging the PTO drive, and aligning the machine with previous passes.
Important: Never operate the traction unit operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution. PTO faster than 540 rpm or you may damage to the machine. • Evaluate the site conditions to determine if the slope is safe for machine operation, including surveying the site. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey. Note: Make sure that the roller is on the ground. 5.
Adjusting the Hole Spacing The forward hole spacing is determined by the traction unit gear ratio (or the hydrostatic traction pedal). Changing the engine speed does not change the forward hole spacing. The lateral hole spacing is determined by the number of tines in the tine heads. Hole spacing Ground speed mm (inch) km/h (mph) 25 (1) 0.6 (0.4) 0.6 (0.4) 0.6 (0.4) 0.6 (0.4) 0.6 (0.4) 0.6 (0.4) 0.6 (0.4) 0.6 (0.4) 0.8 (0.5) 0.8 (0.5) 0.8 (0.5) 0.8 (0.5) 0.8 (0.5) 32 (1.25) 0.8 (0.5) 0.
Adjusting the Rotalink Assembly Aerating Hard Ground If the ground is too firm to obtain the desired coring depth, the coring head can get into a “bouncing” rhythm. This is due to the tines attempting to penetrate the hard pan. This condition can be corrected by attempting one or more of the following: • Best results are obtained after a rain or when turf has been watered the previous day. • Reduce the number of tines per stomper arm.
Operating Tips • Always clear the area of all damaged machine parts, such as broken tines, etc., to prevent them from being picked up and thrown by mowers or other turf maintenance equipment. WARNING Adjusting or repairing the machine while the traction unit is running may result in an accident and severe injury or death • Before leaving the operator’s seat, disengaging the PTO drive, engaging the parking brake, shutting off the engine, and remove the key.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Change the gearbox lubrication. • Check the torque of the coring head fasteners. Before each use or daily • Check the belt tension. • Check the belt tension. Every 50 hours • Grease the bearings and bushings. • Inspect the bearings. Every 100 hours • Check the gearbox lubrication. Every 250 hours • Change the gearbox lubrication.
Jacking the Machine The lubrication points are: PTO driveshaft (3) (Figure 27) CAUTION If the machine is not properly supported by blocks or jack stands, the machine may move or fall, which may result in personal injury. • Ensure that the machine is parked on a solid, level surface such as a concrete floor. Always chock the traction unit tires. • Prior to raising the machine, remove any attachments that may interfere with the safe and proper raising of the machine.
Important: Bearings rarely fail from defects in materials or workmanship. The most common reason for failure is moisture and contamination working its way past the protective seals. Bearings that are greased rely upon regular maintenance to purge harmful debris from the bearing area. Sealed bearings rely on an initial fill of special grease and a robust integral seal to keep contaminants and moisture out of the rolling elements. The sealed bearings require no lubrication or short term maintenance.
Changing the Gearbox Lubrication Inspecting the Belts Service Interval: After the first 8 hours The drive belt(s) on the machine are durable. However, the normal exposure to UV radiation, ozone or incidental exposure to chemicals can deteriorate the rubber compounding over time and lead to premature wear or material loss (i.e. chunking). Service Interval: Yearly Every 250 hours The gearbox is filled with 80W-90 gear oil or equivalent.
Replacing the Drive Belt Note: You do not need to remove the outside stomper arm to replace the drive belt. Removing the Belt 1. Remove the rear coring head cover (Figure 35). g007316 Figure 33 1. Rear coring head cover 2. Pulley shield B. Remove the pulley shield mounting bolts and remove the shield (Figure 33). C. Loosen the locknut securing the spring retainer (Figure 34). g007316 Figure 35 1. Rear coring head cover 2. Pulley shield 2.
Installing the Belt 1. Route the new drive belt around the lower end of the #1 stomper arm and up through the coring head frame. 2. Position the drive belt onto the crank pulley, under the idler assembly and over the drive pulley. 3. Raise the rotalink damper for the #1 stomper arm to coring head frame. Ensure that the damper spacers are installed in the same position as in removal. 4. Secure the rotalink damper to the coring head with the 2 washers and locknuts previously removed. 5.
Adjusting the Side Shield Coring Head Timing The coring head side shields should be adjusted so that the bottom rides between 25 to 38 mm (1 to 1-1/2 inches) from the turf while aerating. The unitized coring head design of the machine provides industry-leading smooth operation while taking out the guesswork of timing. 1. Loosen the bolts and nuts securing the side shield to frame (Figure 39).
g007323 Figure 42 g007302 Figure 43 1. Lynch pins Removing the Machine from the Traction Unit Note: You can store the machine on the original shipping pallet. Important: Refer to the PTO driveshaft owner’s manual for additional operating and safety information. 1. 2. 2. Storage stand Park the traction unit and machine on a level surface, disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operator's seat. 3.
Storage Storage Safety • Before adjusting, cleaning, storing, or repairing the machine, park the it on a level surface; engage the parking brake of the traction unit; shut off the engine; remove the key; and wait for all movement to stop before leaving the traction unit. • Store the machine on the storage stands g007307 positioned on a firm, level surface so that it does not sink or tip over. Figure 44 1. PTO tether • Store the machine away from areas of human 10. activity.
