3/8″ TINE KIT
For Greens Aerator
1. Adjust coring head depth control capscrews to
.68" on each side (Fig. 1). This will provide a maximum
coring depth of about 3.00" with the 3/8" tines.

.68"
Note: Extending capscrews to provide shallower
cultivation may be desirable under some turf
conditions, however some elongation of the cored hole
may be present.
2. Check Greens Aerator frame to insure machine is
parallel with the ground surface (Fig. 2 & 3). Use height
gauge, Toro part no. 60-9930, supplied with machine.
Adjust tire pressure to obtain desired settings. The
minimum tire pressure for the traction tires is 8 p.s.i.
and 10 p.s.i. for the steering tires.
Note: To minimize soil compaction, it is desirable to
operate at the lowest tire pressure. See Operator's
Manual for additional information.

3. Remove all tines and tine blocks installed on
machine. Replace with new tine blocks and 3/8" tines.
4. For best performance, position tines so slots face
drive wheels (Fig. 4). The cores are ejected through the
tine slots and do not contact the deflector shields.

5. If soil conditions are dry, it is desirable to irrigate the
turf grass the night before aeration.
6. Upon completion of aeration, remove soil form
interior of tines and coat tines with oil to reduce
corrosion.
