1/4″ 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 2.50" with the 1/4" 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.

4. Install a narrow outboard tine block first, then the

wider inboard block, then another outboard tine block.

Check tine block orientation to assure that the tine

holes are aligned and the small holes face upward.

5. Loosely install washers and locknuts on studs.

6. The 1/4 tines may be used with either 3 or 6 tines

installed for each plunger. If 3 tines are selected,

position these inward for best performance.

Note: Position a 5-1/2" x 2-1/2' wooden block under

tines to retain them when tightening locknuts.

7. For best performance, position tines so slots face drive wheels (Fig. 5). The cores are ejected through the tine slots and do not contact the deflector shields. 4 8. Check clearance between tines and slots in turf guards. If side play is evident in tine arm, loosen deflector mounting capscrews and move wear plates (located behind deflector) out board to eliminate tine contact with turf guard. Tighten capscrews to secure adjustment. 9.
