Installing The Depth Gauge; Connecting The Tractor Upper Link; Sr54-S And Sr70-S) - Toro ProCore SR54 Operator's Manual

Note:
If an extension block is installed and the
cylinder needs to be retracted to be installed, the
aerator tine heads will get closer to the ground.
Install the extension blocks as follows:
A. Remove the cotter pin and pin securing
the standard connecting link to the cylinder
(Figure 5). Remove the connecting link
from the cylinder.
B. Install the required length extension block
to the cylinder with the pins previously
removed (Figure

Installing the Depth Gauge

Models SR54, SR70, and SR72
Parts needed for this procedure:
1 Depth gauge
1 Slide block
2 Machine screw (#10 x 1/2 inch)
2 Screw (1/4 x 2-1/2 inch)
1 Tube clamp
1 Weld plate
1 Depth decal
Procedure
1. Mount the depth gauge to the flat side of the
slide block with 2 machine screws (#10 x 1/2
inch), positioning the components as shown in
Figure 8.

2. Using the tube clamp, weld plate and 2 screws
(1/4 x 2-1/2 inches), loosely mount the depth
gauge to the rod end of the top link cylinder
(Figure 8). Make sure that the clamps are
loose enough to allow them to be rotated to the
desired position.
3. Make sure that the top of the cylinder is clean
enough to except the installation of a decal.
4. Affix the depth decal to the top of the cylinder
at a location that is visible from the operating
position and does not interfere with hydraulic
hoses or other obstructions
of the decal with the letter "J" is to be positioned
toward the aerator.
5. Check to make sure the cylinder rod can extend
and retract fully without interfering with other
tractor or aerator components. Then, tighten the
depth gauge mounting screws when the desired
location is attained.
6. The letters on the decal do not correspond
to a particular depth. Run the aerator on a
test plot to determine the desired setting and
note the corresponding position on the depth
indicator. You then can adjust the cylinder while
in operation to a deeper setting "J" or shallower
setting "A" as desired.
