Note: Refer to tractor operator's manual for additional
adjustment procedures.

Adjust 3-Point Lift Stop

Adjust and set 3 point lift stop (Fig. 13) to provide
approximately 4" ground clearance, when in the raised
position, to minimize PTO angle when raising aerator. For
transporting or trailer loading/unloading, the full lift range
can be used as long as the PTO tubes do not slide apart.
Operating the PTO in the fully raised position may
damage the PTO or other components.

Installation Instructions supplied with each tine kit. Refer
to accessory chart on page 13, for required tines.
Important Never operate the aerator without the
tine heads installed. The arms will move excessively
and may damage the aerator frame.
