Important:
When connecting the PTO,
be sure that the aerator is not being lifted
higher than is necessary. Lifting the machine
too high will cause the PTO shaft knuckles
to break (Figure
turning when the aerator is lifted. The PTO
can be operated up to an angle of 25°, but
can never exceed a 35° angle when the
aerator is at its highest position.
7. Verify that the PTO shield does not interfere with
the clutch.

Adjusting the Sway Links

No Parts Required
Procedure
The aerator is designed to be centered with the
tractor PTO shaft center line. Adjust the sway links
as required.
Figure 26

Figure 27
The PTO shaft should be as straight as possible to
the tractor PTO shaft.
Adjust the sway links on the lower lift arms to minimize
side-to-side sway to a maximum of 25 mm (1 inch)
on each side (Figure

1. Sway link
Adjust the lower links inboard until they contact the
aerator mounting plates. This reduces the stress on
the pins. If the tractor has sway chains instead of sway
links, install washers between the lower link arm and
lynch pin to reduce the over hung load on the lift pins.
Note:
Refer to the tractor operator's manual for
additional installation and adjustment procedures.
