link to keep from hammering the turf with the tine
heads. In some cases, you may not achieve the
best results from using the preset holes in the
camber brackets, especially where the grass roots
are short or weak. You may want to experiment
using another camber setting that will set the tines
on more of an incline to keep from pulling soil out
of the hole.
•
Do not aerate if the ground is too hard or dry. Best
results are obtained after a rain or when the turf
has been watered the previous day.
Note:
If the roller rides up off the ground while
aerating, the ground is too hard to achieve the
desired depth; reduce the aeration depth until the
roller contacts the ground during operation.
•
Raise the aerator penetration if the ground is hard
packed. Clean up the cores and aerate again at a
deeper penetration, preferably after watering.
CAUTION
Improperly using or maintaining this
machine can result in injury.
To avoid personal injury, never leave the
tractor seat without first disengaging the
PTO drive, engaging the parking brake, and
shutting off the engine. Do not perform
aerator adjustments or repairs without first
lowering the aerator onto the safety stand.
Ensure that all safety devices are secured
in their proper place before resuming
operation.
•
Look behind frequently to ensure the machine is
operating properly and alignment is maintained
with previous passes. A loss of one line of holes
indicates a bent or lost tine. Inspect after each
pass.
•
Always clear the area of all damaged machine
parts, such as broken tines, etc., to prevent them
from being picked up and thrown by mowers or
other turf maintenance equipment.
•
Replace broken tines, inspect and correct damage
to those still usable. Repair any other machine
damage before resuming operation.
