Operation Training Period tractor and aerator components and the drive line is not compressed below 92 cm (36 1/4 in.), nor extended over 127 cm (50 in.). Otherwise, the hitch hose or drive line Before first using the aerator, use a clear area to practice could be damaged.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed transport speeds of 24 km/hr (15 mph) or the tires may fail. Inspection and Clean-up After Use After use, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle to avoid seal contamination and bearing dam- age from excessive pressure.
check, major component failure may result. Do not operate the aerator until a mechanic has completed this process. Operating Tips Gradually engage the PTO at low engine speed and throttle up to 540 RPM before lowering the coring head. Make very gradual turns when aerating. Never make sharp turns with the PTO engaged.

With the machine on a level surface, remove the oil fill plug and dipstick assembly from the reservoir (Fig 17). The oil level should be between the two marks on the dip- stick.

operating level, add approximately 9 liters. NOTE: Drain plugs are also at the bottom of each (3) gear case. Check the Right-Angle Gear Case Oil Level After every 25 hours of operation, or seasonally, whichever comes first, check the level in the right-angle gear case (Fig. 19) With the machine on a levels surface, remove the oil fill plug.
Maintenance Checking Stomper Assemblies Within the first five hours of initial machine operation, and after every 25 hours of operation thereafter, all stomper assemblies must be checked for excessive lateral play. This must be done or major machine component failure may result. Grasp each stomper assembly at the bottom and try to move the assembly laterally in each direction (Fig 23).

Aerator Gear Case Timing Tips If disassembly of the aerator drive system is required for mainte- nance, the unit will need to be retimed to ensure n balance, equal loading of the tine arms and optimum hole quality. There are two separate procedures to properly tine the aerator gear cases.
