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.

Checking the Gearbox Oil Remove the vent/fill plug to relieve air draw. Position a drain pan under the drain plug and Service Interval: Every 50 hours remove the plug. The gearbox is filled with 80W–90 gear oil or Note: The high viscosity of cool oil will extend equivalent.
Adjusting the PTO Clutch Service Interval: Yearly Before and after storage WARNING Friction clutches may become hot during use. Do not touch. To avoid the risk of fire, keep the area around the clutch free of flammable material and avoid prolonged slipping of the clutch.
Removing the Aerator from the Tractor Stop the aerator on a level surface, not on a slope. Disengage the PTO and engage the parking brake. Raise the aerator roller(s) 7.5 to 15 cm (3 to 6 inches) off the ground. Place support blocks under the roller(s).
Troubleshooting Problem Solution Springs are breaking or not pulling back the Slow the PTO speed of the tractor. The longer and heavier the tines, the greater the head to normal position. centrifugal force on the head. Check for crossed or broken spring wires. Holes are elongated or picking.
Storage Storage Safety • Store the machine on the storage stands positioned on a firm, level surface so that it does not sink or tip over. • Store the machine away from areas of human activity. • Do not allow children to play on or around the stored machine.
