- Never disconnect the hoses from tractor when machine is raised from the ground. Always ensure
that machine is tight on the ground with locked rear roller supports and relieved oil pressure,
before disconnecting the hoses. (see also par.11.0)
- When the working depth is adjusted, always reset the machine at 90 degrees with toplinks.
- Check bolts/nuts regularly.
- Watch your turns when machine is raised. Damage to the PTO may occur
- Do make straight passes during work, no turns allowed.
16.1 OPTIONS, TINES
Tines are essential for the correct working of the machine. Several tines are available for this
machine, see the spare part pages for a total overview. Generally speaking, tines can be divided into
two categories: Solids and Hollows. We advise using genuine tines, since they are fully adapted to
the machine.
In fig.11. several tine combination are given. The tineholders have 5 x 12 mm (1/2”) holes and 2 x 24
mm (1”) holes for adapting tines. The lock bolt A may be tightened till 40 Nm (30 lbs.ft.) and B till
70 Nm (50 lbs.ft). If the tines still slip out of the adapter, grind a flat area to the tine.
16.1.1 SOLID TINES
.
Solid tines will break the hard compaction in the ground. The tine angle setting (see par.6.0)
determines the amount of “kick” action in the ground. If the angle is adjusted from 90 degrees up to
75 degrees, the “kick” action increases. With a 90 degrees setting we hardly create any tine motion in
the ground, with 75 degrees we have the maximum tine action in the ground.
When tines are new, they may disrupt the turf, specially when the root system is weak. Clean the
tines first by hand or use the machine for 10 minutes at another rough area.
