Operating Instructions
PLEASE READ THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
COMMENCING WORK.
CAUTION
We want you to obtain the best performance from this machine. If you have any difculty in carrying out the following

OPERATING PRINCIPAL
The SISIS DART is an engine driven vertical aerator for use on ne turf areas such as bowling greens, tennis courts and
all areas of ne turf.
Offering clean vertical action of larger tractor mounted machines, the DART is easy to use and highly manoeuvrable. It
has an effective working width of 42cm and is powered by a Honda GX160 5.5hp engine. A wide range of tines are
available (see listsings). Maximum working depth is 10cm (4ins).
All controls, including the balanced depth control, are on the handles. The SISIS DART has been designed to require
minimal maintenance with sealed bearings throughout the machanism and an easily removable cover.
OPERATING
THE DEADMANS LEVER MUST BE KEPT DEPRESSED WHILST THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING OR WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE. IF THE LEVER IS RELEASED THE
ENGINE WILL STOP AND WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL THE LEVER IS DEPRESSED
AGAIN.
WARNING
1. Firstly ensure that the over centre lever to the tine drive is
disengaged and that the tines are clear of the ground
(see Image 1).
2. Move the choke lever on the engine to start (see Image 2).
3. Ensure that the isolator switch on the engine is on.
4. Depress the deadmans handle lever. (See Image 3)
5. Set the revs to the engine to approximately half way and pull
the recoil starter.
6. When the engine is running smoothly, keeping the deadmans
lever depressed, line up the machine for the rst run.
7. Engage the over centre lever so that the tines are in drive.
8. Pull the drive clutch lever into operation and with the machine
moving forwards pull the depth selection lever until the
desired depth is achieved. This is visible on the depth setting
indicator.
9. When nearing the end of a run, lift the tines clear of the ground
and take the tines out of drive with the tine drive over centre lever.
10. Manoeuvre the machine into position for the next run and continue to proceed as
previously described.
IF THE MACHINE BEGINS TO BOUNCE OR THE ENGINE TRIES
TO STALL, THE GROUND IS TOO HARD FOR THE CHOSEN
DEPTH. SELECT A SHALLOWER DEPTH AND TREAT THE
GROUND AT THIS DEPTH UNTIL CONDITIONS ALLOW DEEP-
ER PENETRATION.
