TRAINING PERIOD
Before aerating greens with the Greens Aerator, it is
suggested that you find a clear area and practice
starting and stopping, raising and lowering coring
head, turning, etc. This training period will be beneficial
to the operator in gaining confidence in the
performance of the Greens Aerator.
BEFORE AERATING
Inspect the work area for debris and determine the
best direction and pattern to operate machine. Mark all
sprinkler head and obstructions
AERATING PROCEDURES
1. Approach the work area with the gear shift lever in
the L" (low) position.
2. Lower coring head when desired starting position
is attained. Make sure coring head is engaged before
the tines are within one inch of the turf.
3. Use rubber guides hanging from front of chassis to
align rows.
Always have coring head fully raised
when transporting and fully lowered when
coring so safety interlock system func
tions correctly. If coring head lowers by it
self, correct malfunction before continu
ing operation.
CAUTION
TRANSPORT OPERATION
Make sure coring head is in the up position and coring
head lock-up brackets are up. Set the gear shift lever
in the H" (high) position if faster ground speed is
required. Use the service brake to slow the machine
while going down steep hills to avoid loss of control.
Always approach rough areas at a reduced speed and
cross severe undulations carefully.
INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP AFTER
USE
At the completion of operation, thoroughly wash the
machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so
excessive water pressure will not cause contamination
and damage to seals and bearings. After cleaning, it is
recommended the machine be inspected for possible
hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components and the tines checked for
sharpness. Lubricate grease fittings immediately after
every washing.
