SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS INSTALL REAR WHEELS 1. Secure wheels to spindle hubs with lug nuts {Fig. 8). Torque nuts to 65-90 ft-In. Figure 9 BEFORE OPERATING ACTIVATE AND CHARGE BATTERY 1. Since battery is not filled with electrolyte or activated, bulk electrolyte with 1.280 specific gravity must be purchased from a local battery supply outlet. A CAUTION Wear safety goggles and rubber gloves when working with electrolyte.
BEFORE OPERATING 4. Replace filler caps and connect amp battery charger to the battery posts. Charge the battery at a rate amperes for 4 10 8 hours. 5. When battery is charged, disconnect charger from electrical outlet and battery posts. 8. Remove filler caps. Slowly add electrolyte to each cell until level is up to fill ring. Install filler caps. IMPORTANT: Do not over fill battery.
BEFORE OPERATING FILL FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE THE TOR COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THE USE OF FRESH CLEAN, UNLEADED REGULAR GRADE GASOLINE IN TOR GASOLINE POWERED PRODUCTS. UNLEADED GASOLINE BURNS CLEANER, EXTENDS ENGINE LIFE, AND PROMOTES GOOD STARTING BY REDUCING THE BUILD-UP OF COMBUSTION CHAMBER DEPTHS iTs. Note: Do not mix ofl with gasoline, Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, gasohol, gasoline additives, premium gasoline, or white gas because engine/fuel system damage could result.
CONTROLS Ignition Switch (Fig. 14) — The ignition switch, which is used to start and stop the engine, has three positions: OFF, ON and START. Rotate key clockwise — START position — 10 engage starter motor. Release key when engine starts. The key will automatically return to the ON position, To shut engine off, rotate key counterclockwise to the OFF position. Choke (Fig. 14) — To start a cold engine, close carburetor choke by pulling choke control outward to the ON position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STARTING/STOPPING ENGINE 1. Make sure wire is installed on spark plug and fuel valve is open: 2. Make sure traction drive is disengaged and gear shift lever is in Neutral, 3, Pull choke lever out 1o ON position — when starting a cold engine — and throttle lever to naif throttle position. 4. Insert key into ignition switch and rotate it clockwise to start the engine. Release key when engine starts. Gradually.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 7 U7 Figure 19 1, Coring depth adjustment screw 2. Adjusting bracket 3. Jam nut 4. Maximum recommended coring depth is achieved when distance from end of screw head to bracket is 11/16” (Fig. 18). IMPORTANT: Do not adjust screw to a setting less than 11/16" or damage to turf guards may occur, 5. Make sure adjustments are the same on both sides of coring head and tighten jam nuts. CHECK FRAME HEIGHT 1. Position machine on a level surface. 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2. Check clutch switch (Fig. 22) with a continuity tester or ohm meter and replace if damaged. The switch must be closed when the gear shift ever is in & gear, The switch must open when shifting between Neutral, First, and Second gears. Figure 22 1, Clutch Switch 2, Mounting screws 3. To adjust switch, loosen mounting screws and reposition switch as required. 4.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 25 1. Override fever 2. Lever bracket 3, Override pin 3. P Restart the engine and raise the coring head. 4. Stop the engine, remove the pin and reinstall in storage bracket. TRAINING PERIOD Before aerating greens with the Greens Aerator, it is suggested that you find & clear area and practice starting and stopping, raising and lowering coring head, turning, etc.
LUBRICATION LUBRICATION The Aerator has 11 grease fittings that must be lubricated daily with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease. Damper pivots must be lubricated every 4 hours of operation. The bearings and bushings that must be lubricated are: front wheels (Fig. 28}, rear wheel spindles {Fig. 27}, front handle shaft (Fig. 28), damper pivots (4) (Fig. 29}, traction roller latch pin (Fig. 30} and coring head switch (Fig. 31}).
MAINTENANCE CHANGING CRANKCASE OIL For new engines, change oil after first 5 operating hours. Thereafter, under normal conditions, change ol after every 25 hours of engine operation. However, an engine operated in dusty or dirty conditions requires more frequent oil changes. If possible, run engine just before changing oil. Warm oil flows more freshly and carries more contaminants than cold oil. 1. Place an oil drain pan below the drain defector on bottom of crankcase. Clean area around drain plug {Fig.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING CYLINDER HEAD FINS To vapid overheating and possible engine damage, clean cooling fins on cylinder head every day if necessary, 1. Ult high tension wire off spark plug. 2. Clean dirt, grass and chaff from outside of cylinder, cylinder head fins and air intake strewn, 3. Push high tension wire onto spark plug. ADJUSTING CARBURETOR Lack of power accompanied by black sooty exhaust smoke is usually caused by a rich carburetor setting.
MAINTENANCE Spark plug Figure 35 1. Spark pig wire A. Light brown insulator tip indicates correct spark plug and heat range. B, Black or oily insulator tip indicates an excessively rich fuel mixture, possibly caused by a dirty air cleaner element or a carburetor that is set too rich, C. Light gray or blistered-white insulator indicates overheating caused by a lean carburetor setting or incorrect spark plug (heat range too high}. IMPORTANT: A cracked, fouled or dirty spark plug must be replaced.
MAINTENANCE BELT ADJUSTMENTS Make sure bats are properly pensioned to assure correct operation of unit and unnecessary wear. Check all belts midway in the span of the belt. 1. The belt tension on the hydraulic pump (Fig. 38) must have a maximum deflection of 5/32 of an inch with pound load applied. Figure 38 1. Hydraulic pump belt 2. Pump support bracket 3, Adjusting screw E. Tighten jam nuts and pump support screws. F. Recheck belt deflection. G. Reinstall control cover. 2. The transient bel (Fig.

Coring head mechanism should begin rotating 1" before tines contact turf. G. Reinstall coring head cover and hook latches, ADJUSTING SERVICE BRAKE if brake lever (Fig. 44) contacts control handle when brake is applied, an adjustment to the brake cable is required.
CHECK CORING HEAD CHAINS After the first 8-10 hours of operation, tension on both coring head chains must be checked and adjusted if required, 1. Depress chain in span between the idler sprocket and upper crank arm sprocket. Applying 8-12 ibs. of force on designated area, chain should deflect .25 inch + .03 {Fig. 48) Figure 46 1. Coring head chain 2. Eye bolt nuts 2. Tighten or loosen each eye bolt nut to increase or decrease chain tension. Make sure each aye bolt is adjusted equally (Fig, 46}, 3.
