BEFORE OPERATING TIMING THE AERATOR TO THE TRACTOR ‘Tractor Preparation To operate the fairway aerator, the tractor must meet the following: 1. PTO rpm must be 540 at normal engine operating speed. 2. With PTO operating at 540 rpm, a transmission gear must be selected that allows tractor to operate 100 feet {(30.5 m) within 30—38 seconds [1.8 ~ 2.2 mph (2.9 3.
BEFORE OPERATING IMPORTANT: Never operate the factor PTO in excess of 540 rpm or damage to the aerator could occur. 3. In direction of machine travel, measure the distance between tine holes (one tine penetration stroke to another). Depending on tine configuration, the distance should be: 7/8" tines — 6~1/4 to (158 to 165 mm) 3/4” tines — 3~1/8 to (78 10 82 mm)} Note: To achieve optimum performance when using finger tines, use longer hole spacing.
OPERATION TRAINING PERIOD Before using the Fairway Aerator, find a clear area and practice using the machine. Operate the tractor at recommended gear settings and PTO drive speeds and become thoroughly familiar with machine handling. Practice stopping and starting, raising and lowering the coring head, disengaging the PTO drive and aligning the machine with previous passes.
OPERATION INSPECTION AND CLEAN~UP AFTER USE After daily use, thoroughly wash the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so contamination and seal and bearing damage due to excessive water pressure will be avoided. A brush may be used to remove caked-on material. Use mild detergent to clean the covers, Applying a coat of auto wax periodically will retain the cover’s glossy finish. After cleaning, inspect for machine damage, gear oil leakage, component and tine wear.
GREASING FITTINGS Note: It is a good practice to lubricate the machine after washing machine. The Fairway Aerator has grease fittings that must be lubricated with No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base grease. Some require greasing daily, others every 25 hours operation, or seasonally, whichever comes first. Use a hand grease gun for all fittings. Disconnect one end of the drive shaft to access the center grease fittings. GREASE THE FOLLOWING FITTINGS DAILY: Component No. Ftg. Fig. No.
LUBRICATION Figure 31 1. Rear Wheels (2) GREASE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS Grease the front wheel bearings annually. 1. Block the rear wheels to prevent the machine from moving. 2. Support the front frame on blocks and remove the front whee! and hub assembly (Fig. 32). Figure 32 1, Lift Cylinder (2) 2. Steering Axle King Pin 3. Repack the bearings with wheel bearing grease and re—install, CHECK RESERVOIR LEVEL Every 25 hours operation, or seasonally, whichever comes first, check oil level in the reservoir. 1.
LUBRICATION Figure 35 1, Right Angle Gear Case 2. Genus Case Fill Plug CHECK PICK~OFF GEAR CASE OIL LEVEL Every 25 hours operation, or seasonally, whichever comes first, check oil level in the pick—off gear case. 1. With the machine on a level surface, remove the gear case cover (Fig. 36}, Note: Breather (Fig. 36) installed this side only. Figure 36 1. Pick—off Gear Case 2. Gear Case Cover 3. Breather 20 2. The oil level should be to the center of the gear shafts (Fig. 37).
MAINTENANCE CHECKING STAMPER ASSEMBLIES Within the first five hours of initial machine operation and after every 25 hours of operation thereafter, all stamper assemblies must be checked for excessive lateral play. This must be done or major making component failure may resit. 1. Grasp each storekeeper assembly at the bottom and try to move the assembly laterally in each direction (Fig. 38). Do not move fore and aft. There should be fettle or no movement of the assembly.
