– Use only in daylight or when there is good artificial light. chains correctly hooked, so as to permit the maximum angle of the PTO shaft without breaking the chains. – Watch for holes or other hidden hazards. Maintenance – Do not transport machine close to a sand trap, ditch, creek or other hazard. • Before making adjustments or performing maintenance on the aerator, switch off the engine, stop the PTO and apply the parking brake before dismounting from the tractor.
Storage Safety • Make sure the aerator is positioned on firm and solid ground so it does not sink or tip over. • Store the aerator on a firm, level surface. • Ensure that the storage stand lynch pins are secured in • Store the aerator away from areas of human activity. place. • Do not allow children to play on or around the stored machine. Safety and Instructional Decals Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger.

Tractor Components (Figure 4) 1 Inspecting the Machine No Parts Required Procedure ProCore 864 Use the following list as a reference: • 30 PTO horsepower minimum when used in light to normal conditions (sandy to sandy/loam soils with average compaction) • 35 PTO horsepower minimum when used in normal to Figure 4 heavy conditions (heavy loam, clay, and rocky soils with above average compaction) 1. Lower link arm 2. Upper link arm 3. PTO shaft 4.
4. Engage the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key from the ignition. Wait for the engine and all moving parts to stop before leaving the operator's seat on the tractor. 3 Connecting the Upper Link Note: For maximum ground clearance, the hitch pins should be secured in the lower mounting holes (Figure 5). To determine when to use the upper mounting holes, refer to Connecting the PTO Shaft.
3. Rotate the upper link to tighten the link. Adjust it until the front of the aerator frame is 90 degrees from horizontal (Figure 8). 4. Tighten the locknut to secure the upper link into position. 4 Connecting the PTO Shaft Parts needed for this procedure: Figure 9 1 Bolt (1/2 x 3 inches) 1. “M” dimension 1 Nut (1/2 inch) 2. Lower trailing arms – Short driveshaft, Part 115-2839 (may be needed; sold separately) 3. Tractor PTO output shaft 1.
8. Verify that the telescoping tube has a minimum of 76 mm (3 inches) overlap when the aerator is raised to the maximum height. To check the overlap, measure the distance between the end shields, as shown in figure Figure 13. This dimension must not exceed 406 mm (16 inches). If so, move the lower lift pins to the upper set of holes prior to operation. Figure 11 1. Gearbox input shaft 4. Bolt 2. Nut 3. PTO shaft coupler 5. PTO shaft Figure 13 1. 406 mm (16 inches) 3.
Figure 15 1. Level 3. Turn the adjustable link body (if provided) to raise or lower the link arm until the aerator is leveled side-to-side. Figure 14 Note: Refer to the tractor Operator's Manual for additional adjustment procedures. 1. Sway link Adjust the lower links inboard until they contact the aerator mounting plates. This will reduce the stress on the pins.
3. Adjust the turf guards, left to right, to maintain equal distance to the tines within each slot. 8 4. Tighten the nuts securing the turf guard. 5. Mount the remaining turf guards and secure the turf guard clamps. Installing the Tine Heads and the Tines Important: From the rear of the machine, check that the tines line up with the center of the gaps in the turf guards. No Parts Required Procedure 10 A wide selection of tines and tine heads are available for the aerator.
3. Using a pliers or adjustable wrench, thread an internal lock washer onto each bolt (1 to 2 threads) to secure the latch (Figure 18). 11 Removing the Storage Stands Parts needed for this procedure: 4 Lynch pin (ProCore 864) 8 Lynch pin (ProCore 1298) Procedure 1. Raise the aerator 7.6 to 15.2 cm (3 to 6 inches) off the ground. 2. Remove the nuts and the lock washers securing the storage stands to the aerator (Figure 19). Figure 19 1. Storage stand 3. Nut 2.

Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Adjusting the Aeration Depth CAUTION Adjust the aeration depth only when the tractor is parked, the parking brake is engaged, the engine is off and the PTO is disengaged. 1. Lay the desired tine onto the depth decal while aligning the tine tip with the desired aeration depth as shown in Figure 23. Figure 24 1. Depth adjuster input shaft 3. Depth indicator decal 2. Locking plate 4.
Understanding the Principles of Operation Operating the Machine Note: When using needle tine heads, make sure to read the instructions included with the kit for unique operating procedures. The 3-point hitch linkage of the tractor lifts the aerator for transport and lowers it for operation. 1. Lower the aerator on the 3 point linkage so that the tines are nearly to the ground at the lowest part of their stroke.
Adjusting the Rotalink Assembly Aerating Hard Ground If the ground is too firm to obtain the desired coring depth, the coring head can get into a “bouncing” rhythm. This is due to the tines attempting to penetrate the hard pan. This condition can be corrected by attempting one or more of the following: The mounting height of the rotalink damper assembly affects the reactive force applied to the stomper arm and ground engagement during aeration.
Transporting the Machine reduce the aeration depth until the roller contacts the ground during operation. To begin transport operation, raise the aerator and disengage the PTO. To avoid loss of control, traverse steep inclines slowly, approach rough areas at reduced speed and cross severe undulations carefully. • Raise the aerator penetration if the ground is hard packed. Clean up cores and aerate at deeper penetration, preferably after watering.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Change the gearbox lubrication. • Check the torque of the coring head fasteners. Before each use or daily • Check the belt tension. • Check the belt tension. Every 50 hours • Grease the bearings and bushings. • Inspect the bearings. Every 100 hours • Check the gearbox lubrication. Every 250 hours • Change the gearbox lubrication.
is moisture and contamination working its way past the protective seals. Bearings that are greased will rely upon regular maintenance to purge harmful debris from the bearing area. Sealed bearings rely on an initial fill of special grease and a robust integral seal to keep contaminants and moisture out of the rolling elements. The lubrication points are: PTO Shaft (3) (Figure 27) The sealed bearings require no lubrication or short term maintenance.
Checking the Coring Head Fastener Torque Service Interval: After the first 8 hours Every 250 hours After the initial 8 hours of use, check the coring head fasteners to ensure that proper torque is maintained. Fastener torque requirements are listed on the reference service decal below and located on the coring head. Figure 31 Figure 30 1. Fill plug 1. Read the Operator's Manual. 2. Wrench size 3.

Adjusting the Side Shield Adjusting Hole Spacing The coring head side shields should be adjusted so that the bottom rides between 25 to 38 mm (1 to 1-1/2 inches) from the turf while aerating. The forward hole spacing is determined by the tractor's gear ratio (or the hydrostatic traction pedal). Changing the engine speed does not change the forward hole spacing. 1. Loosen the bolts and nuts securing the side shield to frame (Figure 39).
Figure 42 Figure 43 1. Lynch pins Removing the Aerator from the Tractor 2. Storage stand Note: The aerator can be stored on the original shipping pallet. 1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface, not on a slope. 6. Slowly lower the aerator until the storage stands contact the ground. 2. Disengage the PTO and engage the parking brake. 3. Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch. 7.
Storage At the end of an aerating season or when the aerator will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to carry out the following preventive maintenance. 1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the aerator or any of the moving parts. 2. Remove and clean out the tines. Coat the tines with oil to prevent rusting during storage. 3. Open the hood and clean out the inside of the machine. Figure 44 4. Lubricate all grease fittings. 5.
