Depth Chart Guide

Note: In instances where sufficient root growth exists, the turf guards may be removed to attain maximum depth without
damaging the turf guards.
Note: For future reference, record the upper link length
that achieves the desired operating angle.

Tractor Controls

It is necessary to familiarize yourself with the operation of
the following tractor controls before you are able to
operate the aerator:
• PTO Engagement
• 3-Point Hitch (Raise/Lower)
• Clutch
• Throttle
• Gear Selection
Note: Refer to tractor operator's manual for operating
instructions.

Principles of Operation

The tractor's three point hitch linkage lifts the aerator for
transport and lowers it for operation.
The tractor's power take-off (PTO) power is transmitted
via shafts, gearbox and drive belts to a number of
crankshafts which drive the tine holding arms into the turf
surface.
