in the interlock system that must be corrected. If the
machine does not begin aerating, proceed to step 4.
4. Lower the machine to the aerate position (on
the rollers). Engage the traction bail to start the
machine moving. Push, then release the aerate
ENGAGE button. The water pump should
engage immediately, then the machine should
begin aerating 5 seconds after the pump engages.
Release the traction bail to the neutral position so
that the machine stops moving. The water pump
should disengage 4 seconds after the traction bail
returns to neutral, then stop aerating after another
3 seconds. If the machine does not stop aerating
when the traction bail returns to neutral, there is a
malfunction in the interlock system that must be
corrected. If the machine stops aerating, proceed
to step 5.
5. Engage the traction bail to start the machine
moving, then push the aerate ENGAGE button
to begin aerating. Push the aerate DISENGAGE
button. The water pump should disengage
immediately, then stop aerating after 3 seconds.
If the machine does not stop aerating, there is a
malfunction in the interlock system that must be
corrected.
Lights (LED's) on the controller (Figure 16)
indicate when the following inputs are made to the
controller:
Red Transport switch closed (traction bail in neutral)
Green Aerate start (engage) switch closed. If the red
and yellow lights are on, the green light will stay
on until either the red or yellow goes off.
Yellow Pump start limit switch closed (machine lowered
to aerate position) and water pressure switch
closed (water pressure of more than 30 psi) and
accumulator charge pressure switch (nitrogen
pressure more than 1800 psi).

Transport Operation

Use the traction bail to slow the machine while crossing
undulating terrain to avoid loss of control. The smooth
tires do not grip turf very well so use caution when
transporting the machine. 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 or water leaks and damage or wear to
hydraulic, water, and mechanical components.
Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, the machine can be pushed or
towed for a very short distance. However, we do not
recommend this as standard procedure.
Important: Do not push or the tow machine faster
than 3 MPH because pump damage may occur.
If the machine must be moved a considerable
distance, transport it on a truck or trailer or pull
it with the traction wheel raised and secured to a
dolly (Optional Hydrotote Trailer, Model 09833
available). Whenever the machine is pushed or
towed, the bypass valve must be opened. The hook
on the front of the handle is used as a tie-down
only, not a hitch point.
1. Unlatch and raise the hood.
2. Locate the bypass valve cap on the left side of the
hydraulic pump (Figure 17).
