Checking the Torque of the
Wheel Nuts
Service Interval: After the first 8 hours
Check the torque of the wheel nuts initially and after
the first 10 hours of operation.
Failure to maintain proper torque could result
in failure or loss of wheel and could result in
personal injury. Torque wheel lug nuts to 45-55
ft. lb.

Starting Instructions

ROTATING PARTS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY
• Keep hands and feet away from core
processor reel while machine is running.
• Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury.
• NEVER operate the machine with covers,
shrouds, or guards removed.
Note: Before starting the unit, make sure the chopper
rotates freely.
1. Move throttle lever midway between SLOW and
FAST position.
2. Move choke lever to ON position.
Note: Choke may not be required when starting a
warm engine.
3. Insert key into ignition switch and rotate it
clockwise to start the engine. Release key when
engine starts. Regulate the choke to keep engine
running smoothly.
Important: To prevent overheating of the
starter motor, do not engage starter longer than
10 seconds. After 10 seconds of continuous
cranking, wait 60 seconds before engaging
starter motor again.
4. Move throttle lever to FULL engine speed.
Note: Do not allow the core processor to stand
still while engaged as turf damage may occur.

Stopping Instructions

Note: When operating in the one pass configuration,
always lift the aerator from the ground before stopping
the core processor.
1. Before stopping the core processor, run the chopper
rotator for one to two minutes to clear excess soil.
2. Move throttle lever to SLOW position and wait for
the engine to decelerate before moving the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent
accidental starting.
Important: To stop operation in an emergency,
move the remote control switch to OFF
position.

Operating the Core Processor

• Make sure the core processor is clean, especially the
brush and chopper housings.
• Set the brush height slightly higher above height of
cut-Example: height of cut equals 3/4 inch then
brush setting is 7/8 inch.
• Start the core processor first. Start at low RPM.
• Once the engine is started, increase the RPM slowly
to full RPM.
• Always operate the core processor at full RPM.
Note: If soil builds up on the inside of the brush or
chopper housing, scrape clean using the scraper, located
at the front of the machine.
