OPERATION

AERATING OPERATION

NOTE: NEVER PARK THIS UNIT ON A SLOPE OF ANY KIND. Always keep tines in the up position when parking the unit.

TINES RAISING/LOWERING: The tines are raised or lowered into the ground by operating the tine engagement lever on the

right of the machine. When engaging the ground, be sure that lever cams over and locks into place. Tine penetration is very

dependent on surface preparation. When removing the tines from the engagement position, make sure the lever fully cams

over into the forward position for transport. READ the entire operation section before aerating.

ENGAGE TINES: With the aerator in the work area, lower the tines into the ground with the tine lowering lever and engage the

tine lever on the left hand side of the handle.

SPEED:It is recommended for proper aerating performance that the engine be operated at maximum RPM. Control ground

speed using the forward/reverse drive levers. Speed is proportional to the extent the levers are actuated.

AERATE: With the tines engaged, engage either the forward or reverse drive lever for the desired direction of travel. Note:

Core spacing on this machine is determined by speed. The faster you travel the further the spacing between cores pulled and

vice versa. NOTE: The hydraulic system may seem sluggish until the oil reaches a normal operating temperature.

PARKING BRAKE: To set the parking brake, push the lever located on the rear of the engine base down and to the right so

that it catches. To release the brake, simply push the lever back down and slide it to the left. When the lever is to the right, the

parking brake is on. When the lever is to the left the parking brake is off.

TRANSPORT: Be sure to lift the tine engagement lever (tines out of the ground) before transporting away from the work area.

LIFTING AND TIE DOWN: DO NOT Lift this unit. Tie down points are located on the frame with labels. Always secure the unit

at tie down points before transporting to job site.

*****TIPS*****

MOW

Mow the lawn to its normal cut height.

WATER

For the best performance and maximum tine penetration the lawn should be thoroughly watered the day before aeration.

INSPECT

Check the lawn before beginning work. Remove all rocks, wire, string, or other objects that can present a hazard during work prior

to starting.

IDENTIFY

Mark all fixed objects to be avoided during work, such as sprinkler heads, water valves, buried cables, or clothes line anchors, etc.

SLOPES

Do not operate the aerator on steep slopes. Use extreme caution when operating on any sloped surface. For lesser sloped areas

operate the unit, traversing up and down at a 45 degree angle to the slope rather than straight across. Extended operation on

steep slopes can cause engine damage. NOTE: DO NOT release the operators clutch bail when operating on a slope. This will

allow the unit to free wheel and allow the unit to roll down the slope. NOTE: Honda engines are equipped with a low oil sensor to

prevent engine damage. When it senses a low oil condition (i.e. unit is operating or sitting on a steep slope) the engine shuts

down. The maximum operating slope for the engine is 200. The low oil condition must be corrected before the engine can be

restarted. See the engine owner’s manual for more information.

FOR INFORMATION REGARDING SERVICE INTERVALS FOR ENGINE, REFER TO SUPPLIED ENGINE MANUAL

ENGINE MUST BE LEVEL WHEN CHECKING OR FILLING OIL

SERVICING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

NOTE:DO NOT SERVICE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WHEN IT IS HOT.

WARNING: Due to the dangerous potential of fluid injection, you should always use a

piece of paper to check for hydraulic leaks rather than using your fingers.

READ all safety instructions before servicing unit.

DISCONNECT spark plug wire before servicing unit.

1. To check the hydraulic oil level, twist the breather cap on the oil tank counter-clockwise ¼ turn and remove. When

looking inside the filler hole, you should fill the tank so that you can just see oil start to cover the bottom of the internal

strainer. Use 20W-50 engine oil for normal operating temperatures and for colder climates switch to 15W-40. An

excellent choice for colder climates is Mobil 10W-40 Synthetic oil. Over-filling the tank will result in excess oil sloshing

out of the breather during operation.

2. To change the oil filter it is advisable to clamp the hose from the tank prior to loosening the filter in order to prevent

excessive spilling of hydraulic oil.

3. Remove filter by un-screwing counter-clockwise from filter base.

4. When replacing filter (Billy goat P/N 362396), it is recommended to spread a thin coat of oil on the rubber gasket of

the filter prior to re-installing.

5. After the rubber gasket seats, turn an additional 2/3 turn.

NOTE: Items in ( ) can be referenced in the Parts Illustrations and Parts Lists on pages 12-23.

INDIVIDUAL TINE REPLACEMENT (See page 14 and 15 for Parts Illustration and Parts list)

1. While it is possible to replace only one tine at a time, it is recommended to replace tines in pairs on a tining arm.

2. To replace tines, simply remove the 3/8” bolt that passes through the tining arm assembly. In this way, the tines can

be removed from the arm by sliding outward from the tining arm.

3. Remove the worn or broken tines from the assembly.

4. Inspect the bolt for wear, straightness, or thread damage. If the bolt is damaged, it should be replaced. This bolt is a

Grade 8 fastener. Replacing with a weaker bolt is not recommended.

5. To re-install, place a washer on the tine holder and then a tine onto the bolt. Now install these onto the tining arm

with the open side of the tine facing the rear of the machine. Once the bolt is through the tining arm, place another

tine on the bolt, then a tine holder. Finally, install a washer and nylon inserted lock nut. Tighten the assembly. Be

careful not to over tighten which will bend the tine holders.

NOTE: Tines are a normal wear item and should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage.

BELT AND CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT

READ all safety instructions before servicing unit.

DISCONNECT spark plug wire before servicing unit.

ADJUSTING BELT TENSION (See page 12 and 13 for Parts Illustration and Parts list)

1. Proper belt tension needs to be maintained to prevent slippage during operation. When bail is fully actuated the

length of the coiled portion of the clutch cable spring should be 1.75”.

2. If the clutch cable spring needs adjustment, loosen the jam nuts holding the cable on the handle assembly and adjust

the cable either in or out to shorten or lengthen the spring.

3. Once proper adjustment is reached, tighten the jam nuts.

4. Once adjustment is made, re-install spark plug wire and test adjustment. The machine hydraulic pump and transaxle

should dis-engage when the bail is released. There should be no evidence of belt slippage (reduced ground speed or

slow tine RPM) when operating the machine with bail engaged.

NOTE: Never release the clutch on a slope. The unit is heavy and will free wheel downhill.

NOTE: A worn belt will not allow for proper adjustment and must be replaced.

ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION (See page 14 and 15 for Parts Illustration and Parts list)

1. Remove the hood (item 4) by removing the seven bolts, washers, and lock washers. (items 111,119,128), that secure

it to the tining frame.

2. Locate the bolt (item 31, 33) and nut (item 80) that hold each chain idler sprocket to the tining frame of the unit. One

idler sprocket sets tension on the left tine drive chain and one sets tension on the right tine drive chain.

3. Loosen the bolt and nut and slide the idler sprocket (item 29) in the desired direction.

INCREASED TENSION: Slide the sprocket up.

DECREASED TENSION: Slide the idler sprocket down.

4. Tighten the bolt and nut to secure the sprocket in place.

5. Replace the hood and reinstall the seven bolts, washers, and lock washers that secure it in place.

NOTE: Over tensioning the chain will cause premature chain and sprocket wear. DO NOT OVER TENSION THE CHAIN.

A properly tensioned chain will have slack of 3/8"-1/2" when moved by hand.

DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT (See page 12 and 13 for Parts Illustration and Parts list)

READ all safety instructions before servicing unit.

DISCONNECT spark plug wire before servicing unit.

1. Disconnect spark plug wire.

2. Loosen four screws (item 112) holding belt cover (item 10) and remove the cover.

3. Examine condition of belt. Look for cracks, splits, delamination or damage to outer covering. Any of these things

might warrant replacement.

4. If the idler is not providing enough tension inspect the clutch cable spring (item 231) underneath the handle. This

spring body should stretch to a length of 1.75” when the operator presence handle is actuated. If not enough tension

is being put on the spring this could mean a stretched belt, but most likely the cable needs adjusted. Simply loosen

the jam nuts holding the cable on the handle assembly and adjust the cable either in or out to shorten or lengthen

the spring. Re-tighten nuts and check spring stretch.

5. Replace belt cover (item 10) and secure with screws removed earlier.

6. Reconnect spark plug wire.

7. Check belt tension by operating unit under conditions that caused belt slippage. If belt continues to slip it may

require replacement before operation may continue.

CHAIN REPLACEMENT (See page 14 and 15 for Parts Illustration and Parts list)

1. Remove the hood (item 4) by removing the seven bolts, washers, and lock washers. (items 111,119,128), that

secure it to the tining frame.

2. Locate the bolt (items 31, 33) and nut (item 80) that hold each chain idler sprocket to the tining frame of the unit.

One idler sprocket sets tension on the left tine drive chain and one sets tension on the right tine drive chain.

3. Loosen the bolt and nut and slide the idler sprocket (item 29) to the bottom of the slot in the bracket.

4. Locate the master link in the chain and remove.

5. When installing new chain make sure that the inner crank arm is lined up with the inner crank arm of the opposite

side. In operation, the two inner tining arms move together and the two outer tining arms move together. Any other

timing of the arms will result in unsatisfactory performance of the machine.

6. Once new chain is installed, replace the hood and reinstall the seven bolts, washers, and lock washers that secure it

in place.

NOTE: Over tensioning the chain will cause premature chain and sprocket wear. DO NOT OVER TENSION THE

CHAIN. A properly tensioned chain will have slack of 3/8"-1/2" when moved by hand.

CHAIN LUBRICATION (See page 14 and 15 for Parts Illustration and Parts list)

1. Remove the top guard by removing the four nuts, two on each side that secures it to the frame.

2. Apply a light coat of No. 30 Oil or a penetrating chain lubricant to keep the chain clean and in good running order.

3. Replace the guard and reinstall the four screws that secure it in place.

NOTE:If machine is cleaned with a pressure washer the chains should be lubricated after each cleaning.
