PUT OIL IN ENGINE BEFORE STARTING

ASSEMBLY

READ all safety instructions before assembling unit.

TAKE CAUTION when removing the unit from the box.

NOTE: Items in ( ) can be referenced in the Parts Illustration and Parts List on pages 10-11.

1. REMOVE the two bolts and nuts from the hardware bag (item 44 and 5).

2. ATTACH the upper handle (item 70) by sliding it into the rear facing holes and attaching it with the hardware from step 1.

NOTE: The bail should be facing downward.

3. ATTACH the tine lift cable (item 49) to the tine lever (item 69) in the center of the handle by inserting the pin (item 88) into

it in the hole closest to the end of the handle and then inserting the rue ring (item 6). See Fig. 1 below and reference Part

Illustration on page 10.

4. ATTACH the drive cable (item 78) to the left side bracket on the handle (item 70) by sandwiching the two nuts on the

bracket and tightening. Install cable adjuster (item 71) by threading it on the end of the cable until thread begins to show.

NOTE:Protruding portion of the threaded adjuster must be facing the operator when installed. Check to make sure

the cables are functioning properly before operation and not binding. If adjustments are needed for belt tension on the bail

cable, loosen the nuts and move the sandwiching position up or down for the desired tension.

NOTE: if the tension is too loose the tines will not engage and if it is too tight premature wear could happen to the belt.

5. ATTACH the tine cable (item 77) to the right side bracket on the handle (item 70) using the same method previously used

for the drive cable. Check for proper operation and adjust the tension accordingly.

6. CHECK engine oil level and fill to proper level. Also check oil in gear reduction reservoir and fill if necessary. See engine

owner’s manual for type and amount of oil to use. Move the tine engagement lever to the down position, to level engine

during checking.

7. SET the engine stop switch, located on the upper handle, to the ON position.

OPERATION

STARTING ENGINE

See engine manufacturer’s instructions for type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine must be level when checking and

filling oil and gasoline.

ON/OFF SWITCH: Set the On/Off Switch to the On position.

ENGINE SPEED: Controlled by lever on the engine. Under normal conditions, operate at the minimum throttle speed to

accomplish your task.

FUEL VALVE: Move fuel valve to "ON" position. (Honda: Located below the air cleaner on the engine.)

CHOKE: Engage the choke when starting a cold engine. (Honda: Located below the air cleaner on the engine.)

THROTTLE: Move the throttle control lever on the engine to fast position. Pull starting rope to start engine

IF YOUR UNIT FAILS TO START: check trouble shooting section in operator’s manual. Also see engine manual.

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 low oil condition must be corrected before the engine can

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

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

upper handle. Tine penetration is very dependent on surface preparation. READ the entire operation section before aerating.

ENGAGING DRIVE: Pull up on the left lever only. Likewise, for reverse push the lever down (only use reverse with the tines up).

ENGAGE TINES: With the aerator in the work area, lower the tines by releasing the center lever on the handle. When the lever is

in the forward position, pull up on the tine engage bail (left hand) to engage the tines.

AERATE: Engage the drive bail (right hand) for forward momentum while engaging the tine bail (left hand). NOTE: in cold

temperatures engage the tines in the up position for two minutes to warm the cam grease. For maximum tine penetration apply

downward pressure on the handle.

TURNING: At the end of an aerating run, release the drive and tine bails and raise the tines out of the ground. Then reposition

the unit for another pass and lower the tines to begin another run.

TRANSPORT: Be sure to raise tines out of the ground (disengaging the bail and then raising the tines with the center lever)

before transporting away from the work area.

*****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 (exceeding 15o). 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: 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 low oil condition must be corrected before the engine can be restarted. See the engine owner’s manual for more

information.

Every 10 hrs

Every 50 Hrs

Every 100 Hrs

Inspect for loose, worn or damaged parts



Check engine oil



Inspect belt for wear



Engine (See engine manual)

Grease Cam bearings (recommend using

Almagard #3752)



Thoroughly clean all debris from unit and tines



Replace tine bushings



Grease shaft bearings and wheel bearings



ENGINE MUST BE LEVEL WHEN CHECKING OR FILLING OIL

INDIVIDUAL TINE REPLACEMENT

1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.

2. Loosen the jam nut (item 12) then unscrew the tine (item 13).

3. Replace the tine making sure to use the maximum amount of threads on the tine.

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

ADJUSTING BELT TENSION-

1. Adjust the clutch cable (item 78) by threading the cable adjuster (item 52) further onto the cable to tighten belt. The opposite

direction will loosen the belt. Do not over tighten the v-belt. This puts a load on the engine gearbox bearings. The belt is tight

enough when it does not slip during operation.

2. Also loosen engine and slide in slots to apply or relieve tension on belt.

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

TINE BELT REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the spark plug.

2. Remove the lower and upper tensioner brackets (items 63 and 64) on both sides of the pulley (item 81).

3. Walk the belts (item 89) off of the engine pulley.

4. Attach a hoist mechanism to the cam shaft (item 51), and then remove the four bolts, washers, and nuts (items 85, 8 and 9)

that attach the bearing (item 7) of the cam shaft to the frame.

5. Raise the cam shaft out of the frame and remove the old belt.

6. To replace the belt, simply slide the new belt onto the pulley when the cam shaft is raised then follow the previous steps in

reverse to install.

DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect the spark plug.

2. Follow Steps 1-5 in the tine belt replacement section above. The tine belt will need to be removed before the Drive belt can

be removed.

3. Remove the idler (item 47) and hardware (items 8, 9, and 25).

4. Loosen the tension bolt (item 99) so that the idler pulley (item 3) releases tension on the drive belt (item 79)

5. Walk the drive belt off of the pulleys and remove the old belt.

6. To replace the belt put the drive belt on in reverse order. (make sure not to over-tighten the tension bolt as this could lead to

premature failure of the belt.

7. After the new drive belt is on then attach the tine belt in reverse order from the steps that it was removed.
