Hydraulic Fluid
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear protective loves and safety glasses
or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather
than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it
must be treated by a doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.
One of the most important things you can do to prevent hydraulic system problems is ensure that your tractor’s
reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching them to
your tractor. Replace your tractor’s hydraulic filter element at the prescribed intervals. These simple step in
maintenance will go a long way to prevent occurrence of control valve and hydraulic cylinder problems.
TINE REPLACEMENT
Always secure Aerator in the up position with solid supports before servicing the underside.
Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if
controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop the Aerator
instantly even when power to the hydraulics is shut off.
“Right-Hand” or “Left-Hand” as used in this manual is determined by facing the direction the machine will
operate while in use.
Stamped on the tines is LH for left-hand or RH for right-hand tine designation.
Make sure right-hand tines are mounted on the right-hand gang and left-hand tines are
mounted on the left-hand gang and that the knife edge leads as the tine rotates about the
shaft.
NOTE:
Tines are bolted on in a Spiral Pattern 22.5
degrees from on blade to the blade on the next
flange over. Arrow in Figure shows tines shifting
22.5º from one hub assembly to the next.
