7. SETTING TINE GANG ANGLE
Keep everyone clear of the rotor tines while adjusting tine gang angle. Removing bolts to
adjust tine gang angle will allow the gang to drop if not properly supported. Body extremities
can be injured should the gang drop.
The tine gang angle can be adjusted to 1-1/2º, 5º, & 7-1/2º.
The greater the angle the greater the cultivation action on the soil.
1. Park on a flat level surface, engage park brake, raise Aerator until tines are approximately 1” off the
ground, shut tractor engine off, and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
2. Place support block (5) under bearing guard (3) to keep the rotor tine gang from falling. Do not force
support block tight against the bearing guard as this will make adjusting the gang angle difficult.
3. Loosen both 1” nylock hex nuts (2) until bearing guard is resting on support block.
4. Remove both 1” nylock hex nuts (2) and 1” x 3” HHCS (2).
5. Slide gang on the support block to one of the three positions where the front gang hole in bearing guard
aligns with one of the selected three front mounting holes (2-1/2º, 5º, or 7-1//2º) in the bearing support.
6. Reinstall both 1” x 3” HHCS (1) and nylock hex nuts (2). Tighten nuts to the correct torque.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the other rotor tine gang.
For safety, it is best to make adjustments to the gang angle with the Aerator raised just
enough to support the tines off the ground by not more than 1”.
