TIPS/ REMARKS
1
.
Do not use the corer unit in wet conditions
. The tines may clog and your
turf damaged.
2.
Clean the unit regularly with air or low pressurized water
. DO
N’
T USE
HIGH PRESSURIZED WATER. The water can enter the bearings causing them to
seize.
3.
Use the trolley to move the heads easily to your triplex
. Next connect the
head to your triplex. In some cases, you need to raise the head and remove the
trolley, before you can mount the hydraulic motor.
4.
Be careful with tightening the hydraulic motor bolts
. Do it evenly and do
not over tighten. The ears of the hydraulic motor may crack.
5. Raise the heads and see if they stay in the right position and does not hit
anything. If it does, make some adjustments till if fits well.
5. Be sure that the heads do have
enough ground clearance
. Otherwise the tines
can hit the ground during transport, causing the rubbers to crack.
7.
Make your first test run outside the green
. Vary with the engine throttle and
the driving speed, if the holes do not look nice. Continue till you are satisfied.
8. Be sure that the
hydraulic motor speed setting of the triplex is set at its
maximum
. Next use only 70-80% of the max
engine rev’
s. NOTE: AT THE MOMENT
YOU H
EAR A SMALL HAMMERING NOISE, YOUR ENGINE/ REEL RPM’S ARE TOO
HIGH AND/ OR YOUR RUBBERS ARE WORN.
9. If the hole edge is damaged, play with the groundspeed. You also may need to
adjust your working depth. Or you may need to remove your core collector
(scraper) at the back. On weak turf, this scraper can hurt the hole edges.
10.
Be careful with dropping the units on a hard (concrete) floor
. Put
something (trolley or rubber carpet) underneath to protect the tines against folding.
Damage to the 9heads may occur.
11. Check bolts and nuts regularly. Re-tighten if necessary.
12. The core collector has a limited capacity. Make short passes, if you want to
collect all the cores to one side of the green.
13. The hole spacing in drive direction is set by the ground speed. Play with the
groundspeed to get the right spacing and the correct hole.
14. Do not over-tighten the tine secure bolts, as the threaded holes get damaged.
15.
START AND STOP PROCEDURE
: Set the engine throttle at appr. 60%. Drop
the heads and move forwards. Increase throttle till 75% of max revs.
At the end of
the pass STOP MOVING FORWARDS
and raise the heads. If you don
’t stop, the
tines may FOLD BACKWARDS (especially TORO) and damage the rubbers or the
turf.
16. You can make curves with the heads during work, BUT DO NOT MAKE TIGHT
CURVES. Damage to the units and green may appear.
17. The opening of the hollow tines should face to the rear of the machine,
otherwise the hole edge will get damaged.
18.
CHECK THE (HYDRAULIC) DRIVE OF THE GREENSMOWER REGULARLY.
DO NOT OVERHEAT THE (HYDRAULIC) DRIVE. MAREDO IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES TO THE GREENSMOWER
.
