Problem
Possible cause
Solution
Machine vibrates.
Crankshaft turns irregularly.
-
Machine is not horizontal.
-
Angles of the PTO’s turning points are
different.
Difficult conditions
-
PTO’s turning points are not aligned.
-
Adjust the working depth.
-
Use shorter / thinner pins.
-
In case of drought, first sprinkle water.
Solid / hollow pins break
and/or bend.
-
Change the pin; use shorter ones.
-
Use solid pins in front of the hollow
pins to break the soil open.
Difficult conditions
-
Adjust the working depth.
-
Use shorter / thinner pins.
-
In case of drought, first sprinkle water.
Rapid wear & tear
-
First use solid pins to break up the
soil.
-
Adjust the pin angle.
Front roller does not stand
stable on the ground.
Wrong pins; too much
resistance
-
Adjust the working depth.
-
Use different pins.
Difficult conditions
-
Adjust the working depth.
-
First sprinkle water.
PTO breaks.
Shafts crack.
-
PTO angles are too large.
-
Angles of the PTO’s turning points are
different.
Damage to the absorbers Bending / breaking
-

Angle adjustment of the central bar is
bent.
-
Bearing bushes are worn out.
-
Pins touch the ground when reversing
the machine.
Damage to the lawn
Oval holes
-
Soil is too wet.
-
Change the pin angle setting.
-

-
Adjust the working depth.
-
Use thinner pins.
-
Turn the pins so that the points are
directed toward the rear side of the
machine.
Pin comes loose from the
pin holder.
Difficult conditions
-
Use different pins.
-
