4. Slide the PTO shaft forward as far as the tractor allows.
5. Pull back on the locking collar to secure the PTO shaft
in place. Slide the PTO shaft back and forth to make
sure that it is properly locked.
6. On CE models only, connect the shield safety chains
from the power shaft sections to the welded clips on
the link arms. Make sure that the chains remain slack
when the aerator is raised or lowered.
CAUTION
To help prevent bodily injury, keep all PTO
shields in place. On CE models, connect the
shield chains to link arms to prevent shields
from rotating during operation.
7. On the ProCore 864, install the lower PTO shield to
the aerator.
8. Verify that the telescoping tube has a minimum of 76
mm (3 inches) overlap when the aerator is raised to
the maximum height.
To check the overlap, measure the distance between
the end shields, as shown in figure
Figure 13 . This
dimension must not exceed 406 mm (16 inches). If
so, move the lower lift pins to the upper set of holes
prior to operation.

Adjusting the Sway Links
No Parts Required
Procedure
The ProCore 864 is designed to be offset from the tractor
center line. The PTO shaft is offset 1.57 inches to the left of
center and the aerator is offset 5.70 inches to the right of the
center line. Adjust the sway links as required.
The ProCore 1298 is designed to be centered with the tractor
center line. Adjust the sway links as required.
Adjust sway links on lower draft arms of 3 point hitch to
minimize side-to-side sway to a maximum of 25 mm (1 inch)
on each side (
Figure 14 ).
