TurnAer Operation
(See Figure 8, Figure 9 and Figure 10)
The TurnAer was designed to make the aeration
procedure easier for the operator. When operated
properly the TurnAer will reduce lifting the aerator out
of the ground during operation by 90%. On a typical
lawn using a traditional aerator you might expect to lift
the machine over 100 times. A 90% reduction reduces
lifting to 10 times.
These results are only obtained when operated
correctly. This new technology requires the operator
to learn a totally new way to run an aerator. So forget
whatever you knew about aeration operation and
follow the instructions below.
Getting Started
Lifting and Lowering TurnAer
The TurnAer utilizes a cable system to allow you to
lift or lower the machine. Understanding how this
mechanism functions is a vital part of using the TurnAer
correctly.
Unlike traditional aerators that use a linkage system,
the lever on the TurnAer uses a cable that attaches to
a latch near the right side of the axle. When this latch
is engaged it either holds the axle up or keeps it down.
To release the latch the operator must pull up on the
Rear Transport Wheel Lift Handle. This will pull the
latch away from the axle allowing the rear transport
wheels to move up or down.
To lower the machine into the aeration position the
operator will need to pull up on the handle to release
the latch while pushing down on the handlebar. Once
the axle clears the latch the operator can let go of the
handle but must continue to push the handlebar down
until the axle locks in the aeration position. If the axle
does not lock into the aeration position the aerator
will float and will not pull quality cores. To raise the
machine out of the ground the operator simply pulls
up on the handle (while applying a slight downward
pressure on the handlebar) which will move the latch
allowing springs attached to the linkage to pull the
tines out of the ground.
Transport Operation
The TurnAer utilizes the new “Front-Traction Drive”
system for transport operation. “Front-Traction Drive
is a wheel driven traction feature which allows the unit
to transport easily on turf or hard surfaces.
Move the TurnAer from the trailer to the worksite in the
raised position (tines up) using the front wheels to pull
the unit along.
