Operator Daily Inspection

WARNING

TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, 

Never Perform Any Inspection With the TurnAer 6 

Engine Running.

Wear the appropriate safety gear when Inspecting 

the TurnAer 6.

Before each use, check the following items. Refer any 

repairs to service personnel.

●  Inspect fuel levels. Do not fill fuel tank over 3/4 full.

●  Check for proper lubrication of the entire machine.

●  Check for proper oil levels in the engine.

●  Check condition and sharpness of the tines. Check 

for plugged or blocked tines.

●  Inspect all controls for proper operation

●  Inspect  the  entire  machine  for  loose  fasteners. 

Tighten if necessary.

●  Inspect for damaged, inoperable, or missing guards 

and  components.  Do  not  operate  any  machine 

with missing, inoperable, or damaged guards and 

components.

●  Check for a buildup of dirt, grass, cores or debris 

on the machine. Check under the top guard. Clean 

machine before use. Do not high pressure wash.

Storage

TO STORE

 the TurnAer 6 over a extended period, clean 

all surfaces and remove any remaining aeration cores 

from  the  machine.  Use  only 

Low Pressure  Wash

  on 

the  machine.  High  pressure  washing  can  wash  away 

the grease from the bearings.
Remove  fuel  from  gas  tank  and  run  engine  until 

carburetor is empty. Prepare engine in accordance with 

engine manufacturer’s directions.
To avoid getting a flat spot on the front tires, store with 

the front elevated.
Check  the  tines  and  remove  any  cores,  stones,  or 

debris. Apply a light film of light machine oil to the tines 

to control rust. See the lubrication directions and follow 

the procedures.
If needed, fold the handlebar into the storage position. 

Loosen  the  handlebar  locking  nuts  and  rotate  the 

handlebar  forward  until  locks  into  a  forward  position. 

The  handlebar  should  not  rest  on  the  front  bumper. 

Retighten locking nuts. Take care not to trap or stress 

any control cables.

TO  RETURN  TO  SERVICE  AFTER  EXTENDED 

STORAGE

, inspect the entire machine for any damage 

that may have occurred during storage. Look for loose 

or  missing  parts.  Refer  any  needed  correction  to  the 

proper service level maintenance personnel. Check all 

lubrication levels.
