Engine Controls:
The engine controls are all located
on the engine except for the throttle. The engine is
equipped with a On/Off switch, a fuel shutoff valve,
and a choke. Ensure that all engine controls are in
good operating condition. Do not alter engine controls
and/or operate the TurnAer 6 with defective or non-
operational engine controls.
Engine Throttle:
The throttle is located on the right
hand side of the handlebar. Set throttle
at a speed that is comfortable to safely
walk behind. Decrease throttle speed
when operating in an area with close obstacles.
Rear Transport Wheels Latch Handle:
The rear
transport wheels latch handle, located across the rear
of the handlebar, controls the latching mechanism
that enables the rear transport wheels to be latched in
either a raised or lowered position. To avoid damage to
the transport wheel control cables, do not pull directly
on the cable, always use the rear transport wheels lift
handle.
Clutch Handle:
The clutch handle is located across
the top of the handlebar.
Slowly pull back on the clutch
handle to engage the drive.
The clutch
will not
act as a brake when released. If the
clutch is released or disengaged when the TurnAer 6
is going up a slope, the machine will freewheel and
roll backwards towards the operator. If the clutch is
released or disengaged when going down a slope, the
machine will freewheel forward.
WARNING
Slowly Engage The Clutch Handle. Fast
Engagement May Cause The Operator to Lose
Control of the Aerator.
Right and Left Turn Steering Controls and Transport
Controls:
The steering and transport controls, located on the
clutch handle, serve two functions. During aeration
(tines in the turf) the controls function as right and left
turn steering controls. During transport (tines out of the
turf) the controls are used to start and stop forward
motion of the unit.
During aeration (tines in the turf)
Applying the right steering control makes the aerator
turn right, applying the left steering control makes the
aerator turn left. When
applied, the controls slow
down one side of the
aerator causing the other
side of the aerator to
speed up, resulting in the
desired right or left hand turn. Only light pressure on
the steering control lever is needed for a turn. Guide
the aerator during the turn with a slight right or left side
pressure on the handlebar to control the turn.
During Transport (tines out of the turf)
Applying the right hand control transfers power to the
front tires propelling the TurnAer forward. Applying
the left control stops.
Apply only one control
at a time. Applying both
controls at the same time
will cause undue stress
on the steering and
transport system. Applying both transport controls at
the same time will not stop the aerator.
DESCRIPTION OF HANDLEBAR IN STORAGE
POSITION
(See Figure 5)
The handlebar can be folded into a storage position.
Figure 5 shows the handlebar in this position. The
handlebar locking nuts have been loosened, the
handlebar rotated forward into the storage position,
and the locking nuts retightened to secure the setting.
When folding, the handlebar should not rest on the
front bumper. Use caution not to over extend, trap or
stress any control cables.
When in the folded storage position, the handlebar
should not be used as a lifting point. Never attempt
to start the engine or operate any controls with the
handlebar in the folded storage position.
TO AVOID INJURY,
and Avoid Damage To The TurnAer 6, Do Not
Start the Engine Or Attempt To Operate Any
Control When the Handlebar Is In the
Storage Position.
