DANGER: Operate the implement only at the speed and direction of rotation
indicated on the machine. Serious damage can result if this is not followed.
CAUTION: Before starting work, clear the area of any obstacles or foreign
objects.
The aerator-overseeder is set up to be used on tractors with a PTO of 540 rpm.
With the engine in neutral and tractor rpm low, engage the PTO and very slowly bring
the tractor rpm up to ¾ its normal working speed. Lower the machine to the ground and
increase the rpm until a PTO speed of 540 is reached. Never operate over 540 rpm.
When using the maximum rated horsepower tractors, it is important to “feather
in” the PTO. Sudden jolts of high power can cause damage to the driveline or
gearbox

rotor.
9. Checking to see if front weights need to be added to the tractor in order to maintain
balance.
10. Checking the tractor tires for the proper pressure in accordance to the tractor
operator’s manual.
11. Checking that all shielding is on the machine and securely in place.
12. Making sure the proper attire is worn. Avoiding loose fitting clothing which can
