Stop as follows:
1. Lower the engine rpm to about 1000.
2. Raise the machine from the ground.
3. Disengage the PTO shaft, as soon as the tines are out of the ground.
4. Raise the machine further, until the tines are at least 120 mm above the ground.
5. Go to the next spot and start again as described.
It is absolutely necessary to follow the procedures described above. If the machine is
placed in the ground first, with the PTO shaft not yet running, this can lead to serious damage
to the machine.
Lower the machine into the ground CAREFULLY.
Be careful when reversing.
During the work, the front roller must rest on the ground in a stable manner. If the machine is
unstable, fit different tines or change the working depth.
Not doing anything about machine instability will cause damage to the machine. The
machine is NOT protected against prolonged overload.
NEVER reverse with the tines in or near the ground.
NEVER reverse with the tines less than 120 mm above the ground. If the tines touch the
ground, the machine and/or the lawn will be damaged.
Do not use a hydraulic top link.
8.0 USING THE VERTI-CORE III
Before the Verti-Core III can be used on a lawn, the following must be checked:
1.
Are there any loose objects on the lawn? If so, remove these first.
2.
Are there any slopes? The maximum slope on which the machine can function properly is
20 degrees.
Always work from the top down.
3.
Is there any danger of objects flying around, such as balls, which could distract the
operator? If so, do
NOT
use the Verti-Core III.
4.
Is there any danger of subsiding, sliding? If so, postpone the work until circumstances
improve.
5.
When the ground is frozen or very wet, the work should be postponed until conditions have
improved.
6.
Are there any cables/pipes in the ground? If so, find out at what depth they are, and set the
working depth to 60% of that depth.
7.
Are there any hard objects in the ground? If so, use the Verti-Core III at a low PTO shaft
speed, and adjust the working depth.
8.
If the ground is very compacted, you should use shorter tines or adjust the working depth.
