•
Mounting the ProCore Aerator to the rear of the tractor
will decrease the weight on the tractor front axle. To
ensure adequate steering control and stability it may be
necessary to add ballast to the front of the tractor. Refer
to tractor operator's manual for ballast requirements.
•
Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield,
safety device or decal is damaged, repair or replace it
before operation is commenced. Also tighten any loose
nuts, bolts, and screws to ensure that the machine is in
safe operating condition.
•
While operating the machine, always wear substantial,
slip-resistant footwear, long trousers, hard hat, safety
glasses, and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do
not wear jewelry or loose clothing.
Operation
•
Keep all bystanders and pets away from the work area.
•
Using the machine demands attention to ensure control
of the machine. Remember to:
– Use only in daylight or when there is good artificial
light.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Do not transport machine close to a sand trap, ditch,
creek, or other hazard.
– Reduce speed on side hills and before making sharp
turns to prevent tipping or loss of control.
– Look behind the aerator before backing up.
•
If the tines strike a solid object or the machine vibrates
abnormally, disengage the PTO, engage the parking
brake and shut off the engine. Remove the key from
ignition switch. Check the aerator and the traction unit
for damage. Repair any damage before starting the engine
and operating the tines. Ensure that the tines are in good
condition and all bolts are tight.
•
Before leaving aerator and the tractor unattended,
disengage power to the aerator, lower the aerator, and
engage the parking brake of the tractor (if applicable).
Shut off the engine of the tractor.
•
Never dismount while tractor is in motion. Never get on
or off tractor while engine is running and PTO driveshaft
is engaged. Never step over PTO shaft to reach other
side of the aerator; walk around the machine.
•
Park the aerator on a hard, level surface; install the aerator
storage stands before disconnecting from the tractor.
•
If it is necessary to probe below the soil surface, use a
non-conductive material to prevent electrical shock in
case electrical wires are present.
Transporting
•
Ensure that you are in compliance with all regulations
regarding transporting equipment on the public roads
and highways.
•
Ensure that all reflectors and lights required are in place
and are clean and visible by overtaking and oncoming
traffic.
•
Never allow anyone to ride on the machine during
transport.
•
Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces
•
Independent brakes should always be locked together
when on the road.
PTO Shaft
•
For all PTO shaft steel parts (tubes, bearings, joints etc.)
disassembly or repairs, it is highly advisable to contact
your local Toro distributor. Removal of components for
repairs and reassembly may damage some parts if not
carried out correctly using special tools available in a
distributor's workshop.
•
The PTO shaft must not be used without the guards
supplied, with partial protection or with damaged guard,
or on CE machines, without the special anti-rotation
chains correctly hooked, so as to permit the maximum
angle of the PTO shaft without breaking the chains.
Maintenance
•
Before making adjustments or performing maintenance
on the aerator, shut off the engine, stop the PTO, and
engage the parking brake before dismounting from the
tractor. Ensure that the aerator is on the ground or
lowered onto the safety stands.
•
Support the machine with blocks or jacks, or on storage
stands when working beneath it. Never rely on the
tractor's hydraulics to support the machine.
•
Place all controls in neutral, shut off the engine, engage
the parking brake, and wait for all moving parts to stop
before servicing, maintaining, adjusting, or unblocking
the aerator.
•
Be sure that the machine is in safe operating condition
by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check the
tine mounting bolts frequently to be sure that they are
tightened to specification.
•
Do not check or adjust belt tension when the tractor
engine is running.
•
Ensure that all guards are replaced and the hood is
secured shut after maintaining or adjusting the machine.
•

this manual. If major repairs are ever needed or assistance
is desired, contact an Authorized Toro Distributor.
