Note:
To avoid excess lift, connect the lift arms of
the tractor into the top holes of the lift bracket, if
so equipped (Figure 22). The maximum angle on
the PTO shaft is 35º.

Top holes
Important:
When connecting the PTO, be
sure that the aerator is not being lifted higher
than is necessary. Lifting the machine too high
will cause the PTO shaft knuckles to break
(Figure 23). Never leave the PTO turning when
the aerator is lifted. The PTO can be operated
up to an angle of 25º, but can never exceed a 35º
angle when the aerator is at its highest position.
7. Verify that the PTO shield does not interfere with
the clutch.

Adjusting the Sway Links
No Parts Required
Procedure
The aerator is designed to be centered with the tractor
PTO shaft center line. Adjust the sway links as required.
The PTO shaft should be as straight as possible to the
tractor PTO shaft.
Adjust the sway links on the lower lift arms to minimize
side-to-side sway to a maximum of 1 inch (25 mm) on
each side (Figure 24).
