required for the job. Refer to the
Parts Catalog
for the
list of accessories.

4.
Slide the new tines into the holes sized to fit the
tines selected. Never use small diameter tines
in the large diameter holes; the tines should fit
closely in the hole. Be sure to slide the tine up
into the head until it bottoms out.
Note:
Position hollow coring tines with the
ejection slot to the rear. Position solid tines with
the tine tip angle facing the machine (
).
5.
Tighten the clamping bolts firmly to secure the
tines.
Do not use impact tools.
6.
Set the tine angle for the new tines; refer
to
Adjusting the Tine Angle (Models SR54,
SR54-S, SR70 and SR70-S) (page 26)
or
Adjusting the Tine Angle (Model SR72) (page
27)
.
7.
Before aerating formal turf for the first time
after installing tines, test the aerator on a less
important area so that you can try alternative
traction unit gears and fine tune the adjustment
to achieve the hole spacing and turf appearance
desired.
