Adjusting the Coring Depth
A coring depth of 2-1/2 inches (6.35 cm) is
recommended, but you can change the depth as follows:
1. Raise the tines, stop the machine, stop the engine,
and disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Loosen the nuts securing the wheel stop on the
right side of the machine (Figure 14).

3. Raise the wheel stop to increase the coring depth
and lower it to reduce the depth as required.
4. Tighten the nuts securely to lock the wheel stop in
place.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the wheel stop on the
left side of the machine. Set the wheel stops to the
same height on each side.
Securing the Machine for
Transport
When transporting the machine on a trailer, always use
the following procedure:
Important:
Do not operate or drive the machine
on roadways.
1. Drive the machine onto that trailer, stop the
machine, stop the engine, turn off the fuel valve,
and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Important:
If you do not turn off the fuel valve,
the engine may flood during transport.
2. Secure the machine to the trailer with chains or
straps using the tie-down/lift loops (Figure 5).
Operating Tips
•
For best performance and maximum tine
penetration, water the turf thoroughly the day
before aerating.
•
Clean the area of debris before using the machine.
•
Mark and avoid shallow obstacles such as sprinkler
heads and invisible fence wires.
