8. Whenever the slip coupling slips the bolts nuts can be tightened a quarter of a turn until you achieve a minimum length of 31 5 mm 1 250 of the spring Additional compression will overload the machine Screwing the bolts nuts too tight could ultimately damage the machine or create unsafe situations The slip coupling must be maintained on a monthly basis Follow the following steps Disconnect the top PTO protection cap from the machine Loosen up all the bolts nuts by 2 turns field let the machine run at very low revs 12 If the coupling slips stop the motor after 10 seconds If the coupling does not slip loosen up the bolts further or proceed with the maintenance annual maintenance task see point 4 below As soon as the coupling has slipped screw the bolts nuts tight until you see that the slip coupling is once again functioning properly Do not turn it back again to the previous setting 4 Annual maintenance Disconnect the PTO from the machine Inspect all the components of the PTO All the damaged components should be replaced Take the slip coupling apart by removing all the bolts and nuts that fasten the springs to each other the slip coupling should then simply fall apart Lay down all the components and look at them meticulously If components are damaged or worn out replace them Clean all interlocking components Re assemble all the components and tighten the bolts and nuts so tha

Chapter 6 0 determines the amount of pin movement in the soil The pin movement becomes larger if the angle is adjusted from 90 to 70 There is almost no pin movement if the setting is 90 If the pins are new they can damage the lawn certainly if the roots of the grass are weak First clean the pins manually or use the machine for 10 minutes on another rough underground If the roots of the grass are weak adjust the working depth in such as manner that the pricking depth is slightly deeper than the length of the roots This way the roots have a chance to grow deeper The next time prick deeper Applying this method will prevent damage to the lawn and ensures a healthy set of roots We recommend using solid pins with the sharp point in the direction of the front roller This method ensures the best pin movement in the soil On the other hand we recommend using pins with the sharp point in the direction of the rear of the machine in case of a lawn with weak roots Figure 18 26 Always use pins of the same thickness and length Replace bent pin immediately If you don t do this the machine can become unstable Do NOT use thicker and or longer pins than the ones we supply Shorter worn pins can be used if superficial pricking is required Be aware of the fact that the working depth indicated on the sticker will only be correct if the maximum length of the pin is used Oval holes are created if the to
