Section 3:  Adjustments
Hitch Height
Refer to Figure 3-1:
Cat. IV hitch (#5) can be raised or lowered to suit. Hitch in 
Figure 3-1 is shown being installed in the highest 
position. Use this location for tractors with a high 
drawbar. Use the lower mounting location for tractors 
with a lower drawbar.
1.
With tongue supported by the support jack (#4), 
remove cap screws (#2).
2.
Align Cat. IV hitch with the top two holes or with the 
bottom two holes as needed.
3.
Insert 1"-8 x 7" GR5 cap screws (#2) through 
mounting holes in hose holder (#1), nearside holes in 
the tongue, mounting holes in Cat. IV hitch (#5), and 
out through the far side holes in the tongue.
4.
Secure cap screws with nylon insert nuts (#3). 
Tighten nuts to the correct torque.

Rotor Tine Gang Angle
!
WARNING
Keep everyone clear of the rotor tines while adjusting tine 
gang angle. Removing bolts to adjust tine gang angle will 
allow the gang to drop if not properly supported. Body 
extremities can be injured should the gang drop.
The tine gang angle can be adjusted to 2 1/2
o
,5
o
 & 71/2
o
The greater the angle the greater the cultivation action on 
the soil. 
Refer to Figure 3-2:
1.
Park on a flat level surface, engage park brake, raise 
Aerator until tines are approximately 1" off the 
ground, shut tractor engine off, and remove key 
before dismounting from tractor.
2.
Place support block (#5) under bearing guard (#1) to 
keep the rotor tine gang from falling. Do not force 
support block tight
 against the bearing guard as 
this will making adjusting the gang angle difficult.
3.
Loosen both hex top lock nuts (#3) until bearing 
guard (#1) is resting on support block (#5). 
4.
Remove hex top lock nuts (#3), cap screws (#2), and 
flat washers (#4).
5.
Slide gang on the support block to one of the three 
positions where the front gang hole in bearing guard 
aligns with one of the selected three front mounting 
holes (2 1/2
o
, 5
o
, or 7 1/2
o
) in the bearing support. 
6.
Reinstall 3/4"-10 x 2 3/4" GR5 cap screws (#2), flat 
washers (#4), and hex top lock nuts (#3). Tighten 
nuts to the correct torque.
7.
Repeat steps 2 t6 for the other rotor tine gang.

IMPORTANT: For safety, it is best to make 
adjustments to the gang angle with the Aerator 
raised just enough to support the tines off the 
ground by not more than 1".
