7.6 AERATING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The GA–60 is designed to aerate at a MAXIMUM depthof 4” (102 mm). The operator should be aware that, inextremely hard soil, the machine may not be capable ofpushing the tines 4” (102 mm) into the ground. DO NOToperate with the depth setting at the 4” (102 mm) maxi-mum when the tines are only penetrating 2–3 inches(51–76 mm). Operating under these conditions willcause premature wear and/or broken components in theaerator linkage. If the aerator tires consistently ride up offthe turf or bounce up off the turf, the ground is too hard.
NEVER try to aerate at a depth greater than the soilconditions will allow. The operator must first make a testrun, measure the depth of the holes, and set the depthadjustment to correspond. After aerating the area onceor twice at that depth to loosen the sub–soil, it may bepossible to lower the settings each time until the 4” (102mm) maximum depth can be accomplished withoutabusing the GA–60.
AGAIN––Aerate a small test plot, measure the depth ofthe hole and adjust the depth setting on the GA–60 tomatch it.
If aerating extremely hard soil, additional penetration ispossible with added water, either by rain or irrigation.
Moist ground is easier to aerate than dry ground and isalso easier on the aerator mechanism.
If aerating in soil with rocks or stones, additional penetra-tion over time may not be possible. The operator mustdetermine what depth is possible for that area and besure he does not exceed that depth.
Adjusting the depth from 2 1/2” (64 mm) to 4” (102 mm) isaccomplished by adjusting the 1/2” (13 mm) axle stopspacers shown in Figure 11.
