OPERATION SAFETY
• Your Safety Is Always First! Familiarize yourself with the safety symbols and decals on pages 3 and 4.
•
All operators should read and understand the following sections of this manual prior to adjusting, maintaining, hitching to, or operating the AERA-vator: OPERATION SAFETY,
OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS, PRE-OPERATION CHECKS, MAINTENANCE CHECKS,
MAINTENANCE SAFETY, OPERATOR MAINTENANCE.
• In addition, remove and read the drive line safety and maintenance manual taped to the drive line shield. After reading the drive line manual, place it inside this manual for reference.
• For the safety and instruction of all operators, keep this manual stored on the AERA-vator at all times.
• Never attempt to adjust, maintain, or remove debris from any moving part of this machine while it is attached to a tractor or other power source with the engine running.
• After operating, always disengage the power take off and switch the engine off prior to dismounting from the tractor or other power source and approaching the unit.
• Prior to starting, always inspect operating area for any hazards such as large rocks, steep slopes, low tree branches or wires. Flag objects difficult to see such as irrigation heads and water meters.
• Instruct all people in the work area to stay clear of the unit.
• Perform all pre-operation checks (page 8) prior to start up.
• Never engage the power take off while the rotors are off the ground. Always disengage the power take off before lifting the unit. High-speed rotors create a flying object hazard when they are lowered to the ground.
WARNING
*TO PREVENT A THROWN OBJECT HAZARD, DO NOT
ENGAGE PTO IN LIFTED POSITION.
*TO PREVENT A ROLL OVER HAZARD DO NOT LIFT THE
UNIT WHILE SIDEWAYS ON SLOPES ABOVE 5 DEGREES.
Figure 1. Tractor Roll Over/Thrown Object Warning

• Consult your tractor Operator's Manual regarding operation on slopes. Do not lift the unit while the tractor is moving (or parked) sideways on slopes above 5
°. The swing hitch may allow the unit to swing to the downhill side and cause the tractor to roll over. On slopes from 5
° to 15° always aim the tractor uphill before lifting the unit. We do not recommend the unit being used on slopes above 15
°.
• Use extreme care and maintain moderate ground speed when transporting or operating on slopes, over rough surfaces, or close to trees ditches and fences.
• Only operate during daylight hours or with good artificial light.
• The AERA-vator is not equipped for highway use. Be careful of traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS
• The AE-40L AERA-vator is designed to attach to a tractor with a category one three point hitch, 540 PTO, and a minimum of 12 horsepower. However, a larger tractor may be required for increased lifting capacity. Check the tractor owner and operator’s manual for lift capacity. The weight of the AE-40Lis 570 lbs.
•
Before hitching to the AERA-vator familiarize yourself with all of the tractors control functions. Be prepared to stop the tractor movement, PTO operation, and the engine quickly in an emergency.

UNDERSTANDING HOW THE SWING HITCH OPERATES (PRIOR TO HITCHING
TO TRACTOR)
With the swing stand lowered and the swing mast rearward to disengage the swing lock, grasp the hitch pins and rotate the
“A” frame to simulate operation in a sharp turn. Release the hitch pins and slowly pull the swing mast forward as it would be pulled by the top link during lifting. Notice how one mast chain tightens causing the
“A” frame and unit to realign and the spring on the lock link is compressed to make the swing lock engage upon alignment. Now push the swing Figure 2. Swing Hitch Operation mast rearward against the lock link tab to disengage the swing lock and loosen the chains to allow sharp turns again. This demonstrates how the top link of the tractor lift system switches the AERA-vator between the trail and lift modes.
CORRECTLY ADJUSTING THE HITCH TO THE TRACTOR
A category 1 hitch tractor is required with the lower links stabilized. With the AERA-vator swing stand lowered connect the lower lift links to the “A”
Frame and top link to the swing mast. Push the lift control lever on the tractor to the completely lowered position. Lengthen the adjustable top link until the swing mast closes tight against the “A” Frame and the AERAvator swing stand is lifted 1/8 to 1/4 inch off the ground. This causes the combined weight of the AERA-vator and the tractor hitch components to be transferred to the tines. This ex Figure 3. Hitch Adjustment tended top link also causes the
7
AERA-vator to tilt backwards when lifting allowing gravity to assist the swing chains in aligning the unit with the tractor. DO NOT ADD ADDITIONAL WEIGHT TO THE AERA-vator
OR APPLY DOWN PRESSURE TO THE TRACTOR LIFT LINKS DURING OPERATION.
• The geometry of tractor lift linkages varies, and a trial run over uneven ground is recommended. Ideally the swing lock will not engage when aerating over the crown of a hill and the tractor hitch is always free to float upward at all times. The tines should clear curbs etc., when lifted.
• When lowering for operation, lower slowly until the tines touch the ground. Then swiftly push the lift control lever on the tractor to the completely lowered position to instantly unlock the hitch. This is especially true when lowering the unit in a sharp turn. Failure to do this may cause the swing hitch not to disengage, resulting in damage to the machine and/or turf damage. In the event the unit should fail to unlock for trail mode, stop the tractor and repeat the lowering procedure.
DO NOT TURN THE TRACTOR WITH THE AERA-vator IN THE GROUND AND THE
SWING LOCK ENGAGED. DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT MAY OCCUR!
• When operating diagonally downhill or transversely (sideways) on a hillside slope above
5
° the mast chains will not swing the unit uphill to center and lock on the tractor when the unit is lifted. Occasionally the unit will swing farther to the downhill side of the tractor creating the hazard of tractor roll over. If the tractor ever seems unstable, immediately lower the hitch and steer the tractor uphill or on a more level surface where it will center and lock when lifted.
• Do not back the unit up with the AERA-vator touching the ground. Always disengage the
PTO, raise the unit, back to desired location and then lower the machine and engage the
PTO.
• The operating ground speed of the tractor will depend on the amount of soil agitation required. Slower tractor ground speed (lower gears) will be used for renovating in extremely hard dry ground. Faster tractor ground speeds (higher gears) will be used for aeration work in normal conditions. To reduce the amount of soil agitation simply reduce the engine
RPM. Three to four miles per hour is the most common speed range.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(With the AERA-vator lowered and the tractor engine switched off...)
• Be sure that the implement is hitched to the tractor properly with all pins in place.
• Pin the swing stand in the up position.
• Be sure the driveline is correctly assembled.
(The end stenciled as the tractor end is connected to the tractor and not to the AERA-vator). Check to see that the end yokes are
8
locked to the tractor PTO and gearbox shafts. Drive shields must turn freely on the driveline.
• See that all shields are correctly installed.
• Remove any debris caught in the rotors.
• Check gearbox oil level before first operation and every 200 hours of operation thereafter.
(Refer to operator maintenance section.)
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
• Never attempt to clean, adjust, lubricate or perform any maintenance on the AERA-vator while it is attached to the tractor or any other power source with the engine running.
• Read and understand all safety decals prior to performing any maintenance.
Replace any safety decals that are not legible.
• Never attempt to clean, adjust, lubricate or perform any maintenance on the AERA-vator while it is attached to the tractor in the raised position unless safety blocks are inserted under the frame.
• When not attached to the tractor, always use the lifting hook to hoist the machine for maintenance. (See Figure 4). Use ex-
LIFTING HOOK treme caution when using lifting hook because center of gravity is affected by additional attachments and the unit may shift rearward.
• When installing tines, performing any rotor shaft service, or removing debris from the rotors, ensure that the rotor shaft does not rotate because a serious pinch injury could occur.

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
• Check gearbox oil level before first operation and every 200 hours of operation thereafter.
With frame level, remove oil plug on top side of gear box using 5/16” x 6” allen wrench through access hole in frame. Use a piece of 1/16" dia. wire for checking fluid level. Push wire into hole in gearbox until it hits the bottom. Pull out and measure the amount of oil left on wire. There should be approx. 1-3/4" to 2" of oil on wire. If required, add 90wgear oil through plug in top of box until correct amount appears on wire. Replace top plug securely.
• Grease driveline parts after the number hours use as shown in the following chart.
Figure 5 Drive Line Lube Chart
• The hitch flex joints at the top of the “A” frame and above the gearbox (see page 18) should be lubricated before first operation and weekly thereafter.
• After the first two hours of operation tighten all tines to 210-ft. lbs. Check for loose tines daily.
• When replacing lost or worn tines use a 15/16” extra deep socket (Socket is available through our repair parts. Order # AE60T003) and torque to 210 ft. lbs.
• CHECK BELT TENSION every 4 hrs. of operation for the first 12 hrs. and every 100 hrs. thereafter. Also, tighten belts if shaft hesitation is noticed during operation. Over tightening belts may cause damage to the machine. Be sure to re-install belt shield after servicing.
• Use the applicable parts break down illustration pp.16-22 for maintenance removal, and assembly instructions.
• The AERA-vator shaft and rotor bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated requiring no routine maintenance.

AE40L SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
ROTOR SHAFT
I. Removal & Disassembly (Clean the machine thoroughly with a pressure washer)
A. Removal of Rotor Shaft Assembly from Main Frame.
(This may require an overhead lift. For safety reasons, only lift the Aera-vator approximately two inches above the work surface).
1. Remove belt cover and drive belts.
2. Remove skid shoe.
3. Remove 3/8" carriage bolts holding end rotor shaft bearings (see Figure 6).
4. Move frame slightly to right and lift off of rotor shaft assembly . Refer to Drive Train Components for identifying listed components not shown, pg. 17
Figure 6. Rotor Shaft Assembly
B. Disassembly of Rotor Shaft Assembly
1. Remove the 1-1/8" hex jam nut from the shaft nearest to the damaged rotor (see Figure 6).
2. Only remove the rotors and spacers as required to reach the damaged component and wipe the shaft clean before each rotor is removed. The rotor bearings have individual cones on each side that separate slightly before seal resistance is felt. It is important to keep the cones pushed tightly together to keep dirt from entering the bearing between the cones.
CAUTION
IF THE ROTOR ASSEMBLIES DO NOT SLIP FREELY OFF THE ROTOR SHAFT DO NOT APPLY
FORCE AGAINST THE ROTORS OR ROTOR TEETH. USE A BLUNT PUNCH OR BAR AGAINST THE
THICK FACE OF THE INSIDE BEARING ADAPTER TO DRIVE THE ROTORS ALONG THE SHAFT.
OTHERWISE THE SEAL IN THE TAPERED ROLLER BEARING WILL BE DESTROYED AND IT IS NOT
REPLACEABLE (SEE FIGURE 7).
11
C. Rotor Disassembly.
1. With a pry bar remove the external seals (see Figure 8) on both sides.
Generally, seals are damaged and are not reused.
2. Remove the internal snap rings on both sides.
3. With the Rotor sitting on the press table press out the bearing assembly.
Figure 7. Disassembly of Rotor Shaft Assembly
II. Reassembly and Installation
(Be careful to keep all components clean to prevent bearing grease contamination)
A. Rotor Hub Re-Assembly.
1. Install internal snap ring in one side of rotor.
2. Press bearing and adapter assembly tight against the ring (see Figure 9).
3. Install second snap ring.
4. Apply a ribbon of general purpose grease between the snap ring ID and bearing adapter OD on both sides of rotor.
Figure 8. Rotor Assembly
5. With the press tool inverted to fit the external seals, press the seals in both ends of the rotor
with the lips out. Wipe off excess grease. Be sure seals are not bent or cut and are seated firmly.
If the seals are not tight, use a hammer and punch to stake the hub faces at about 90
°
intervals.

12
B. Assembly of Rotor Shaft.
CAUTION IF THE BEARING ADAPTERS ARE NOT PRECISELY TIMED 180 DEGREES APART
IN EACH ROTOR AND ALIGNED BETWEEN ROTORS, SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL
RESULT.
1. Rotate the adapters in each rotor so the timing marks
(see Figure 10) are phased 180 degrees apart with hex bores aligned.
2. To assist with aligning timing marks between rotors, use
TIMING MARK FOR PHASING
BEARING ADAPTERS IN THE
ROTOR SHAFT ASSEMBLY chalk or marker to mark two rotor shaft flats 180 degrees apart next to the threaded end. The selected flats would have to align with the timing marks on any rotors not removed during servicing.
Figure 10. Timing Mark
3. Install the required components in the sequence shown in Figure 6, double-checking the timing mark locations and spacer lengths (see following table) as each rotor is installed.
SPACER LENGTH
(inches)
CAUTION
CLEAN THE ROTOR SHAFT THOROUGHLY REMOVING ANY BURRS THAT WOULD KEEP THE ROTOR
ASSEMBLIES FROM SLIDING ON FREELY. IF A BEARING ADAPTER JAMS, THE INTERNAL BEARING
SEAL COULD BE FORCED OUT AND IT IS NOT REPLACEABLE.
NOTE: THE SPACERS MUST BE FULLY SEATED IN EACH ADAPTER COUNTER BORE BEFORE
TIGHTENING. DO NOT FORGET TO PLACE THE BEARING STAMPINGS ON EACH OF THE SHAFT
BEARINGS DURING REASSEMBLY. ALSO, THE 3/8" CARRIAGE BOLTS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE
BEARING STAMPINGS ON THE DRIVE END OF THE SHAFT BEFORE THE SHEAVE IS REPLACED.
4. Replace the 1-1/8" hex jam nut and rotate each rotor occasionally as the nut is being torqued to 350 ftlbs. If any rotor locks up, the bearing adapters in the rotor are probably not phased 180 degrees apart.
D. Installation of Main Shaft Assembly
Reinstall the rotor shaft into main frame by reversing the shaft removal steps outlined in I-A. Refer to Figure
6 for correct location of bearing stampings, bolts, etc. Tighten the 3/8 flange lock nuts at each bearing to 35 ft-lbs.
CAUTION
THE TWO STAMPINGS ON EACH BEARING ARE IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER IN THE
ASSEMBLY. NEVER SEPARATE THE BEARING STAMPINGS TO STRADDLE A FRAME MEMBER.
13
E. After installing the belts and cover, run the machine and check for loose or improperly installed components.

SEEDER MAINTENANCE
(Supplied from Gandy)
• Remove bottom and rotors using snap latches, and wing nuts securing bearing retainers. Clean all surfaces.
• Lightly oil bearings periodically, more often if metering material with fines as powder may work into bearings.
• Some materials may build up on the hopper bottom, especially when atmospheric humidity is high. It may be wise to remove slide from bottom for cleaning. To remove slide, remove the four nuts, nylon washers and slide hanger.
• Re-assemble slide onto hopper after cleaning. For proper slide tension, gently drive the hanger to the left, using a screw driver against the tab at the right end of the hanger. When the end of the hanger lines up with the scribed line on the hopper bottom, slide tension is correct. Bottom is ready for reinstallation.

SEEDER CALIBRATION
CALIBRATION
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT
EACH BATCH OF SEED IS PROPERLY CALIBRATED IN THE SEEDER
PRIOR TO APPLICATION. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
INADEQUATE OR EXCESSIVE SEED RATES. AFTER PROPER
CALIBRATION, IN ADDITION TO USING CONSISTENT SEED, THE
CHOSEN GAUGE SETTING AND GROUND SPEED MUST BE
MAINTAINED TO OBTAIN THE CALIBRATED RATE.
THE SEEDING RATE CHART PROVIDED IS TO SERVE ONLY AS INITIAL SETTING
GUIDE.
Each product flows differently requiring calibration for each product. Variations in formulations, seed size, humidity, temperature and age of product may affect application rates.
The applicator depends on gravity flow of the product particles through precisely adjusted openings at each tube spout. The ground or electric driven rotor assures a constant flow when turning and interrupts the flow when it stops, allowing only the particles in the rotor segment exposed to the openings to flow out.
To close the hopper bottom openings, rotate the shut off lever counter-clockwise until the slide stop contacts the hopper stop. To open the hopper bottom openings, rotate the lever clockwise until the slide gauge cam contacts the hopper stop. The opening increases as the cam is rotated from 0 to 80.
15
Establish the desired application rate based on lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. (Divide lbs. per acre by 43.6 to convert to lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. or refer to conversion chart (Figure 2)).
