SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS .
1. Always use the TURF TIDY with the correct tractor as described in the
technical information
2. The user is responsible for a safe Tractor/TURF TIDY combination. The
combination must be tested for noise, safety, risk and easy usage. It is also
necessary to draw up user instructions.
3. Every TURF TIDY user must be fully informed of the information
contained in the user manual.
4. Inspect the ground where the TURF TIDY is to be applied. Remove loose
obstacles, avoid uneven ground.
5. Never step off the tractor if the engine is still running.
6. Ensure that other people are standing at least 4 mtr. (14' ) away from the
TURF TIDY.
7. Use appropriate clothing. Wear strong shoes with a steel inforced toe cap,
long trousers, tie up long hair. Do not have any loose pieces of clothing.
8. Never try to force the TURF TIDY, a situation which is visible in the
unstable behavior of the TURF TIDY.
9. Check the TURF TIDY once a week to ensure there are no loose screws or
nuts and bolts.
10. The TURF TIDY may never be used without protection covers and safety
stickers.
11. NEVER crawl underneath the TURF TIDY.
12. Always switch off the engine and uncouple the power take off, before
starting any maintenance, adjustment or repair. Also block the TURF TIDY
against sinking and block it against forward/backward movement or sliding.
13. Use only the original TURF TIDY spare parts in order to ensure the safe
operation of the machine.
14. Never use the TURF TIDY in the dark, in heavy rain, on frozen ground,
stormy conditions or on slopes greater than 20 degrees.
15. Before operating the machine, also read the instructions and the
maintenance information for the power take off. This component has its
own certification mark.
16. Maintain a log book of repairs.
17. If any modifications are carried out on the machine the CE certification
mark will be no longer valid. The User/Dealer himself must then have the
machine re-certified.

2.0 FIRST SETUP, LIFTING MACHINE FROM PALLET .
The machine stands vertically up on the pallet. To remove the pallet and place the machine
horizontal on the ground, handle as follows (see fig.1)
Plac
e the machine with pallet on a hard leveled floor 11, fig 1.
1. Remove all separate packed components 12 –19 etc. from the pallet, the head and (inside)
the hopper.
2. Connect a cable or chain with a length of 2800 mm ( 112”) and a load capacity of 4000 Kg (
9000 lbs) with two well rated D shackles around the pivot shafts of the hopper 2, fig.1.
3. Connect the cable to a hoisting crane 1, fig.1., with a lift capacity of minimum 1750 Kg
(4000 lbs). A fork lift truck may be used as well, if the fork length and lift capacity do
match. Enter from side 11, fig.1., when using a lift truck.
•Ensure the fork lift capacity is enough at the lift point.
•Ensure that the string is securely tightened.
4. Carefully raise the machine with pallet attached.
•No bystanders allowed within a distance of 5 mtr (20’).
5. When the machine starts to tip at the pallet end, slowly and gently start dropping the
machine.
•Ensure the crane/ lift point can move with the machine when the machine tips. The
string should stay secured all the time.
6. Gently lower the machine, that tips around the pallet, till it is close to the ground.
7. Assemble both rear wheels 13, shafts 14, castor supports 12 and connector beam 15 .
8. Drop the Turf Tidy gently with the wheels on the ground.

7
9. Block the wheels from moving. Disconnect the cable.
10. Connect the cable at the pallet side of the Turf Tidy and raise the machine.
•Be sure the unit is well secured, so it doesn’t move when lifting
•The cable should be well secured to the chassis of the machine and lifting device.
11. Raise the Turf Tidy and remove the pallet by disassembling the fixing points 8.
12. Put the jack stand 16 on the Turf Tidy.
13. Lower the machine till it stands on the jack.
14. Next the machine can be prepared for the tractor, see chapter 2.1.
PS. If you are not sure how to assemble the parts, please study the spare part pages at
the end of this manual for a full understanding.
3.0 PREPARING THE TURF TIDY.
3.1 THE PULLED VERSION.
Both models are standard delivered as pulled versions.
Remove all straps that hold the machine together.
Start assembling the several items:
-Top cover and door of hopper. They are reversed (4 in Fig.1.) and bolted (5) on the
hopper. Remove them completely. Mount the smallest front one first. Add the pivots.
Mount the door to the pivots only. Align the cover and door before finally tightening
all bolts and nuts. Check whether the door pivots well.
-Add the PTO cover to the gearbox.
-The rear roller may need assembly
-The front roller with the two jacks has to be mounted to the head.
The Turf Tidy draw bar 1 can be fitted in two position, see Fig.2 and 3. This allows the
machine to cope with an upper and bottom tractor hook up point.
The draw bar plate 8 can be bolted on in four positions. Since it is bent, it can be set at two
different positions ( 8 and 9), above and under the main draw bar box section. Choose the
position at which the draw bar plate aligns the best with the tractor hook up. Tighten all bolts
carefully.

8
Connect the Turf-Tidy to the tractor.
With turnbuckles 10 we can adjust the machine height to the ground. The size A should be
805 mm (32”). When correctly adjusted, we will use the maximum stroke of the head.
For PTO information, see Chapter 5.
Next the hydraulic hose should be connected to a (single) acting outlet of the tractor. Use a
correct quick connector 3.
* A flow reducer is built in right after the quick connector. That may never be taken
out, since the drop speed of the head and hopper would become unsafe high and
damage may appear.
Standard the Turf Tidy is equipped with an electrically operated switch valve 11. This valve
will switch the single input from the head to the hopper, when activated.
When 12 Volt DC is applied to the solenoid, the valve switches. It may take up to 12 Amp.
An electrical switch 7 is standard built into the cable. The connector 4 is not standard
delivered all the times, as we have many different systems.
However we advise to connect one of the wires e.g. 5 to the mass and the other one 6 to the
Brake Light connector point at the tractor ( used for trailers lightening). So when we use the
brake, the switch valve switches, when switch 7 is on.
* This means that when we tip the hopper, the tractor driver has to put the brake on,
which is what we want during emptying the hopper.
In case such a brake light connection point is not available, a continuous 12Volt point may be
connected to the wire 6. (5 has to be on the mass). By using the switch 7, the driver can swap
between the two hydraulic systems.
•Be sure a fuse is built in the 12 Volt supply point.
•Guide the hydraulic hose and electric cable nicely, so they aren’t caught.
@ If the wire is too short, it may be extended, so it can be positioned at the correct place for
the driver.
@ It doesn’t make a different which wire is 12 Volt and which one is connected to the mass.

3.2 THE SHORT- COUPLED- VERSION.
The model 1310 can be used as a short coupled version as well, which means that the
machine is connected to the two bottom arms 12 of the tractor’s 3-point linkage, see Fig.4.
Read Chapter 3.1. carefully as well, regarding all comments and notes for the hydraulics and
electrical connections.
Our short coupled version works different than other comparable machines on the market.
The 3-point linkage has to be set at a certain height which should be kept all the time. It
needs to be set at a height till A= 805 mm ( 32”). The head is raised and lowered as with the
pulled version. The great advantage of this system is that no matter how full the hopper is
loaded, the weight on the head stays always the same, since the hopper weight is carried by
the 3-point linkage.
At the moment the machine is transformed to a short-coupled-version, the connecting beam
13 between the rear wheel castor supports 14 has to be removed. This enables the rear wheels
to turn when the machine swings.
•When the machine is rebuilt to a pulled version, the connecting beam 13 has to be
mounted right away.
•Be careful driving the short coupled version. Turning the tractor means that the
machines swings away.
•Be carefull with overloading the main chassis of the Turf-Tidy when short coupled.
•Block the side movement of the bottom arms of the 3-point linkage.
•Do not use the 1710 as a short-coupled-version.
•The maximum transport speed is to be reduced to 20 km/h (14 mph).
@ See the part pages for information on the part number of the kit.
