3.1 TOW BAR INSTALLATION
Fig. 7
The Turf Tidy is connected to the tractor using the tow bar
The tow bar can be used as both an upwards and downwards tow bar, subject to the position of
the connector on the tractor. (Fig. 7)
4. CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING TURF TIDY
Check procedure before proceeding to connect the Turf Tidy.
 Check the Turf Tidy for visual damage and repair this damage if the safe operation
of the machine is no longer guaranteed.
 Check that all nuts and bolts are properly secured.
 Check that all safety guards and all safety stickers are in place on the machine and
are not damaged.
The machine must NEVER be used without these.
The connection method is as follows: (Fig. 8)
1. Carefully reverse the tractor into a suitable position for connecting the tow bar to the tractor.
!! Ensure that that tractor is properly blocked and cannot move
independently !!
!! Switch the tractor engine off before getting off the tractor !!
2. Connect the Turf Tidy to the tractor by placing the pin in the connector of the tractor through
the tow bar 1 of the Turf Tidy and securing this.
3. Connect the hydraulic hoses 2 to the tractor.
The narrow hose is connected to the head and the wide hose to the collection tray.
4. Position the disconnecting rope 3 from the head to the cabin for safety reasons.
5. Connect the PTO shaft 4 between the Turf Tidy and the tractor. (See section 5.0 for the
correct length of the PTO shaft)
6. Retract the height adjustable leg.
7. Expand or retract the spindles 7 to adjust the upper side of the frame 6 of the Turf Tidy until
it is parallel with the surface.
Disconnecting takes place in reverse order.

Fig.8
5. THE PTO SHAFT
The PTO shaft is a very important part. It provides the drive from the tractor and ensures, if
correctly maintained and installed, safe use of the machine. The PTO shaft has dedicated CE
certification. Read the PTO shaft manual, which can be found on the actual PTO shaft.
5.1 LENGTH OF THE PTO SHAFT
The length of the PTO shaft is very important. The drive on the tractor and/or Turf Tidy can
become damaged if this is too long. The PTO shaft can be damaged if the length of the tube
overlap exceeds 300 mm (12") at any given time.
The length changes when head 8 (see Fig.8) is lifted, when another tractor is
used or when turning sharp corners.
The procedure for correctly adjusting the length of the PTO shaft if newly purchased or if another
tractor is used is as follows: (see Fig.8)
1. Measure the distance between the PTO shaft connector on the tractor and the connector on
the machine, from groove to groove, when the machine is correctly angled on the ground and
is connected to the tractor and head 8 is in the most unfavourable position.

2. Measure the length B of the PTO shaft when in the shortest position from locking pin to locking
bolt.
3. Split the PTO shaft into two parts and remove the safety guards from both ends.
4. Both the ends of the tubes and the safety guards must be shortened. (B-A) + 150 mm (3”).
5. Burr all parts, use a little grease and reassemble all parts.
6. Secure the other end of the PTO shaft to the tractor.
7. Check the tube overlap.
Never use the machine if the PTO shaft safety guard is damaged.
Replace this first!
5.2 USING THE PTO SHAFT
Correct use of the PTO shaft requires checks of the following items:
1. The angle of the centres of rotation may never exceed 30 degrees when operational.
2. The centres of rotation must always be aligned.
3. The minimum tube overlap is 300 mm.
4. Never use the machine if the PTO shaft safety guard is damaged.
5. See maintenance section for lubrication.
6. TRANSPORTING THE TURF TIDY
The user is responsible for transporting the Turf Tidy behind the tractor on public highways. Look
into national legislation for the regulations.
The maximum speed across open fields, with the machine elevated, is 15 km/hour (9.3 mph),
circumstances permitting; driving at higher speeds constitutes a potential hazard for the
driver/bystanders and may even cause damage to the machine. Make sure that during transport
the head of the machine is always locked in the transporting position.
7. WORKING SPEED
The maximum working speed for the Turf Tidy is 5 km/h (3.1 mph), however, the user will have to
determine the correct speed based on the surface to be treated in combination with the desired
working depth. This is directly related to the power output, the higher the output the lower the
forward speed.
The following may occur in the event of excessive power output transfer:
 The V-belts start slipping / burning, which can result in broken V-belts.
 The blades wear more rapidly.
 The brackets for the blades wear more rapidly.
The machine design is robust, therefore overloading is not easily noticed.
However, it is important that the power output requirements are assessed. Take the following into
consideration:
When harrowing:
 What is the working depth? The required power output increases with the depth.
 How hard is the surface? The required power output increases with the hardness.
 What is the working speed? The wear and tear and power output increases with the speed.

15
When sweeping:
 Weight and quantity of material for sweeping? The required power output increases with the
weight.
 What is the working speed? The wear and tear and power output increases with the speed.
When mowing:
 How long is the grass? The required power output increases with the length.
 What is the working speed? The wear and tear and power output increases with the speed.
The following applies in general: the working speed must be lowered as the load increases. See
the specifications in section 1.0 for guidelines.
8. USING THE TURF TIDY
The following checks must be made before proceeding to use the Turf Tidy at a site:
1. Are there any freestanding objects on the field? Remove these first.
2. Are there slopes? This machine is only suitable for use on slopes with a maximum
gradient of 20 degrees.
Always work from the top to the bottom.
3. Are there are any airborne objects in the area, such as balls, which will distract the user
from the task at hand? If so, the Turf Tidy may NOT be used.
4. Is there a slipping or sagging hazard? If yes, postpone the activities until the conditions
improve.
5. If the surface is wet, postpone the activities until conditions improve.
6. Do not make any sharp turns as this may cause damage to the surface.
7. Only tilt the collection tray when on a solid, level surface.
8. Never drive the Turf Tidy when the collection tray is not lowered.
9. During transport: Ensure that the head is facing upwards and is blocked to prevent
sagging.
10. During the use of the Turf Tidy in the working field can be chosen to put the locking pin
in the lower hole. In this situation the head will not directly be locked when lifted.

16
9. WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The machine is fitted with a front roller as standard, but can also be supplied with front wheels
(prod. no. 241.180.008). These enable turning corners with the machine when flail mowing and/or
sweeping.
Therefore, there are 2 ways to adjust the working depth of the machine.
1. By adjusting the front roller.
2. By adjusting the optional front wheels.
Fig. 9
9.1 ADJUSTING WORKING DEPTH USING THE FRONT ROLLER
Proceed as follows to adjust the working depth: (See Fig.6)
!! NEVER CRAWL UNDERNEATH THE MACHINE !!
Switch the tractor off and apply the parking brake.
Ensure that the machine is properly blocked and cannot move independently.
If wind vanes (See fig. 9 item 4) have been fitted, never increase the depth to
ensure that the wind vanes remain above the surface. !! If this is not observed,
the surface and the machine can be seriously damaged!!
!! Adjust the working depth carefully; if the setting is too deep the machine
and the surface can be seriously damaged !!
1. Rotate the spindles 1 on both sides to the desired working depth B and align on both sides.
Use the indicator stickers on the spindles for this.
2. Loosen the bolts 2 on both sides of the machine and adjust the rear roller using nuts 3 until
the distance above the ground A is 10mm (0.4") and align on both sides. Use the
indicator stickers on the spindles for this.
This prevents the grass layer being removed by the head.
3. Secure the nuts 3 and bolts 2 properly.
4. Run a test strip to verify that the correct working depth has been achieved.

Fig. 10
1. Fully lift the head by operating the hydraulic output of the tractor and ensure that it is
properly positioned in the transport securing device 1 and is fully blocked to prevent
sagging.
!! NEVER CRAWL UNDERNEATH THE MACHINE !!
Switch the tractor off and apply the parking brake.
Ensure that the machine is properly blocked and cannot move independently.
If wind vanes (See fig. 9 item 4) have been fitted, never increase the depth to
ensure that the wind vanes remain above the surface.
!! If this is not observed, the surface and the machine can be seriously
damaged!!
!! Adjust the working depth carefully; if the setting is too deep the machine
and the surface can be seriously damaged !!
2. Remove clip 2 and remove the wheels 3 by sliding them downwards.
3. Adjust to the required height by using various combinations of spacing rings.
4. Slide the wheels 3 back into the centre pin 5 and secure using the clip 2.
5. (See Fig.9) Loosen the bolts 2 on both sides of the machine and adjust the rear roller using
nuts 3 until the distance above the ground A is 10mm (0.4") and align on both sides.
Use the indicator stickers on the spindles for this.
This prevents the grass layer being removed by the head.
6. (See Fig.9) Secure the nuts 3 and bolts 2 properly.
7. Run a test strip to verify that the correct working depth has been achieved.

18
9.3 Weight compensation
If there are small radius bends to be made with the machine, while working, the weight of the head
must be reduced. If not, the head could be pushed to the side and can cause damage to the head
and the lifting mechanism.
Adjust the spring load 2 (Fig. 10b) by inserting bolt 1 through the correct chain shackle. Fine tuning
of the weight compensation can be done by inserting the pin in another hole on the frame (always
adjust both springs the same amount). When the spring load increases (sharper) turns are
possible.
The spring load 2 can be changed only when the aerator / mower is raised sufficiently so that the
spring is not under full tension.
Fig 10b.
