2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Verti-Drain®is a machine for aerating fields of grass and sports fields.
The Verti-Drain®is a three-point machine which requires a tractor or Verti-Power in order to
utilize the Verti-Drain®.
3.0 FIRST INSTALLATION, REMOVING THE MACHINE FROM
THE PALLET
4
3

5
1
2
Fig. 8
The machine is positioned vertically on the pallet. To remove the pallet and position the
machine horizontally on the floor, act as follows (see fig. 8):
1. Remove the PTO, PTO protective covers and tines from the machine.
2. Disassemble the support legs (1) and position them so the Verti-Drain®can be
placed on the legs.
3. Attach a cable underneath the top link strips (2) so the machine can be lifted.
Ensure that the cable/crane/hoist has a minimal load lifting capacity of 2000
kg (4410 lbs).
4. Lift the machine together with the pallet 50 mm (2”) off the ground.

11
Do not crawl underneath the machine!!
5. Remove the pallet (3).
6. Slowly lower the machine until the support legs (1) touch the ground.
7. Slowly continue to lower the machine so it is positioned on all four support legs.
8. Assemble the added PTO-Cover 2.
9. Couple the machine to a tractor.
Use a suitable tractor; see specifications.
10. Lift the machine off the ground.
11. Reassemble the support legs (1) up into transportation position or remove them.
12. Place the machine with the frontroller on the ground at the required working depth
and adjust the angle of the machine to 90 degrees by turning the top link (4).
This 90 degree angle is very important for the correct operation of the machine.
13. Set the stabilizer of the tractor to 100 mm lateral movement.
14. Assemble the tines. Use a little grease on the post.
15. Determine the length of the PTO (5) and assemble it, see chapter 4.1.
16. When machine is taken of the pallet, remove the upper plug of the gearbox and
replace it with the supplied breather.
4.0 THE PTO
The PTO is a very important component. It provides the transmission from the tractor and, if
correctly maintained and installed, will ensure a safe utilisation of the machine. The PTO has
its own CE certification. Read the PTO manual; it is located on the PTO itself.
Fig. 9
4.1 LENGTH OF THE PTO
The length of the PTO is very important. When it is too long, the transmission of the tractor
and /or the Verti-Drain®can become damaged. When, at any given moment, the overlapping
length of the tubes becomes less than 150 mm (6”) the PTO can become damaged.
The length changes when the machine is lifted or when a different tractor is used.

12
To bring the PTO to the correct length, whenever a new one is acquired or when using a
different tractor, work as follows: (see Fig.9)
1. Measure the distance between the PTO connection of the tractor and that of the Verti-
Drain®, from groove to groove, when the machine is positioned at the right angle on the
ground and is coupled to the tractor.
2. Measure distance B of the PTO in its shortest position from the locking pin to the locking
bolt.
3. Split the PTO in two parts and remove the protective cover on both ends.
4. Both the ends of the tubes and the protective covers have to be shortened: (B-A) + 75
mm (3”).
5. Remove the edge trims from all components, apply some grease and assemble all parts.
6. Install the PTO on the Verti-Drain®side.
7. Couple the other end of the PTO to the tractor.
8. Check the overlap of the tubes.
Never use the machine with a damaged PTO protective cover.
Replace it first.
4.2 USING THE PTO
In order to correctly use the PTO, the following items need to be checked first:
1. During operation, the angle of the pivot points must never exceed 30 degrees.
2. The pivot points must always be in line.
3. The overlap of the tubes must always be at least 150 mm.
4. Never use the machine with a damaged PTO safety cover.
5. For lubrication, see par. 13.0: Maintenance.

Fig. 10
5.0 WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The working depth can be adjusted if the machine is raised (before start of
operation) or during processing of the ground when the machine is operating.
To adjust working depth (see fig. 10):
1. First turn the nuts (1) of the front roll loose one turn.
2. Adjust the roll to the desired working depth by turning the spindle nuts (2).
3. Retighten the nuts (1) of the front roll again.
The working depth adjustment on the stickers is only applicable when tines with a
length of 150 mm (6”) are being used. When shorter tines are used, subtract the
length difference with regard to the 150 mm (6”) from the value on the stickers.
6.0 TINE (INSERTION) ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
All tines can be adjusted at the same time in order to increase or decrease the tine angle.
To adjust the tine angle (see fig. 10):
1. Loosen the nuts (3) of the corner adjustment one turn.
2. Use the handle (4) to position the pins in the desired tine angle.
3. Retighten the nuts (3) of the corner adjustment again.
A 90 degree angle means hardly any insertion. This is required for hollow tines and is
advised for the 8 mm (5/16”) tines.
From 90 to 70 degrees means increased insertion. This is advised for solid tines and
depends on the soil condition, the tine size and the customer’s wishes.
At 90 degrees the tines only go dead straight into the ground if the machine is
correctly installed, see fig. 8. If this is not done correctly a force F, see fig. 10, may
result, which damages the machine.
The length of the compound connecting rod (5) must be 365 mm (14.4”),
which can be calibrated by using shims (6).

14
7.0 DRIVING SPEED
The pitch in the driving direction depends on the driving speed. When a small pitch is
desired, the driving speed must be sufficiently low, which depends on the tractor or the Verti-
Power.
The rpm input of the PTO may not exceed 540 rpm.
If hard objects are expected, this speed must be lowered.
With heavier tines, other applications or with the maximum tine angle, the tine holders may
start floating. Lower the rpm as well in that case, before the tine holders slam upwards.
If the Verti-Drain®is not correctly mounted behind the tractor, see fig.8, different PTO
angles can cause vibrations in the messenger bar of the machine. These vibrations
can damage both the machine and the holes in the ground.
If the PTO is shortened incorrectly, or when another tractor is used, the gear casing
can be overloaded, resulting in damage.

15
8.0 START/STOP PROCEDURE
Fig. 11
The start procedure is VERY important. If this procedure is not executed as described below,
serious damage to the machine can result. The start procedure is as follows, see fig. 11.
1. Drive to the location where operations will take place.
2. Lower the machine, until the lowest tines almost touch the ground.
3. Switch the tractor engine to a low rpm.
4. Switch the tractor into the correct gear and drive forward carefully (A).
5. Engage the PTO (B).
6. Lower the machine DURING driving forward, CAREFULLY TURNING into the ground (C).
7. Raise the PTO rpm to the maximum allowed value.
Stopping is done as follows:
1. Lower the engine rpm.
2. Lift the machine out of the soil.
3. Decouple the PTO, as soon as the tines are out of the soil.
4. Raise the machine up further, until the tines are at least 120 mm free from the
soil.
5. Go to the next location and start again as described.
It is absolutely essential to proceed according to the procedures described above. If
the machine is first lowered into the ground, without a revolving PTO, serious damage
could be done to the machine.
One needs to lower the machine CAREFULLY.
Be careful when reversing.
During the proceedings, the front roller should be stable while resting on the ground. If the
machine becomes unstable, the other tines need to be disassembled, or the working depth
needs to be adjusted.
The machine will become damaged if the instability is not fixed. The machine is NOT
protected against this kind of continuous overload.
Do NOT EVER reverse with the tines in or close to the soil.
Do not use a hydraulic top bar.

16
9.0 USING THE VERTI-DRAIN®
Before the Verti-Drain®is used at a location, the following needs to be checked:
1. Are there any loose objects present in the field? Remove them first.
2. Are there slopes? The maximum inclination allowed to work on with this machine is 20
degrees.
Always work from top to bottom.
3. Are there cables/pipes located in the ground? If so, determine the depth of these and
adjust the working depth of the machine to 60% of this depth.
4. Are there any hard objects in the ground? If so, use the Verti-Drain®at a low PTO speed
and adjust the working depth.
5. Is there any danger of airborne objects like golf balls, which might divert the attention of
the driver? If so, the Verti-Drain®should NOT be used.
6. Is there any danger of sagging, sliding? If so, postpone using the Verti-Drain®.
7. If the soil is frozen or very wet, postpone any activities until the conditions have
improved.
8. If the ground is very compacted, use shorter tines or adjust the working depth.
10.0 TRANSPORTING THE VERTI-DRAIN®
The user is responsible for the transportation of the Verti-Drain®behind the tractor via public
roads. Please check the national legislation with regard to applicable regulations. Due to the
weight of the Verti-Drain®, a maximum speed of 12 km/hr (8 mph) may be driven on open
fields. A higher speed may be dangerous to the driver/bystanders and could even damage
the machine.
For transportation in combination with the Carrier, see the manual of the Carrier.
When the machine is lifted off the ground, at least 20% of the weight of
the tractor should be resting on the front axle.

17
11.0 UNCOUPLING THE VERTI-DRAIN®
Fig. 12
To uncouple the Verti-Drain®from the tractor, use the following procedure:
1. Open the rear cover.
2. Turn the crankshaft until all tine holders are in the highest position possible.
3. Assemble legs so the Verti-Drain®will rest on the legs when the machine is lowered
further (see fig. 12).
4. Next place the machine, in the highest position, on a stable surface.
5. Remove the top bar.
6. Undo the PTO at the tractor’s end.
7. Remove the support brackets of the tractor from the Verti-Drain®.
Turn off the tractor engine when walking around the machine and block the tractor
from moving!
When storing the machine for a longer period of time, it is advisable NOT to fold
up the tines for the sake of the durability of the shock absorber springs.
