2.0 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
EASY CORE 104
Fig.7
1. UNFOLD the upper handle (A, Fig.7) and slide handle lock loops (B, Figure X) into
place to secure the upper handle to the lower.
2. ATTACH the tine lift cable (C, Fig.7) to the tine lever (D, Fig.7) in the center of the
handle by inserting the pin into it. Then attach the bail cable (E, Fig.7) to the bail (F,
Fig.7). Check to make sure the cables are functioning properly before operation and
not binding.
3. CHECK engine oil level and fll to proper level. Also check oil in gear reduction
reservoir and fll if necessary. See engine owner’s manual for type and amount of oil
to use.
4. CONNECT spark plug wire. Set the engine stop switch (G, Fig.7) to the ON position.

EASY CORE 108
NOTE: Items in ( ) can be referenced in the Parts Illustration and Parts List
1. REMOVE the two bolts and nuts from the hardware bag (item 4 and 38).
2. ATTACH the upper handle (item 73) into the side braces with the hardware (items 4
and 38). NOTE: The bail should be facing downward.
3. ATTACH the tine lift cable (item 16) to the Tine lever (item 30) upper hole on the
handle by inserting the pin (item 40) into it in the hole closest to the end of the handle.
Retain with pin (item 55).
4. ATTACH the bail cable (item 54) to the bracket on the handle (item 74) by
sandwiching the two nuts on the bracket and tightening. Install cable adjuster (item 52)
by threading it on the end of the cable until thread begins to show. NOTE: Protruding
portion of the threaded adjuster must be facing the operator when installed. Check to
make sure the cables are functioning properly before operation and not binding. If
adjustments are needed for belt tension on the bail cable, loosen the nuts and move
the sandwiching position up or down for the desired tension. NOTE: if the tension is
too loose the tines will not engage and if it is too tight premature wear could happen
to the belt.
5. CHECK engine oil level and fill to proper level. Also check oil in gear reduction
reservoir and fill if necessary. See engine owner’s manual for type and amount of oil
to use.
6. SET the engine stop switch, located on upper handle, to the ON position.

Lower handle: The lower handle (2) operates the idler for the drive V-belts. Pull the handle
up to switch on. The handle should be kept pulled up to operate the machine. If it is released,
the forward motion will stop. If the handle does not shoot back, when released, please
contact the manufacturer or the dealer to remedy this, since it is very important for your
safety.
Central handle: The central handle (1) ensures that the aeration mechanism of the Easy
Core is moved forward into operating position. Move the handle forward. The aeration
mechanism will automatically place itself in the correct position.
Aerating: Pull the lower handle (2) up and keep it tight. Then move the central handle (1)
forward and let the aeration mechanism move itself into the operating position. Do not push
the machine as soon as it starts operating; due to the movement of the pins it will start to
drive forwards.
With the Easy Core 208, the right handle (4) ensures that the drive for the V-belts is switched
on. During aeration, the machine is moved forwards hydraulically by operating the left handle
(3). To stop the aeration, you release both handles (3 & 4).
Stop: Release the lower handle, to stop. It will automatically shoot back and switch off the
idler. Pull back the central handle to pull the aeration mechanism out of the soil. Switch off
the engine, if the machine is not be used any more.
Removing the cover: To remove the cover, the rubber closures must be disconnected. To
mount the cover again, you should follow the same procedure in the reverse order.
Use under cold conditions: Switch the aeration mechanism to the “upward” position for at
least two minutes, to warm the grease.

GENERAL REMARKS ON MAINTENANCE
Tightening the V-belts: Tighten the V-belts by using the adjustment holes inside the rotating
handle of the coupling. It should only be necessary to move it to the next hole. Do not over
tighten the belts. This could result in a too great a load on the engine's spindle bearings. The
V-belts are sufficiently tight when they do not slip during the operating cycle.
Tightening the chain (Easy Core 116 only): Tighten the chain tension by using the holes
inside the engine plate. Do not over tighten the chain. This could result in a too great a load
on the engine's gearbox bearings. The chain is tight enough if it is not slack during the
operating cycle.
Pins: These are adjustable, but the maximum adjustment course is the thickness of the
adjustment nut, around 6.5 mm (1/4”). The openings of the pins must always be pointed to
the rear of the machine. The pins can be replaced by loosening the adjustment nut and
subsequently loosening the pin. Now mount the new pin with the adjustment nut. Mount the
pin, by as many thread windings as possible, into the pin holder. Now tighten the adjustment
nut against the pin holder.
For the maintenance of the engine, see the supplied manual of the engine.
