This Symbol means: ATTENTION! TAKE NOTICE!
Your aenon is needed to ensure your safety and
the safety of those around you. This symbol is fol-
lowed by a signal word describing the level of hazard. Through-
out this manual and on all equipment you will see these safety
labels.
Signal word definitions:
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situaon which, if
not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potenally hazardous situaon which, if
not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potenally hazardous situaon which, if
not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe pracces or property dam-
age.

Maintenance
Turn the unit o and remove key. Disconnect the negave
baery cable and remove spark plug before performing any
maintenance.
Hydraulic System
• Hydraulic uid level should be checked daily.
Hydraulic Fluid Level Check Procedures:
1. Place unit on level ground. Locate the site glass on the hy-
draulic tank. (See gure 1)
2. Oil level should be half way up the glass. If not, please refer
to the hydraulic uid change procedure for adding addion-
al oil to the system.
• We recommend you change the hydraulic uid and lter
aer the rst 50 hours of use and then whichever comes
rst at least once/year or every 200-250 hours of use.

Hydraulic Fluid and Filter
Change Procedures:
1. Remove thigh pad.
2. Clamp the return line above the lter with a pair of smooth
tooth locking pliers. (See gure 2)
3. Remove the hydro lter.
4. Remove the locking pliers and catch the oil in a 13+ quart con-
tainer and properly recycle or dispose of according to your
local laws.
5. Remove the ll cap. (See gure 3)
6. Install a new hydro lter (Snger P/N: 40-1807 or 40-4017 for
Gen 3 QA3600). Rub a small amount of new oil on the O-ring
of the new lter prior to installing.
7. Add synthec 15W-50 (QA3000 - up to 6 qts / QA3600 - up to
12 qts) and reinstall ll cap. (Note: may take less if unit was
not completely evacuated) Watch the site glass when lling
and do NOT overll.
8. Start the engine at a low RPM and make slow, small, and cal-
culated moves with the control levers as the hydro system
pressurizes. Cycle nes up and down. Check uid level again!
9. Reinstall thigh pad.
Use cauon as steering and speed can
be errac unl the hydro system is fully pressurized.

6
Belt
Inspect the engine belt every 200 hours for signs of wear.
Main Belt and Auxiliary Belt Replacement Procedure:
1. Loosen the idler pulley bolt to release belt pressure. The
ming belt has a secondary bolt that needs to be loosened
to allow the tension arm to swing freely.
2. Take note of the belt orientaon and pathway before re-
moving and discarding the old belt. (See gure 4)
3. Replace with new belt as needed.
4. Apply tension with the idler pulley and ghten bolt. The m-
ing belt tension arm has a locaon for a ½” drive breaker bar
to be installed. Pull the breaker bar with 20 -lb of force
and ghten bolts. Remove the breaker bar.
Figure 4
Engine
• Run unleaded gasoline with an octane rang of 86 or higher
and 10% or less ethanol.
• Check engine oil level on level ground daily.
• Change engine uid and lter aer the rst 50 hours of use
and then every 100 hours of use.
• Refer to the engine manufacturer owner’s manual for the spe-
cic oil type that is recommended.
• Clean/replace the air lter per engine manufacturer owner’s
manual.
• See supplemental engine manufacturer booklet for addional
maintenance procedures and requirements.

Tracking Adjustment
Forward Adjustment:
1. Slide the rod end clip up (gure 5) and gently pull rod away
from the hydrostac motor.
2. Turn the rod end clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to
decrease speed on that side.
Reverse Speed Limiter:
1. Loosen bolt (See gure 6) and slide stop forward to decrease
or backwards to increase reverse travel speed.
2. Reghten bolt.

Unit Operaon
Starng and Stopping the Engine
1. Pull the choke knob up to apply the choke. Used typically
when the engine is cold. (See gure 7) If equipped with EFI,
skip this step.
2. Turn the ignion key to posion II unl the engine starts and
then release the key. (See gure 7)
3. Turn o the choke by pushing the choke knob down. If
equipped with EFI, skip this step.
4. Allow the unit to warm up and slide the throle forward to
the desired RPM. 3600 MAX RPM! You can use a lower RPM
to slow the unit.

Tines
The ne posion switch (see gure 8) allows for 2 dierent oper-
ang styles and the ability to lock the nes in the UP posion for
transport. In the UP posion the ne assembly will remain up un-
less the foot pedal is depressed. In TRANSPORT mode, the foot
switch is deacvated and the nes will remain up. In the DOWN
posion, the nes will remain in the ground unl the foot pedal is
depressed. Tradionally, having the nes default in the UP posi-
on is most common. Using the default DOWN posion can be
advantageous for users that typically do larger properes.
Tine Depth
Tine depth is determined by the amount of down pressure. For deeper
cores, turn the pressure up using the regulator shown in gure 9. Lower
pressures will result in shallower cores. Tine pressure should be adjusted
according to soil condions. Never increase pressure to the point that
the rear res are o of the ground. This can lead to unsafe operaon and
could cause bodily harm.

Unit Operaon
1. Put the operator plaorm down! Step on the plaorm care-
ful not to hit the foot switch. DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITH
THE PLATFORM IN THE UP LOCKED POSITION! Serious bodily
harm can occur.
2. Release the parking brake as shown in gure 10. Tire dam-
age can occur if the parking brake is not released.
3. Push both steering controls forward to move the unit for-
ward. The more pressure applied, the greater the speed.
4. Pulling back on both steering controls will put the unit in
reverse.
5. Reduce the speed of the le or right steering control while
moving forward or backward to turn le or right.
6. Always set parking brake before stepping o of or turning
o the unit.

Usage
1. Lower the aeraon nes into the ground by holding the
foot pedal down (gure 11) or switching the 3-way ne
posion switch to the DOWN posion.
2. Lock the nes in the up posion by switching the 3-way
ne posion switch to TRANSPORT.
3. Tines can remain in the ground when making wide gentle
turns. For sharper turns and 180’s, the nes must be lied
prior to turning. Raising the nes will prevent turf damage.
4. Always li nes prior to transporng and crossing over con-
crete, tree roots, and other hard surfaces.
Always consider what might be below the turf prior to aer-
ang. Does the property have unground ulies, invisible dog
fence, low voltage lighng, irrigaon, etc.?
Calling 811 or a private locate services is strongly recommended
and maybe the law. Take appropriate acons to prevent damages

Usage
1. Remove the ignion key.
2. Fill the hopper with seed and fasten lid down.
3. Replace the key and turn on.
4. Ulize the seed chart to determine seed gate seng for

7. Note: the seed chart is a baseline reference point. Variaons
in seed blends, operator styles, and humidity need to be
accounted for in the seed ow seng.

3. Check relay under the ignion key. The relay should
click when the foot pedal is depressed.
4. Check both fuses by the engine.
5. Replace the footswitch or the UP/TRANSPORT/
DOWN switch.
Tines bending or breaking
1. Some nes breaking are common in the ordinary
course of operaon.
2. Eliminate ght turns with the nes in the ground.

15

seed gate.
2. With the unit o, inspect the seed gate for damage or
debris.
3. Unbolt the actuator from the seed gate. Manually
move the seed gate le and right to ensure proper
operaon.
4. With the actuator unbolted, turn the seedbox on and
check the actuator for proper operaon.
Board is blank
1. Check both of the fuses by the engine.
2. Check the relay by the engine.
