1.0. Safety
Recognize safety information
This is the safety alert
symbol. When you see this
symbol on your machine or in
this manual, be aware of the
potential for personal injury.
Follow recommended precautions
and safe operating practices.
Follow safety instructions
Carefully read all safety
messages in this manual and
warning signs on your machine.
Keep warning signs in good
condition. Replace missing or
damaged warning signs. Make
sure that new equipment,
components and replacement
parts include the current
warning signs. Replacement
warning signs are available
from your dealer.
Learn how to operate the
machine and use the controls
properly. Do not let anyone
operate without instruction.
Keep your machine in proper
working condition. Unauthorized
modifications to the machine
may impair the function and/or
safety and affect machine life.
If you do not understand any
part of this manual and need
assistance, contact your
dealer.

All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest information
available at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice. 7
1.0. Safety
Observe road traffic regulations
Always observe local road traffic
regulations when using public
roads.
Wear protective clothing
Wear close fitting clothing and
personal protective equipment
appropriate to the job.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise
can cause impairment or loss of
hearing.
Wear a suitable hearing
protective device such as
earplugs to protect against
objectionable or uncomfortably
loud noises.
Operating equipment safely
requires the full attention of
the operator.
Do not wear radio or music
headphones while operating the
machine.
Stay clear of rotating drive shafts
Entanglement in a rotating
drive shaft may cause serious
injury or death.
Keep all drive shaft guards in
place at all times. Make sure
rotating shields can turn
freely. Wear close-fitting
clothing. Stop the engine and
make sure PTO shaft is stopped
before making adjustments,
connections, or cleaning out
PTO-driven equipment.

All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest information
available at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

1.0. Safety
Guard and shields
Keep guards and shields in
place all the times. Ensure
that they are in good condition
and installed correctly.
Always disengage the drive
components, turn off engine and
remove key before removing any
guards or shields.
Keep hands, feet and clothing
away from moving parts.
Avoid high-pressure fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving
pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic or other lines.
Tighten all connections before
applying pressure.
Hydraulic oil escaping from a
small leak is virtually
invisible, therefore search for
leaks with a piece of
cardboard. Protect hands and
body from high pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a
doctor immediately. Any fluid
injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene may result.
Doctors unfamiliar with this
type of injury should check a
reliable medical reference.

All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest information
available at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice. 9
1.0. Safety
Use safety lights and devices
Avoid collisions with other
road users. Slow moving
tractors with attachments or
towed equipment and self-
propelled machines are a
particular hazard on public
roads. Frequently check for
traffic from the rear,
especially in turns, Use hand
signals or turn signal lights
for safe operation in traffic.
Use headlights, flashing
warning lights, and turn
signals day and night. Follow
local regulations for equipment
lighting and marking. Keep
lighting and marking visible
and in good working order.
Replace or repair lighting and
marking that has been damaged
or lost. An implement safety
lighting kit is available from
your dealer.
Avoid heating near pressurized fluid lines
Flammable spray can be
generated by heating near
pressurized fluid lines,
resulting in severe burns to
yourself and bystanders. Do not
heat by welding, soldering, or
use a welding torch near
pressurized fluid lines or
other flammable materials.
Pressurized lines can be
accidentally cut if heat goes
beyond the immediate flame
area.

All information, illustrations and specifications in this manual are based on the latest information
available at the time of publication. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

1.0. Safety
Remove paint before welding or heating
Welding must be conducted only
by persons with appropriate
qualifications.

and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be
generated when paint is heated
by welding, soldering, or using
a torch.
Do all work outside or in a
well ventilated area. Dispose
of paint and solvent properly.
Remove paint before welding or
heating:
•If you sand paint, avoid
breathing the dust. Wear an
approved respirator.
•If you use solvent or paint
stripper, clean with soap and
water before welding. Remove
solvent or paint stripper
containers and other
flammable material from area.
Allow fumes to disperse at
least 15 minutes before
welding or heating.

2.0. Construction and Method of Operation
2.1. Construction
GREENS TERRA SPIKE consists of
the following parts:
•Welded machine body
•Drive
•Adjustable tools
Three gear speeds can be selected
on GREENS TERRA SPIKE.
2.2. Method of Operation
GREENS TERRA SPIKE is hauled by
the tractor and driven by means
of a PTO shaft.
A gear unit inside GREENS TERRA
SPIKE provides for movement of
the tines.
The moving tines are plunged
into the soil.
The angle of entry is adjustable.
With an angle of entry of 90° at
low speed the punched holes are
almost vertical.
With a smaller entry angle
the tines are sluiced in the soil
due to the forward movement.
This breaks up the soil.
The smaller the entry angle,
the more the soil is broken up
(effective down to 70°).
2.3. Product warranty
We are bound by law to warranty
our products starting with
the delivery.
This serves your safety.
Please immediately inform
us about:
•Defects of the safety devices.
•Repeated malfunctions.
•Altered setting.
•Problems in handling the
GREENS TERRA SPIKE.
