5.1 SET UP UTILITY TRACTOR

1. Install and secure a 2” (51mm) tow hitch ball to the

standard tractor drawbar. BE SURE the ball hitch is

a class 2 (3500 lb. capacity) or better ball.

CAUTION

Use ONLY the standard drawbar approved by

the tractor manufacturer. The height from the

ground to the top of the drawbar must be 13 to

19.7 inches (330–500 mm).

NOTE: If raising the hydraulic lever lowers the aerator,

the hydraulic lines are reversed. Reverse the

hydraulic lines at the quick couplers.

2. The GA 60PT can produce a maximum hole spacing

of 5” (125 mm). Hole spacings greater than 5” (125

mm) will SEVERELY DAMAGE the aerator

mechanism.

NOTE: The tractor speed MUST BE kept below 2 mph

(3.2 km/hr) and maintain a constant PTO speed of

540 RPM when aerating. BE SURE to use an

engine speed and transmission gear that will result

in a hole spacing of less than 5” (127 mm). Aerating

speeds exceeding the allowable 2 mph (3.2 km/hr)

will SEVERELY DAMAGE the aerator mechanism

components.

5.2 REMOVING FROM PALLET

1. Carefully cut and remove all banding securing

aerator, tongue, and drive line to shipping pallet.

2. Locate and secure the six (6) 1/2–13 x 1 1/2” screws

(Part No. 311401), lockwashers (Part No. 120166),

and nuts (Part No. 800544) located in a cloth bag in

the tool box.

3. Using hardware, install and secure the aerator hitch

assembly to the main frame.

4. Using the jack attached to the GA 60PT, raise the GA

60PT high enough to make sure the tongue clears

the ball hitch on the tractors drawbar.

NOTE: Blocks may be needed to properly support the

jack when raising the GA 60PT.

5. Back the tractor up to the GA 60PT. Position the

tractor so the GA 60PT tongue may be lowered onto

the ball hitch.

6. Slowly lower the tongue onto the ball hitch. Tighten

ball grip to ball hitch by turning the square nut on

hitch coupler clockwise until tight.

7. Lock the hydraulic lift control on the tractor in the float

position to relieve hydraulic pressure. This will allow

the hydraulic hoses to be connected more easily.

NOTE: After connecting the hydraulic hoses, BE SURE

to release the hydraulic lift control from the float

position.

8. Raise the aerator heads as high as possible to allow

GA 60PT to be removed from pallet.

NOTE: Place various thickness boards or blocks in front

of the pallet to create a ramp inorder to help prevent

the GA 60PT from dropping to the ground from

pallet during removal.

BE SURE aerator heads are raised to their

maximum height to assure the turf guards do not

catch on pallet.

WARNING

DO NOT allow anyone to stand directly behind

pallet during removal of the GA 60PT.

The weight of the unit may cause the pallet to

slide back quickly when the GA 60PT is

removed.

9. Slowly drive the tractor forward to remove GA 60PT

from pallet.

10. Install and secure the drive line to the GA 60PT.

SET UP 5

5.3 INSTALLING TINES

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to install tines with the tractor

engine running. Remove key from tractor to

insure the engine will not be started during

tine installation.

Set parking brake on tractor.

Before installing tines or performing any work

under the GA 60PT, always lock the uplatch bar

in place to prevent the accidental lowering of

the aeration heads or the lowering of the heads

due to a loss in hydraulic pressure.

To lock uplatch bar, remove the pin under the

rear of the bar and move it to the upper hole,

making sure the pin passes through the

uplatch bar to lock it in place. Refer to figures

2 and 3.

2. Pin

3. Lower Hole

1. Insert three (3) tines per holder and torque screws

(see torque chart on page 8). BE SURE tines are

tight against shoulder on tine holder. Open side of

each tine should be positioned towards the rear of

the machine for proper ejection of cores (See Fig. 4).

Figure 4

6 OPERATION

6.1 PRE–OPERATION CHECK

1. Check grounds area and remove foreign objects

which may be a hazard to the operator or could

damage the equipment.

2. BE SURE all under ground obstacles are clearly

marked.

3. Visually check all moving parts and fasteners, if

broken or loose, replace or tighten. Check for broken

or bent tines, replace as necessary.

4. BE SURE that all shields and guards are in place.

NEVER make adjustments or perform any

maintenance while the PTO is engaged.

6.2 BEGINNING AERATION

CAUTION

Position the tractor’s three point hitch arms to clear

the GA 60PT’s hitch and drive line when turning.

The tractor’s three point hitch arms may need to be

removed.

To prevent possible breakage of hydraulic lift cylin-

der brackets on frame, unit MUST BE resting on

down stops while aerating.

NEVER use the hydraulic lift cylinder to adjust

depth of aeration.

AERATING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

The GA 60PT is designed to aerate at a MAXIMUM

depth of 4” (102 mm). The operator should be aware that,

in extremely hard soil, the machine may not be capable

of pushing the tines 4” (102 mm) into the ground. DO

NOT operate with the depth setting at the 4” (102 mm)

maximum when the tines are only penetrating 2–3 inches

(51–76 mm). Operating under these conditions will

cause premature wear and/or broken components in the

aerator linkage. If the aerator tires consistently ride up off

the turf or bounce up off the turf, the ground is too hard.

NEVER try to aerate at a depth greater than the soil

conditions will allow. The operator must first make a test

run, measure the depth of the holes, and set the depth

adjustment to correspond to soil conditions. After

aerating the area once or twice at that depth to loosen the

sub–soil, it may be possible to lower the settings each

time until the 4” (102 mm) maximum depth can be

accomplished without abusing the GA 60PT.

AGAIN––Aerate a small test plot, measure the depth of

the hole and adjust the depth setting on the GA 60PT to

match it.

If aerating extremely hard soil, additional penetration is

possible with added water, either by rain or irrigation.

Moist ground is easier to aerate than dry ground and is

also easier on the aerator mechanism.

If aerating in soil with rocks or stones, additional

penetration over time may not be possible. The operator

must determine what depth is possible for that area and

be sure not to exceed that depth.

Adjusting the depth from 2 1/2” (64 mm) to 4” (102 mm) is

accomplished by adjusting the 1/2” (13 mm) axle stop

spacers shown in Figure 5.

CAUTION

Use extreme caution when backing the GA 60PT.

DO NOT back the GA 60PT with the aerator heads

in the down position. The tines and tine rams will

be SEVERELY DAMAGED.

DO NOT operate the GA 60PT over any hard sur-

faces (ie. driveways, sidewalks, ect.) with aerator

heads in the down position.

With the aerator heads raised, the GA 60PT can be

transported at any reasonable safe speed (10 m.p.h.

maximum). ALWAYS use extreme care when towing

aerator at any speeds above 5 m.p.h.

NOTE: The GA 60PT may be damaged if towed on a

flatbed trailer without the aerator heads lowered.

Place boards or similar type material on trailer to

prevent damage to trailer and/or tines when the

heads are lowered. Place blocks on the downstops

and lower the aerator heads.

MAINTENANCE 7

7 MAINTENANCE

WARNING

When performing service or maintenance

work on the GA 60PT, ALWAYS lock the

uplatch bar in place to prevent the aeration

heads from being lowered accidentally or due

to a loss in hydraulic pressure. Set the park

brake on the tractor.

If any type of work is to be performed on the

GA 60PT, remove the key from the tractor.

This will prevent the tractor from being acci-

dentally started.

When replacement parts are required, use

genuine RYAN parts or parts with equivalent

characteristics such as type, strength and

material. Failure to do so may result in prod-

uct malfunction and possible injury to the

operator and/or bystanders.

NEVER attempt to perform service or mainte-

nance functions on the GA 60PT if you are

UNTRAINED or UNAUTHORIZED. Improper

maintenance can and will cause hazardous

conditions. For necessary maintenance and
