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.

6.1 PREOPERATION 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 tractors three point hitch arms to clear
the GA 60PTs hitch and drive line when turning.
The tractors 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 23 inches
(5176 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
subsoil, 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.

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
service, contact your authorized RYAN dealer.
When it is necessary to raise the GA 60PT for
any repair or service, use jackstands to help
provide adequate support. DO NOT rely on
hydraulic or mechanical jacks for support.
Immediately replace any warning and/or
safety decal that becomes damaged or diffi-
cult to read.
