will help you achieve years of dependable perfor-  
mance. These instructions have been compiled from  
extensive field experience and engineering data. Some  
information may be general in nature due to unknown  
and varying operating conditions. However, through  
experience and these instructions, you should be able  
to develop procedures suitable to your particular situa-  
tion.  
Super Turf Renovator should never be oper-  
ated with any safety shielding removed.  
Throughout this manual, references are made to right

out by an operator’s single careless act.  
In addition to the design and configuration of  
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-  
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-  
cern, judgement, and proper training of  
personnel involved in the operation, transport,  
maintenance, and storage of equipment.  
A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment  
weight must be on the tractor front wheels when  
attachments are in transport position. Without this  
weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal  
injury or death. The weight may be attained with a  
loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front  
tractor weights. Weigh the tractor and equipment.  
Do not estimate.  
It has been said, “The best safety device is an  
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be  
that kind of operator.

OPERATION  
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of  
this renovator. The operator must be properly trained.  
Operators should be familiar with the equipment, the  
tractor, and all safety practices before starting opera-  
tion. Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 5  
through page 8.  
Recommended tractor ground speed is from 2 to 5  
mph.  
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or  
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely  
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death

Never allow children or untrained persons to  
operate equipment.  
Figure 1. Front Roller in Straight Position  
The front rollers can be angled to promote a more  
aggressive tearing action of the turf. The more the  
angle, the more tearing action is applied by the front  
roller pins. For severe turf conditions, the maximum  
angle position may be desired (Figure 2).  
Keep bystanders away from equipment.  
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from  
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all  
moving parts.  
CAUTION  
Stop power unit and equipment immediately  
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,  
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before  
resuming operation.  
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing  
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear  
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective  
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;  
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.  
Super Turf Renovator Roller Operation  
The Super Turf Renovator is an excellent turf recondi-  
tioning tool. Its ground penetration promotes a healthy  
root system by allowing water, air, and sunlight to enter  
the roots.  
For best results, adjust the renovator level front to back  
so that the front and rear rollers work together. Control  
forward and backward pitch by adjusting the tractor's  
top link length.  
DP7  
Figure 2. Maximum Front Roller Position  
Rear Rollers  
Front Rollers  
When the front rollers are straight (Figure 1) and the  
renovator is pulled forward, the large front pins will  
penetrate the soil in a straight pushing action, and little  
disturbance is caused to the turf.  
The rear roller firms and presses soil kicked up by the  
front roller. This creates a uniform seedbed with the  
loose soil necessary for ensuring proper seed germina-  
tion. The spring tension on the rear roller can be
