WARNING!
Coremaster is specifically deisgned as turf aerators fitted with very sharp tines which plunge repeatedly into the turf at high speed to relieve soil compaction.
Coremaster has high speed parts which produce vibrations. If this equipment is not properly maintained, such vibrations can loosen nuts on bolts, loosen socket set screws & move parts out of alignment. This will cause rapid component wear and subsequent machine failure if left unchecked. Such damage is specifically excluded from warranty.
Never use Coremaster in areas where the tines can hit solid objects such as concrete, rocks, irrigation equipment, tree roots, etc. Under those conditions, severe vibrations and sudden jerking movements can occur causing loss of control, serious personal injury and severe damage to the aerator. Always place your Coremaster on its cradle before servicing.
Thefollowingpointsshouldassistyouwithsafe,troublefreeaeration:
1. BEFORE AERATING:
