5 SETUP

5.4 INITIAL BELT SEATING AND
ADJUSTMENT

Proper tensioning of V-belts is the single most important
factor necesssary for long, satisfactory operation. Too
little tension will result in slippage, causing rapid belt and
pulley wear. Too much tension can result in excessive
stress on belts, bearings, and shafts; reduced efficiency;
and operator fatigue due to excessive force required to
hold the bail closed.

1. Operate the drive a few minutes to seat the belts in

the sheave grooves. Observe the operation of the

drive under its highest load condition (usually
starting).

2. Check the tension on a new drive serveral times
during the first 24 hours of opertion.

3. Keep the drive free of foreign material which might
cause slippage or damage to the belt and sheave
surfaces.

4. If a V-belt slips, it is too loose. NEVER apply belt
dressing, as this will damage the belt and cause
early failure.

5. Make sure pulleys stay in proper alignment.
Misaligned pulleys can result in belt rolling in the
pulley groove causing belt damage or breakage.

6.1 HANDLE CONTROLS

Transport Lift Handle

Pushing down on the handle lowers the tines for aerating.
Pulling the handle up raises the tines so the aerator can
be moved or transported without incurring damage to the
unit or the turf. See Figure 8.

Clutch Control Handle

Engages the belt tightener clutch. Pulling back on the
handle engages the clutch; releasing the handle
disengages the clutch. See Figure 8.

!

WARNING

Releasing the clutch on an incline will cause
freewheeling, which will allow the unit to roll
down the incline.

Throttle Control

Briggs & Stratton Engine Controls

The engine is equipped with an On/Off switch, a choke
control and a fuel shut-off valve. The On/Off switch must
be in the “ON” position for the engine to be started.
Turning the On/Off switch to the “OFF” position will stop
the engine. Using the choke control will help start a cold
engine. After the engine starts, adjust the choke for best
running results. Once the engine warms up, the choke
should not be needed. Refer to Figures 9 and 10.

present in the exhaust is an odorless and
deadly gas.

DO NOT operate equipment without shields in
place. DO NOT make adjustments or perform
any maintenance while the engine is running.

Before operating, check the area and remove
any objects which may present a safety hazard
or damage the equipment.

This unit is not designed to be used on steep
slopes. To prevent injury and/or damage to
equipment, use extreme caution when operat­ing near terraces or hilly terrain. Travel up and
down slopes at a 45

WARNING

When replacement parts are required, use
genuine RYAN parts or parts with equivalent
characteristics, including type, strength and
material. Failure to do so may result in product
malfunction and possible injury to the
operator and/or bystanders.

Any warning decal that becomes illegible
should be replaced immediately.

Do not operate equipment without shields in
place.

Do not make any adjustments or perform any
maintenance while the engine is running.

1. Thoroughly clean all tines inside and out when
aerating is completed and apply a light coat of oil to
prevent rust on tines.

6. Keep the roller chain clean and in proper running
order. Lubricate using Lubriplate #13563, available
as Part No. 523248.

7. Check the roller chain for tightness and wear . Adjust
idler sprockets if necessary by loosening the nut and
screw holding the idler sprocket to the frame and
then sliding the sprocket in the slot to the desired
position. Tighten hardware.

NOTE:

Excessive roller chain tightness will shorten the
life of the bearings. The chain should have
movement of 1/8″ to 1/4″ (3 mm to 6 mm)
deflection at the center point between the upper
idler and drum sprockets. See Figure 14.

2. Check the engine and gear reduction case oil levels
with the engine resting in a level position.

3. Inspect the air filter element and replace it if
necessary.

4. Lubricate the clutch pivot prior to each aerating
season or as needed. See Figure 13.
