GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating
and maintaining your Super Turf Renovator. Read it
carefully. It furnishes information and instructions that
will help you achieve years of dependable performance. 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 situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were current at the time of printing but, due to possible inline
production changes, your machine may vary slightly in
detail. We reserve the right to redesign and change the
machines as may be necessary without notification.
■ Super Turf Renovator should never be oper-
ated with any safety shielding removed.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right

Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance, and storage of equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be
that kind of operator.

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.
TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
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.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
MAINTENANCE
Before dismounting power unit or performing
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath equipment
or between moveable parts even when the engine
has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak-down,
hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or

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 operation. 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
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
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).
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 reconditioning 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.
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.
Figure 2. Maximum Front Roller Position
Rear Rollers
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 germination. The spring tension on the rear roller can be
