MAN0101 (Rev. 9/15/2006)
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
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.
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-

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 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).

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 germina-
tion. The spring tension on the rear roller can be
