Soil Pulverizer Failure Modes and Troubleshooting

• Soil isn't being uniformly pulverized
  • One or more of the tines is loose- Insure all tine bolts are tight.
  • One or more of the tines is broken down or worn- Weld a new tine to the broken or worn ones.
• Too difficult to pull through soil- adjust height of the tines, you are trying to till too much at once.
• Shaft isn't spinning
  • One of the Quick-couplers isn't attached to the source- Double-check all hose connections
  • Coupler is broken or disconnected- Check to see coupler is attached to both motor and shaft
  • Motor is broken- Remove motor from coupler and see that it spins. If not the motor is the issue.
