PRODUCT APPLICATION

The Ryan Tracaire is designed to be drawn behind a tractor or similar type vehicle utilizing a SAE
3-point tractor hitch. The Tracaire is used to aerate large areas such as fairways, parks and athletic
fields to relieve soil compaction.
SET-UP
DO NOT rely on tractor hydraulics to support
the Tracaire during set-up or maintenance. A
sudden hydraulic line failure can cause the
unit to drop unexpectedly causing severe
injuries to you or bystanders. ALWAYS use
good quality jackstands for support.
1. Back tractor up to Tracaire. Attach Tracaire to
3-point hitch on tractor and secure. See Figure
1.
2. Activate tractor hydraulic system and raise
Tracaire. Raise the unit approximately
6" (15.2 cm) above working surface and support
with jackstands placed beneath the pillow
blocks. Lower Tracaire onto jackstands and
shut off tractor engine. See Figure 2.
3. Attach slicing knives or tines to wheels. To
obtain even spacing between tools, always
clamp tools to the side of aerating wheel as
shown in Figure 3.
Tines and knives are sharp and could cut
hands. ALWAYS wear leather gloves or
similar hand protection when working on or
around tine wheels. Remove tines or knives
from aerating wheels before attempting axle
replacement.
