OPERATION
Aeration involves pulling small cones, up to three centimeters long, out of the ground to cre-
ate small reservoirs that bring oxygen, fertilizer and water to the roots. For optimum perfor-
mance, the following lawn preparations and operating procedures are recommended.
ATTENTION: THE TIPS OF THE FAN BLADES ARE SHARP. CAUTION DURING USE.
1. Mow lawn and remove loose cuttings before using the lawn aerator.
2. Start the engine with the gearbox in neutral position and set the engine speed to a low
value.
3. Lower the gear lever to the lowest possible speed and the fan so that the fan blades can
penetrate the ground. Increase the speed only if conditions allow.
4. Drive on the lawn in straight, overlapping lanes to increase the ventilation capacity.
5. Avoid extremely sharp bends with blades embedded in the ground to avoid damage to
the lawn.
6. DO NOT cross paths or roads without first switching the lawn aerator to the transport po-
sition.
7. Always drive on slopes and inclines from above or below. DO NOT try to drive along the
slope.
8. To increase the penetration depth of the fan blades, up to 220 kg of weight such as sand
bags or concrete blocks can be placed on the tray. The weight can be attached to the
shelf with cable ties or straps attached to the front and back of the shelf. Fasten the
straps or ropes so that they cannot get caught in the rotating parts.
9. If the soil is extremely hard and dry, it is recommended that it is watered for up to two
hours before aeration.
10. Do NOT try to ventilate if the ground is too wet (muddy).
11. Small stones and pebbles that come to the surface through ventilation should then be
collected so that other equipment, such as lawn mowers are not damaged.
ATTENTION: TO AVOID INJURY, DISCONNECT THE AERATOR FROM THE TRACTOR WHEN
LIFTING OR LOWERING THE FAN BLADES.
