General Safety

•
Read and understand the contents of the
Operator's Manual for both the aerator and the

•
Train all operators and service personnel on the

•
Raise the tines, slow down, and use caution when
crossing surfaces other than grass and when
transporting the machine.
•
Do not operate the machine when ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

repairing the aerator.
•
Always wear gloves when servicing the tines.
Replace damaged tines.

of the machine.
