Operation
TURNING: At the end of an aerating run, release the bail and raise the tines out of the ground. Then repo-
sition the unit for another pass and lower the tines to begin another run.
TRANSPORT: Be sure to raise tines out of the ground (disengaging the bail and then raising the tines with
the center lever) before transporting away from the work area.
TIPS
MOW: Mow the lawn to its normal cut height.
WATER: For the best performance and maximum tine penetration the lawn should be thoroughly watered
the day before aeration.
INSPECT: Check the lawn before beginning work. Remove all rocks, wire, string, or other objects that can
present a hazard during work prior to starting.
IDENTIFY: Mark all fixed objects to be avoided during work, such as sprinkler heads, water valves, buried
cables, or clothes line anchors, etc.
SLOPES: Do not operate the aerator on steep slopes (exceeding 15
ing on any sloped surface. For lesser sloped areas operate the unit, traversing up and down at a 45
to the slope rather than straight across. Extended operation on steep slopes can cause engine damage.
