STANDARD OPERATIONS PROCEDURE FOR THE AERATION PROCESS
NOTE:
Check hole depth before starting. Refer to page 27, Note (3).

Standing in the operator’s position behind the handle bars, with both hands on the handle bars, (left hand on
the left side and right hand on the right side) with thumb(s) or finger(s) press both trigger buttons simultaneously
and the aeration process will begin. DO NOT MOVE THE MACHINE . The process will take 3-4 seconds to
complete. The PLC will:
1) Lower the beam and the pads to the surface
2) insert the probes (3) into the ground
3) Once depth is achieved, the pre-set regulated amount of air is released into the subsurface, fracturing the
soil twice. Each burst is 0.5 seconds.
4) All probes will then retract, and an automatic air purge will then occur
5) Beam and pads will rise
6) AIR2G2®-336 can now be moved 3-4 feet (0.9144-1.219 m) to repeat the process.
NOTE: DO NOT TOW THE MACHINE. **THIS MAY DAMAGE THE TRANSAXLE**

The Hydro-Gear transaxle has a neutral position that is to be used only in an emergency or for repairs or
maintenance. THE MACHINE CANNOT BE TOWED. From the operator’s position standing behind the handle
bars, in front of the left tire you will see the neutral arm. (See LEFT PIC) Looking at the Neutral Arm, turn it
Counter-Clockwise (Anti-Clockwise) from the top point. Pull the arm towards you. At this point, the Neutral
should be engaged.

In order to move the machine while in the neutral position, you must make sure the machine and PLC are off
and the motor is no longer running. Also, the handle bars must be engaged. To move the machine TOWARDS
THE OPERATOR, pull the handle bars back. To move the machine AWAY FROM OPERATOR, push the
handle bars forward, thus releasing the brake. If out of gas, remove the tank and fill and re-install in proper
location.
1)
Before operating the machine, you must first engage the axle by releasing the neutral position (SEE RIGHT
PIC). To do this, locate neutral arm in front of the left tire, looking at the Neutral Arm, push it towards the
machine. The Neutral should now be released (PIC). The axle is now engaged and ready for operation. You
may now start the motor and begin operation of the machine.
2)
REMEMBER, when the handle bars are in the neutral position (center) the parking brake will automatically be
set.
3)
To transport the Air2G2-336 machine, use a heavy-duty trailer or truck with proper tie downs. Ensure that the
trailer or truck has all necessary markings and lighting as required by law
