MOUNTING AND TRANSPORTING
Figure 7.
Attatch Aerator to your rider using Pin (18) and Hairpin
Cotter (12) supplied.
To place in Transport Position: Pull FORWARD on
Handle Assembly (8), pull out slightly and position
over Transport Lock Pin (24). Aerator rests on
wheels.
To place in Operating Position: Pull OUT on Handle
Assembly (releasing from Transport Position) and
move Handle BACK. Aerator should rest on Tines.
OPERATION
A moderate soil moisture content is important to
proper operation of the Aerator. Penetration will
not occur in extremely dry soil, and wet conditions
will cause the unit to “bog down”.
For best penetration, add extra weight to the Tray.
Concrete Patio Blocks are recommended, how-
ever any weight is suitable if it can be tied down.
If blocks are used, normally two are sufficient for
good penetration, provided lawn is not too dry.
Weight should be added with Drawbar attached to
Tractor Drawbar and may be secured with rubber
tie down straps, bailing wire, rope etc. Hole in
Tray End Plates can be used to secure bindings.
The Aerator may be used as a single independent
operation, or in most circumstances, can be used
while mowing your grass.
MAINTENANCE
The Aerator is essentially maintenance free. How-
ever, as with any steel product, it can rust. To
prevent or eliminate rust on Tines, apply a light coat
of oil.
For rust appearing on Tray or Mounting Brackets,
sand lightly and coat with enamel.
Periodically check the Aerating Tines and remove
any debris that might build up and restrict their
action.
Apply a drop of lubricating oil at each Tine/Bearing
Assembly before use.
Always store in a dry area.
