OPERATION
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY:
Excessive towed load can cause loss of control on slopes.
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of the towed load. Total towed weight must
not exceed combined weight of towing vehicle, ballast and operator.
DEPTH / PENETRATION
- Weight should be added to tray after installing
to the towing machine. Weight should be secured by
rope, straps, or other suitable means to contain the
weight in the tray.
- Weight tray maximum capacity = 150 pounds.
- Moderate soil moisture is
important for proper penetration.
- Extremely dry conditions will not permit penetration
and may damage the tines. Extremely wet conditions
will cause full pene-tration to the tine spacers. This
condition will cut slots in the turf.
SPEED
The best operating speed
is 3 mph or less.
FREQUENCY
Aeration is not accomplished in a single pass. It will
normally take several passes over the lawn. Alternating
the direction by 90° will improve the aeration effect.
The aerator may be used in an independent operation or
may be used when mowing your lawn.
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY!
Keep body parts away
from under drawbar. Do not disconnect aerator from
the towing vehicle with weight on the tray.
USING THE WEIGHT TRAY
The following maximum loaded weight capacity is the
weight of the aerator plus the weight loaded in the tray:

Towing capacity will vary with weight of towing vehicle
and operator. Add the weight of your machine to operator
weight to find the maximum capacity for towing.
