MAINTENANCE
Remove soil cores from the tines using the soil core remover prior to storage. Spray a thin coat of oil (WD-40 or
equivalent) on the inside surfaces of the tines after each use to prevent corrosion/rust. Corrosion on the inside surfaces
of the tines may impede core removal and cause clogging.
Occasionally, the fasteners may become loose. Tighten the fasteners as needed but do not over-tighten.
Through the normal use, the paint or finish may deteriorate due to abrasion. In addition, the aerator tines may become
dull and require sharpening. The steel tines may be sharpened with a grinding wheel. Due to its high hardness, the
tines cannot be easily sharpened with a file. Alternatively, you may purchase replacement parts from

LIMITED WARRANTY
Vibrant Yard Company, LLC. will repair or replace without cost to the owner any part or parts of the Step ’N Tilt
®
found to have manufacturing defect for a period of one year from the date of purchase.
HOW TO USE THE SOIL CORE REMOVER
CORRECT:
Tilt the Step ’N Tilt
®
to a horizontal position if the soil core is to be removed while the aerator
tine is installed on the Step ’N Tilt
®
. Push the soil core from the bottom opening of the aerator tine. Do not
use a screwdriver or any sharp object to remove the soil core as this will cause the soil to stick to the inside
surfaces of the tine, which will cause further clogging.
INCORRECT:
Never push the soil core from the top opening of the aerator tine; doing so will cause the soil
to stick to the inside surfaces of the tine, which will cause further clogging.
NO, do not insert soil core remover
from the top opening, because doing
so will exacerbate clogging problem.
