Step
11: Adjusting the handle and tightening the connections
Place the lawn aerator right side up on the
wheels and lock the lifting handle into the
offset at the front of the storage slot. Per-
form the following steps to ensure correct
alignment of the lifting handle with the slot.
1. Adjust the compartment from side to
side so that the lifting handle rests on the
right side (seen from behind) of the offset
on the front of the slot.
2. Align the side plates and then tighten
the eight screws at the corners of the com-
partment. ake sure that the lifting handle
is still on the right side of the slot offset.
3. Align the middle rail and tighten the two
screws that secure it to the tongue.
ake sure that the lifting handle is still on
the right side of the slot offset. You should
bring the handle into alignment with the
slot when lowering the lawn aerator. The
locking device is designed to help prevent
the handle from slipping out when the
lawn aerator is in use. ut if you feel that
this part does not fit correctly, simply re-
move the pin.
Operation
Aeration involves pulling small cones, up to three centimetres long, out of the ground to create small
reservoirs that bring oxygen, fertiliser, and water to the roots. For optimum performance, the following
lawn preparations and operating procedures are recommended.
ATTENTION:
THE TIPS OF THE FAN BLADES ARE SHARP.
CAUTION DURING USE.
1.
ow your lawn and remove loose cuttings before using the lawn aerator.
2.
Start the engine with the gearbox in neutral position and set the engine speed to a low value.
3.
Lower the gear lever to the lowest possible speed and the fan so that the fan blades can pene-
trate the ground. Increase the speed only if conditions allow.
4.
Drive on the lawn in straight, overlapping lanes to increase the ventilation capacity.
5.
Avoid extremely sharp bends with blades embedded in the ground to avoid damage to the lawn.
6.
Do
NOT
cross paths or roads without first switching the lawn aerator to the transport position.
7.
Always drive on slopes and inclines from above or below. Do
NOT
try to drive along the slope.
8.
To increase the penetration depth of the fan blades, up to 220
kg of weight such as sand bags
or concrete blocks can be placed on the tray. The weight can be attached to the shelf with cable
ties or straps attached to the front and back of the shelf. Fasten the straps or ropes so that they
cannot get caught in the rotating parts.
9.
If the soil is extremely hard and dry, it is recommended that it is watered for up to two hours
before aeration.
10.
Do
NOT
try to ventilate if the ground is too wet (muddy).
11.
Small stones and pebbles that come to the surface through ventilation should then be collected
so that other equipment, such as lawn mowers are not damaged.
