HANDLING & TRANSPORTING:
CAUTION:
This unit is heavy do not lift.
REMOVE:
Drain the water from the weight jugs (see accessories pg. 1) or remove weights before loading and
unloading the unit.
NOTE: The water tank accessory is also heavy (up to 40 lbs.) when it is full of water. The tank should be drained
and secured in place during transport.
USING RAMPS:
Use ramps that are of adequate strength for a unit of this weight. When loading the aerator using
ramps be sure the ramp is not too steep and that the surface of the ramp provides good traction.
ENGAGE TINES:
With the aerator in the work area, raise both wheels to their upward locked position, this will
lower the tines into the dirt.
TRANSPORT:
Be sure to lift the tines out of the ground before transporting away from the work area.
AERATING TIPS
WATER:
For the best performance and maximum tine penetration, the lawn should be thoroughly watered the day
before aeration.
SLOPES:
Do not aerate on steep slopes. Use extreme caution when operating on any sloped surface. For lesser
sloped areas operate the unit, traversing up and down at a 45 degree angle to the slope rather than straight
across.
TINE PENETRATION:
Maximum tine penetration is achieved by the amount of weight that is being used.
TURNING:
Avoid sharp turns or high speed turns as this may result in damage to the machine.
PARKING
NEVER PARK THIS UNIT ON A SLOPE OF ANY KIND. Always keep tines in the up position when parking the unit.
