5.4 Operation
Before aerating can be carried out, the grass must be cut short and be cleared of any
objects such as stones or sticks that would damage the Aerator.
WARNING: AERATING LONG GRASS WILL QUICKLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
COMPONENTS OF THE MACHINE. WE RECOMMEND GRASS IS CUT PRIOR TO
AERATING.
Do not operate the Aerator on wet lawns or in wet weather.
Hollow tines should only be used on moist ground conditions.
Hardcore or rubble located under the surface of the turf will cause damage to the machine.
Use a garden fork to test the depth of the turf. The fork must enter the ground up to 100mm
in depth to avoid damage to the tines or corers.
When safety checks have been completed, start the engine following the correct procedure.
Position the throttle lever in its midway position.
Lift the operating lever to engage the drive and start the tines rotating in their lifted position.
Using the central tine control lever, lower the tine lifting board, allowing the rotating tine rods
to fall to a vertical position where the tines will be penetrating the ground.
As the tines begin to penetrate the ground they will start to also propel the LA20 Aerator
forwards.
