the  removable  weight  in  the  center  pocket  in  the  top 

cover on the chassis. During operation, slight downward 

pressure can be applied to the handlebars to increase 

tine penetration depth. Limit downward pressure so that 

the front wheels remain on the ground during operation.

MAXIMUM ANGLE OF OPERATION

TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY,

Do Not Operate the Aerator On Slopes Over 15°

 

Degrees.

Aerator Can Tip, Roll Over, Or Roll Back Onto Operator.

Do  not  operate  the  Aerator  on 

slopes over 15

°

 degrees. Serious 

injury  can  occur  if  the  operator 

slips  and  gets  feet  or  hands 

caught in the revolving tine reel. 

When  operated  on  steep  slopes 

or  when  operated  in  an  unsafe 

manner,  the Aerator  can  tip,  roll  over,  or  roll  back  on 

to  the  operator,  causing  serious  injury.  When  aerating 

on minor slopes, never operate straight up or down or 

across  the  slope. Approach  a  minor  slope  moving  up 

and down at a 45

°

 degree angle to the slope. 

ENGINE STARTING AND STOPPING PROCEDURES

To Start Engine:

1. Pull Transport Wheel Lift Handle Up. Tines must be out 

of the ground. Ensure that the Direction Control Handle 

is disengaged.

2. Place Fuel Shutoff in ON Position. On the Yamaha 

engine use the fuel selector to select either the front or 

rear fuel tank.

3. Set Engine Throttle (or choke on Yamaha)

4. Pull Starter Rope To Start Engine.

6. Reset Throttle (or choke),  Allow Engine To Warm

 Up.

Engine should be at full speed (3600 RPM)  

during operation 

To Stop Engine:

1. Release Direction Control Handle.

2. Pull Transport Wheel Lift Handle Up. Tines must be out 

of the ground.

3. Reset Throttle to Idle and Allow Engine to Return to Idle 

Speed (Briggs and Stratton).

4. Place Throttle to STOP Position (Use On/Off switch on 

Yamaha engine)

5. Place Engine Fuel Shutoff To OFF Position.

To stop the engine in an emergency situation, 

release the direction control handle and put the 

engine throttle in the STOP position.

On Yamaha engines, Use the On/Off switch .

OPERATING DIRECTION CONTROL HANDLE

Slowly

 push the direction handle forward to engage 

the forward direction. 

Slowly

 pull the handle back to 

engage  reverse  direction.  Fast  engagement  of  the 

direction will cause the Aerator to surge forward (or 

reverse) causing the operator to loose control of the 

machine. Releasing the direction control handle will 

return the drive to a neutral position.

Slowly Engage The Direction Control Handle.  

Fast Engagement May Cause Operator To Loose 

Control Of The Aerator. Fast Engagement On 

Uneven Ground Can Cause The Aerator To Tip Or 

Roll Over.

The  Direction  Control  will  not  act  as  a  brake  when 

released.  If  the  Direction  Control  is  released  or 

disengaged when the Aerator is going up a slope, the 

machine can freewheel and roll backwards towards 

the  operator.  If  the  Direction  Control  is  released  or 

disengaged  when  going  down  a  slope,  the  machine 

can freewheel forward.

OPERATING GROUND SPEED

Operating ground speed should be at a normal walking 

speed, but can vary depending on the conditions of the 

turf and work site. Vary the operating ground speed to 

suit conditions. Reduce speed by the direction control 

to slow down when near or next to obstacles.

Forward ground speed is controlled

 

by the direction control handle.
