TIMES WHILE USING THE AERATOR.
1. Mow lawn and remove loose clippings prior to use of lawn aerator.
2. Start the lawn tractor engine with controls in neutral and place throttle at a
slow engine speed.
3. Engage shift lever at the lowest possible forward speed and lower aerator,
allowing spike points to enter the ground. Increase speed as conditions permit.
4. Aerate in the straightest line possible, making overlapping passes to increase
density of the spike point pattern.
5. Avoid extremely sharp turns with spike points engaged in ground to prevent
damage to lawn.
6. DO NOT cross over foot paths or drive ways without first raising the aerator.
7. On sloped lawns, always aerate in an up and down direction. DO NOT attempt to
follow the contour of the ground.
8. To increase the depth of point penetration, up to 100 lb (45.35 Kg) of weight,
such as bags of sand or concrete blocks, may be added to the tray. The weight can
be secured to the tray with ties or straps fastened to the front and rear of the
tray. Fasten so that the ties or straps cannot become entangled on rotating parts.
