Cleaning Aerator :
When aerating areas of very mossy lawn we recommend re-sow-
ing the lawn after aerating. This helps the areas of lawn which
were replaced by moss to regenerate more quickly.
When in operation, the mains cable must always be guided in the
direction you are working at the side of the area you are aerating.
Always work away from the mains cable.
4. Assembly
1. Slide cable strain relief device 1 onto the upper handle 2 .
2. Insert bolts 4 from the inside through the holes in the upper
handle 2 and join the upper handle 2 to the middle part of
the handle 3 using the wing nuts 5 .
When joining the middle part of the handle to the lower handle,
ensure that the fold on the lower handle
6 is correctly aligned
(see Fig.).
3. Insert bolts 7 from the inside through the holes in the lower
handle 6 and join the lower handle 6 to the middle part of
the handle 3 using the wing nuts 8 .
The handle is now assembled.

housing so that the
recess
0 is on the
left side (in the direc-
tion of motion)
(see Fig.).
5. On the underside of
the housing, bolt the
lower handle to the
