Use the Aerator only on an established lawn, never on newly

servicing unit.
Never exceed the Weight Tray capacity.
Do Not attempt to disconnect Aerator from tractor with weight
in Tray.
When backing, carefully back straight to avoid Jack-knifing,
which could result in damage to equipment.
WHEN TO AERATE
Your Aerator should not be used when lawn conditions
are too wet or too dry. To determine condition, dig a small
amount of your soil (about three inches deep):
If soil appears powdery and brittle- it is too dry. Wait until a
later date, the Tines will not penetrate properly.
If soil appears damp, roll a small amount into a ball in the
palm of your hand- if it forms a ball, then it is too wet. Ideally,
the soil should fall apart when rolled in the palm of your
hand. Wait until a later date for soil to dry. If soil is too wet,
the Tines will not operate effectively and your tractor could
loose traction, causing lawn damage.
