OPERATING
USING THE WEIGHT TRAY
The following maximum loaded weight capacity is the weight of
the aerator plus the weight loaded in the tray:.
.
Towing capacity will vary with weight of towing vehicle and oper-
ator. Add the weight of your machine to operator weight to
the maximum capacity for towing.
DEPTH/PENETRATION
Weight should be added to the tray after installing to the towing
machine. Weight should be secured by rope, straps, or other
suitable means to contain the weight in the tray.
Weight tray maximum capacity = 150 pounds.
Moderate soil moisture is important for proper penetration.
Extremely dry conditions will not permit penetration and may
damage the tines. Extremely wet conditions will cause full pene-
tration to the tine spacers. This condition will cut slots in the turf.
SPEED
The best operating speed is 3 mph or less.
FREQUENCY
Aeration is not accomplished in a single pass. It will normally
take several passes over the lawn. Alternating the direction by
90° will improve the aeration e
.
The aerator may be used in an independent operation or may be
used when mowing your lawn.

hands are clear of Tine Tips.
