|---|
| Editorial: | Aerate compacted soil to promote new grass growth and enjoy a golf course like |
|---|
| lawn. Ideal for use with many brands of lawn tractor type ride-on lawn mowers |
|---|

|---|
| Aerating means pulling small soil plugs, ranging up to three inches in length, from |
|---|
| the soil to create small reservoirs that will bring oxygen, fertilizer and water |
|---|
| down into the roots. For best aerator performance, the following lawn preparations |
|---|
| and operating procedures are recommended. |
|---|
| OPERATION: CAUTION: POINTS OF AERATOR KNIVES ARE SHARP! EXERCISE CAUTION AT ALL |
|---|
| 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 plugger points to enter the ground. Increase speed as conditions permit. |
|---|
| 4. Aerate in the straightest line possible, making overlapping passes to increase |
|---|
| the plugger point pattern. |
|---|
| 5. Avoid extremely sharp turns with plugger points engaged in ground to prevent |
|---|
| damage to lawn. |
|---|
| 6. DO NOT cross over foot paths or drive ways without first raising the aerator to |
|---|
| the transport position. |
|---|
| 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 plugger point penetration, up to 140 lb (63.5 Kg) of |
|---|
| weight, such as bags of sand or (4) 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. |
|---|
| 9. If the ground is extremely hard and dry, it is recommended that it be sprinkled |
|---|
| or watered down for one or two hours prior to aerating. |
|---|
| 10. DO NOT attempt to aerate if ground is too wet, (muddy). |
|---|
| 11. Due to small rocks and gravel which are normally present in aerated soil plugs, |
|---|
| it is recommended that the plugs be raked; otherwise damage to the lawn mower |
|---|
| blades may arise, especially when reel type mowers are used. |
