of the cradle assembly.
2. Lower the aerating wheels until the eye bolts are supporting the cradle assembly.

Contacting a buried gas line could result in an explosion.
Be certain utilities are deep enough before operating over them.
Do not leave the tractor unattended without first lowering the aerator and stopping the engine.
To prevent possible injury, do not operate aerator without weight trays in place. Do not make any

1. Position tractor and equipment where aerating is to begin.
2. Lower aerating wheels and proceed to aerate.
NOTE:
Never cross hard surfaces (sidewalks, driveways, stepping stones etc.) with the tines down.
To prevent turf damage, aerator must be raised completely out of the ground while turning the tractor.
Do Not back up when the tines are in the ground or damage to the tines and clamps may occur.
When aerating soft ground and full penetration is not desired, the depth may be controlled by raising the
cradle assembly with the hydraulic system.
Failure to lubricate the aerating wheels can cause damage to the axles, bushings and the wheels.
