Page 8: Before Starting
KNOW YOUR PLUG AERATOR Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your plug aerator. Compare the illustration below with your aerator to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations. LIFT HANDLE Raises the aerator to the transport position and lowers it to the operating position. STOP BRACKETS Locks the lift handle in the transport position (upper bracket) or operating position (lower bracket). - Page 9 DO NOT attempt to aerate if ground is too wet, or • muddy. • Due to possible small rocks and gravel which can be 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.
