- slow engine speed.
- 3. Engage shift lever at the lowest possible forward speed and lower aerator,
- allowing spike points to enter the ground. Increase speed as conditions permit.
- 4. Aerate in the straightest line possible, making overlapping passes to increase
- density of the spike point pattern.
- 5. Avoid extremely sharp turns with spike points engaged in ground to prevent
- damage to lawn.
- 6. DO NOT cross over foot paths or drive ways without first raising the aerator.
- 7. On sloped lawns, always aerate in an up and down direction. DO NOT attempt to
- follow the contour of the ground.

- such as bags of sand or 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
