Ø20 flat washer and a wheel bracket onto the long end of the shaft. Point the wheel bracket as shown in
Fig.4.Fasten to the shaft using a 1/4”x1-9/16” hex bolt and 1/4” hex lock nut. Tighten. Repeat for the other end
of shaft.
Page 12
STEP 5
1. Add a thick flat washer ø12 to M12x110 hex bolt, then Insert the bolts through the wheel, add a thick flat
washer ø12 onto the bolt, to the inside of the wheel.
2. Put the M12 hex nut (I) on the end and tight, then loosen the hex nut (I) a 1 /2 turn.
3. Slide assembled wheel through wheel bracket and fasten with 1/2” lock nut.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other side and tighten all hardware.
NOTE: Make sure the both wheels spin freely after assembly.
STEP 6
1. Assemble the hitch bracket to the tongue using two M8x25 hex bolts and M8 hex lock nuts. Tighten.
2. Assemble the hitch pin through the hitch bracket and the tongue. Secure it with the hair cotter pin.
Page 13
STEP 7
1. Assemble the tongue to the tray, placing the wide end of the tray slot to the front. Use two M8x25 hex
bolts, two M8x30 hex bolts, four 0.27” long spacers, four M8 hex lock nuts. Tighten.
2. Assemble two M8x30 hex bolts, four 0.27” long spacers, two M8 hex lock nuts to the holes on the right
side of the slot in the tray. Tighten.
STEP 8
1. Align the tray between the end plates. Use three M8x20 hex bolts to temporarily secure three corners of
the tray to the end plates. Leave one upper corner empty. Attach both end plates (3) to the tray (1) using
5/16” x 7/8” hex bolt (D), Ø8” flat washer (M) and secure with 5/16” lock nut (K) each corner. Each corner
has two 2 connections.
2. Rotate the middle brace up against the tongue, aligning it with the holes that are closest to slot in the tray,
fasten the brace to the tongue using two M8x25 hex bots, M8 hex lock nuts. Do not tighten until final
step.
Page 14
STEP 9
1. Assemble both of the end plates to the tray using eight M8x20 hex bolts, Ø8 Flat washers, M8 hex lock
nuts. Do not tighten until final step.
STEP 10
Place the lift handle through the slot in the tray. Fasten the lift handle to the smaller hole in the middle wheel
bracket using the bolt and hex lock nut which you pre-assembled earlier (Fig.1). Fasten the lift handle to the
larger hole in the wheel bracket using a M8x30 hex bolt, the shoulder spacer, a M8 hex lock nut. Tighten.
Page 15
STEP 11
1. Place the aerator right side up, lock the lift handle in the offset position at the front of the tray slot.
2. Perform the following to correct lift handle alignment with the tray slot opening
• Adjust the tray (1) from side to side until the lift handle (4) rests against the front right side (viewed
from rear) of the tray slot (offset).
• Straighten the end plates (3) and then tighten the eight bolts on each corner of the tray, making sure
the lift handle (4) still rests against the right side of the tray slot (offset).
• Straighten the middle brace (2) and tighten the two bolts which fasten it to the tongue.
3. You will need some force to position the lift handle (4) into position when lowering the aerator.
4. Make sure all hardware is tight before operating the aera tor.
NOTE: BEHIND THE LIFT ARM on the top tray is a place for a locking pin. Slide the locking pin through the holes
with the aerator in the upright position. The safety lock keeps the aerator from dropping down while it is being
towing and not in use. This will prevent damage to plug spikes.
Page 16
OPERATION
WARNING
Before using the aerator, review the instructions below and safety information. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in property damage or injury to the operator or bystanders.
IMPORTANT:
Aerating is pulling small soil plugs up to three inches in length from the soil to create small reservoirs that will
bring oxygen, fertilizer and water down to the roots. For best aerating results follow the soil/lawn preparation
and operating aerator procedures.
SOIL AND LAWN PREPARATION
1. Remove all debris from the work area.
2. If the ground is hard and dry, it is recommended the ground is watered for one or two hours prior to aerating.
3. If the ground is wet or muddy, DO NOT attempt to aerate.
4. Mow lawn and remove loose clippings before aerating.
USING YOUR AERATOR
1. DO NOT exceed rated load capacity of 63.5kg (140lb).
2. ALWAYS secure and lock the aerator to the ride on machinery hitch before operating.
3. ONLY use approved vehicles when towing the aerator (Lawn/Garden Tractors and ATVs).
4. DO NOT at any time carry passengers on the aerator.
5. Start vehicle engine with the controls in neutral position, put throttle at the slowest engine speed. Put
transmission in low gear first and lower the aerator, allowing plug spikes to enter the ground. Increase the
speed as work conditions permit.
6. Vehicle braking and stability may be affected with the attachment of this equipment.
7. NEVER EXCEED 5MPH when towing the aerator.
8. Aerate in the straightest line as possible, making overlapping passes to increase the plug spike point
pattern.
9. DO NOT make sharp turns that may cause the vehicles tyres to rub against the aerator.
10. Avoid extremely sharp turns with plug spikes engaged to prevent damage to lawn.
11. DO NOT cross over paths or driveways, without raising the aerator to the transport position.
12. On sloped lawns, always aerate in an up and down direction. DO NOT attempt to aerate across the slope,
always go in an up and down direction.
13. Always use caution when backing the aerator to avoid “jack-knifing”. Always back up in a straight line.
14. To increase the depth of plug spike penetration extra weight may be add to the tray (Max. 140lb) use
either bags of sand or concrete blocks. Always secured the weight to tray with ties or straps fastened to
the front and rear of the tray. The ties or straps cannot become entangled on rotating parts.
ATTACHING THE AERATOR TO THE TOW VEHICLE
• Park the tow vehicle and aerator on level ground.
• Set the height adjustment handle to middle of its adjustment.
• Insert the hitch pin through the hitch brackets and towing eye of the tow vehicle and secure with the
cotter pin.
CAUTION
To avoid and prevent injury always dismount from approved vehicle to raise or lower aerator when extra
weight has been added to the tray.
Page 17
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Improper maintenance and storage of the aerator may void your warranty.
• Rinse/dry inside and outside of the aerator after each use.
• Before operating make sure the tyres have the recommended 25 PSI tyre pressure (DO NOT EXCEED).
• Regularly grease the axle and the wheel bearing area or when needed.
• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
• Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.
• Use a glossy enamel spray paint to touch up scratched or worn painted metal surfaces.
• Plug spikes periodically need to be sharpened with a small grinder to maintain good penetration. Spools
should be removed to sharpen the points. Always follow the original angle and contour of the points when
grinding. Ideally, this should be undertaken by an approved service dealer of your local garden machinery
specialist.
• Never exceed load capacity rating of 63.5kg (140lb).
IMPORTANT:
If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Replacement parts
that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation. Please contact our Parts Team
for availability, who can be contacted Tel: 01793 333212, option 1 for assistance.
STORAGE
• Never allow material to remain on the aerator for extended periods of time.
• Before storing, make sure the aerator is clean and dry for years of trouble-free service.
• Store indoors or in a protected area during severe weather and winter months.
• When storing outside, always keep the tongue a little higher than the back of the aerator to allow the
moisture to easily run out the back and will not accumulate on the aerator.
