Operation
STARTING ENGINE
See engine manufacturer’s instructions for type and amount of oil and gasoline used. Engine must be level
when checking and lling oil and gasoline.
If your unit fails to start, check trouble shooting section in operator’s manual and also see engine
manual.
NOTE: Honda engines are equipped with a low oil sensor to prevent engine damage. When it senses a low
oil condition (i.e. unit is operating or sitting on a steep slope) the engine shuts down. The low oil condition
must be corrected before the engine can be restarted. See the engine owner’s manual for more informa-
tion.
ENGINE SPEED Controlled by lever on the engine. Under normal condi-
tions, operate at the minimum throttle speed to accom-
plish your task.
ON/OFF SWITCH Set the On/Off switch to the on setting.
FUEL VALVE Move fuel valve to “ON” position.
(Honda: Located below the air cleaner on the engine.)
CHOKE Engage the choke when starting a cold engine.
(Honda: Located below the air cleaner on the engine.)
THROTTLE Move the throttle control lever on the engine to fast posi-
tion. Pull starting rope to start engine
AERATING OPERATION
NOTE: NEVER PARK THIS UNIT ON A SLOPE OF ANY KIND. Always keep tines in the up position when
parking the unit.
ENGAGING DRIVE Squeeze the right-hand speed control lever for forward
motion and the left-hand speed control lever for reverse.
The harder you squeeze, the faster the machine will go.
Remember to only engage in reverse with the tines up.
TURNING This machine has in-ground turning. At the end of an
aerating run, turn the machine around while keeping the
forward speed control and clutch lever engaged to make
the next run. If a 3-point turn is desired, disengage the
clutch lever and depress the foot pedal to return the tines
to the transport (ensure tines are completely out of the
ground before lifting), then squeeze the left-hand speed
control lever to reverse the machine into position to make
the next run. Re-engage the clutch and forward speed
control to continue aerating.
TRANSPORTING Be sure to raise tines out of the ground (disengage the
clutch and depress the foot pedal) before transporting
away from the work area.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance should be performed at the following intervals:
*ENGINE MUST BE LEVEL WHEN CHECKING OR FILLING OIL
TIPS
• MOW - Mow the lawn to its normal cut height.
• WATER - For the best performance and maximum tine penetration the lawn should be thoroughly watered
the day before aeration.
• INSPECT -Check the lawn before beginning work. Remove all rocks, wire, string, or other objects that
can present a hazard during work prior to starting.
• IDENTIFY - Mark all xed objects to be avoided during work, such as sprinkler heads, water valves, bur-
ied cables, or clothes line anchors, etc.
• SLOPES - Do not operate the aerator on steep slopes (exceeding 15°). Use extreme caution when
operating on any sloped surface. For lesser sloped areas operate the unit, traversing up and down at a
45° angle to the slope rather than straight across. Extended operation on steep slopes can cause engine
damage.
NOTE: Honda engines are equipped with a low oil sensor to prevent engine damage. When it senses a low
oil condition (i.e. unit is operating or sitting on a steep slope) the engine shuts down. The low oil condition
must be corrected before the engine can be restarted. See the engine owner’s manual for more informa-
tion. For increased wheel traction, ll the on-board tank with water (approximately ve gallons).

Maintenance
INDIVIDUAL TINE REPLACEMENT
1. Wait for engine to cool and disconnect spark plug.
2. Loosen the jam nut then unscrew the tine.
3. Replace the tine making sure to use the maximum amount of threads on the tine.
4. Use a torque wrench to tighten to 100 ft-lbs.
NOTE: Tines are a normal wear item and should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage.
ADJUSTING DRIVE BELT TENSION
1. The drive belt tension can be adjusted with the eyebolt that is connected to the spring. Loosen the
eyebolt with two 9/16” wrenches. Spin the forewardmost nut towards the eyebolt. Tighten the rearmost nut
to stretch the spring which will increase the belt tension. Tighten the forwardmost nut down once proper
tension is achieved.
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect the spark plug.
2. Slide the tine drive belt off of the engine pulley and tuck it back toward the rear of the machine
3.Using a 3/8” ratchet and 6” extension or 3/8” break-over bar, insert the end of the extension into the
square hole on the idler arm. Push counterclockwise to stretch the spring and free the belt from the idler
pulley.
4. Disconnect the spring from the eyebolt and slide the idler arm toward the engine.
5. Walk the worn out/damaged belt off of the engine and transmission pulley and remove from machine.
(Note how the belt is routed before complete removal for ease in Step 6).
6. Re-install the new belt (Note: twist drive, make sure the “V” side of the belt in seated into each pulley to
ensure proper operation).
7. Reconnect spring to eyebolt
8. Use square hole to stretch spring and set the belt back into the pivoted idler.
9. Re-install tine drive belt on engine pulley.

to remove the 1/2” bolt (see Figure A, circled in yellow). Set hardware aside to be reattached later.
2. Detach the swing arm support bar. Use an impact/socket wrench tted with a 1/2” socket to remove the
four 5/16” bolts and associated hardware (see Figure A, circled in orange). Set hardware aside to be reat-
tached later. Remove the swing arm support bar. At this stage, your machine should appear as in Figure B.
