speed will vary as the distance increases or
decreases from the neutral position.
WARNING
The aerator tines are sharp and can
puncture your feet or other body parts.
Use extreme care when moving in reverse
so that you do not allow your feet to go
close to the tines. Watch for and avoid
obstacles you could trip over.

To make zero turns, pull up on the tine ground
engagement lever to raise the tines.
Important:
Do Not make a zero turn

bail.
Transporting
Transporting a Unit
WARNING
Loading the machine onto a trailer without
strong enough or properly supported ramps
could be dangerous. The ramps could collapse
causing the unit to fall, which could cause injury.
•
Use proper ramps that are secured to the
truck or trailer.
•
Keep feet and legs out from under the unit
when loading and unloading.
•
If necessary, use assistance when loading.
Use full width ramps when loading the machine.
Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is closed during
transport.
Use a heavy duty trailer to transport the machine.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer with straps,
chains, cables, or ropes. If possible, both front and
rear straps should be directed down and outward
from the machine.
Be sure that the trailer has all necessary lighting and
marking as required by law and use safety chains.
