If you wish to collect the soil cores, close the deflectors and place the container (an optional accessory) onto
the baseplate. To secure the container using the latches, (step 1) push the latch arm against the bottom of
the baseplate while (step 2) lifting the latch handle up against the container as shown in the left picture
above. The latch handle will snap securely into place if the height of the latch has been adjusted correctly.
If needed, readjust the tightness of the latches by adjusting the height of the latch bodies or bending the
latch arm (see step 5b in page 6).

OPERATING PROCEDURES
Tips: The aerator tines will penetrate the ground
only a few inches so it will typically not damage
underground sprinkler pipes because they are
typically buried much deeper. However, the
aerator tines may damage sprinkler heads. We
recommend flagging the sprinkler heads prior to
aerating so that you can avoid hitting them during
lawn aeration.
Lawn aeration procedures are as simple and
effortless as POSITION-STEP-TILT as follow:
POSITION: Determine a safe location to aerate,
position the aerator tines vertically, and place your
foot on the baseplate. If you are using the optional
soil core container, place your foot on the top plate
of the container.
