MAINTENANCE
Remove soil cores from the tines using the soil core remover prior to storage. Spray a thin coat of oil (WD-40 or
equivalent) on the inside surfaces of the tines after each use to prevent corrosion/rust. Corrosion on the inside surfaces
of the tines may impede core removal and cause clogging.
Occasionally, the fasteners may become loose. Tighten the fasteners as needed but do not over-tighten.
Through the normal use, the powder-coated finish on the aerating tines may deteriorate due to abrasion. In addition,
the aerator tines may become dull and require sharpening. The steel tines may be sharpened with a grinding wheel.
Due to its high hardness, the tines cannot be easily sharpened with a file. Alternatively, you may purchase replacement
