How to Aerate Lawn:
1.

before aerating.
3.
Do not aerate if ground is too wet or muddy.
4.
Attach lawn aerator to tractor using supplied Hitch Pin.

weight and/or reduce tractor speed as necessary to improve aeration.

Three standard concrete blocks (120 lbs), or other weights up to 120 lbs,
can be added to the top plate to increase aeration depth. Always secure
weights to top plate using straps (not provided).
