Operating Tips

Around Greens and Teeboxes:

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! When making turns, ALWAYS RAISE the aeration head first before turning.

• Survey the green before aerating. Remove all debris before aerating.
• Plan your direction to minimize turning and maneuvering around hazards at the end of a pass.
• Make the initial pass across the center of the green and work your way to the outside.
• Maintain consistent spacing while aerating a green by selecting a marking reference before starting.
• Do not make sharp turns. Raise aeration head out of ground to turn at the end of pass.

General Operating Practice

• If engine begins to labor or slow down when operating the machine in hard soil or going uphill, raise the aeration head slightly until the engine regains its speed.
• Wait to aerate if the soil is too hard and compacted. Aerate after rain or watering to achieve best results.
• Always carry extra tines and tools to replace a tine if it breaks while you are aerating.
