- Description: Agri-Fab 40″ (1016 mm) Tow-Behind Plug Aerator
- Editorial: Aerate compacted soil to promote new grass growth and enjoy a golf course like
- lawn. Ideal for use with many brands of lawn tractor type ride-on lawn mowers
- including but not limited to selected Cox, Craftsman, Dixon, Greenfield, Husqvarna,
- John Deere, Jonsered, McCulloch, MTD, Murray, Poulan Pro and Rover ride-on lawn
- mower models etc.
- Aerating means pulling small soil plugs, ranging up to three inches in length, from
- the soil to create small reservoirs that will bring oxygen, fertilizer and water
- down into the roots. For best aerator performance, the following lawn preparations
- and operating procedures are recommended.
- OPERATION: CAUTION: POINTS OF AERATOR KNIVES ARE SHARP! EXERCISE CAUTION AT ALL
- TIMES WHILE USING THE AERATOR.
- 1. Mow lawn and remove loose clippings prior to use of lawn aerator.
- 2. Start the lawn tractor engine with controls in neutral and place throttle at a
- slow engine speed.
- 3. Engage shift lever at the lowest possible forward speed and lower aerator,
- allowing plugger points to enter the ground. Increase speed as conditions permit.
- 4. Aerate in the straightest line possible, making overlapping passes to increase
- the plugger point pattern.
- 5. Avoid extremely sharp turns with plugger points engaged in ground to prevent
- damage to lawn.
- 6. DO NOT cross over foot paths or drive ways without first raising the aerator to
- the transport position.
- 7. On sloped lawns, always aerate in an up and down direction. DO NOT attempt to
- follow the contour of the ground.
- 8. To increase the depth of plugger point penetration, up to 140 lb (63.5 Kg) of
- weight, such as bags of sand or (4) concrete blocks, may be added to the tray. The
- weight can be secured to the tray with ties or straps fastened to the front and
- rear of the tray. Fasten so that the ties or straps cannot become entangled on
- rotating parts.
- 9. If the ground is extremely hard and dry, it is recommended that it be sprinkled
- or watered down for one or two hours prior to aerating.
- 10. DO NOT attempt to aerate if ground is too wet, (muddy).
- 11. Due to small rocks and gravel which are normally present in aerated soil plugs,
- it is recommended that the plugs be raked; otherwise damage to the lawn mower
- blades may arise, especially when reel type mowers are used.
