Maintenance and Service Instructions
When operating on hills you should consider the following:
(A)Operate the machine up and down the hills rather than across them.
(B)Use the rear wheel depth/stability control knob to set the rear wheels for extra stability. This can be a great benefit when you do choose to run the aerator across a hill. An added benefit of using the rear wheel depth control when aerating across a hill is that you will improve the consistency of the cores pulled from the uphill tines when compared to those pulled by the downhill tines.
(C)Removing the downhill weight reduces
(D)Remove remaining weight from downhill side to uphill side after each pass when operating across hills.
WARNING: NEVER DISENGAGE TINES FROM GROUND WHEN TRAVELLING UP OR DOWN HILL. ONLY DISENGAGE ON FLAT SURFACE.

CAUTION: DO NOT LIFT AERATORS.
