USE AND CARE
MODEL:
PSA-18BH
PSA-18BH-A
USE & CARE SECTION
Your Aerator-Spreader should not be used when lawn conditions are too
wet or too dry. This can be determined by digging a small amount of soil
(about three inches deep) and checking it.
WHEN TO USESPECIFICATIONS
Recommended
MAXIMUM Speed ........ 3 mph
Aeration Depth ..........Up to 2”
Working Width .............. 18”
Weight
Weight Capacity ........ 35 lbs
Aerator Weight
(unloaded) ............. 20 lbs
FREQUENCY
Lawn aeration is not accomplished
in a single pass. It will normally take
several passes over the lawn.
Alternating the direction by 90 degrees
will improve the aeration effect. The
Aerator may be used in an independent
operation or may be used when mowing your lawn.
If soil appears damp, roll it in the
palm of your hand.
If soil
appears
powdery &
brittle - it’s
too dry.
Wait until
a later
date, after
a rainfall.
!
If the soil forms
a ball and falls
apart when it
hits the ground,
it is in ideal
condition.
If the soil forms a
ball that doesn’t break
up when it hits the
ground, it is too wet.
Wait until a later date for
soil to dry some.
