cause loss of control on slopes. Stopping
distance increases with speed and the
weight of the towed load.
CAUTION: Total towed weight must
not exceed combined weight of towing
vehicle, ballast and operator.

OPERATION
SPEED
The best operating speed
is 3 mph or less.
Maximum operating speed is 5 mph.
ADDING WEIGHT
- Bagged weight material can fall through
Tray Openings and be torn open or damaged by the
Tines. Use solid weight or close Tray Openings with
wood panel or by other suitable means.
- Weight should be added to the tray after attaching to the
towing vehicle. Weight should be secured by rope,
straps, or other suitable means to contain the weight in
the tray.
TINES
CAUTION: AVOID INJURY! Openings
in Tray allow access to Tines for cleaning
and service. Exercise caution when
working around Tray openings and avoid
placing body parts into the openings.
- Moderate soil moisture is important for proper tine
penetration. Extremely dry conditions will not permit tine
penetration and may damage the tines. Extremely wet
conditions will cause full penetration of tines (up to tine
bearings). This condition will cut slots in the turf.
- Tray Openings allow access to Tines for cleaning and
service only and are not to be used in any other
application.

Maximum capacity
of the Aerator Tray is

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.

Should this occur, remove the
looseness as follows:
- For rust appearing on painted surfaces, sand
lightly and paint affected area with enamel.
- Periodically remove debris that
builds up between Tines.
- Apply lubricating oil at each tine bearing and axle
bearing before use.
- Tines are manufactured with galvanized steel to resist
wear of abrasive soil. Striking objects can cause Tines
to curl or break. Contact Brinly-Hardy customer service
department to purchase replacement Tines.
- Apply a light coat of oil on tines
after use to prevent rust.

SÉCURITÉ
Faites preuve de prudence lorsque vous remorquez et/ou utilisez tout accessoire. La combinaison
de cet accessoire à la répartition du poids, au rayon de braquage et à la vitesse du véhicule
tracteur peut causer de graves blessures ou la mort du conducteur, des dommages au véhicule
tracteur et/ou à l’accessoire remorqué en cas d’utilisation inadéquate. Re-spectez toutes les
mises en garde de sécurité spécifiques au remorquage figurant dans le manuel du propriétaire
de véhicule tracteur, y compris les suivantes:
- Assurez-vous que le poids combiné du véhicule tracteur (poids du véhicule tracteur + poids du
conducteur) est supérieur au poids maximal de l’accessoire chargé (poids de l’accessoire vide +
poids du chargement).
- Ne dépassez pas la capacité de remorquage maximale du véhicule tracteur.
- Ne dépassez pas la capacité d’effort de traction maximale du véhicule tracteur. L’effort de traction est
la force horizontale nécessaire pour tirer l’accessoire (poids du chargement inclus).
- Remorquez uniquement ce produit en respectant le réglage du mode/vitesse de remorquage du
véhicule ou la vitesse maxi male de 8 km/h (5 mi/h). Ne dépassez pas la vitesse de 8 km/h (5 mi/h).
- La vitesse de remorquage doit toujours être assez lente pour conserver la maîtrise du véhicule.
Conduisez lentement et soyez prudent lorsque vous roulez sur un terrain accidenté. Évitez les nids-
de-poule, les pierres et les racines.
- Ralentissez avant de virer et évitez de tourner brusquement.
- Utilisez de grands angles de rotation pour vous assurer que l’accessoire remorqué suit la trajectoire
du véhicule tracteur.
- Évitez de remorquer l’accessoire sur des pentes raides. Un chargement important peut entraîner une
perte de contrôle ou le renversement de l’accessoire remorqué et du véhicule tracteur. Il peut s’avérer
nécessaire d’ajouter des poids supplémentaires à votre véhicule. Communiquez avec le fabri cant du
véhicule tracteur pour connaître ses recommandations.
- Réduisez le poids remorqué dans les pentes.
- Roulez lentement et progressivement sur les pentes. Ne faites pas de changements de vitesse, de
direction ou de virages brusques.
- Si vous démarrez et stoppez brusquement sur une pente, vous pouvez perdre la maîtrise du véhicule
ou le véhicule peut se renverser. Évitez de démarrer ou de stopper brusquement lors des descentes
ou des montées. Évitez les démarrages en côte.

- En marche arrière, reculez en ligne droite afin d'éviter les risques de mise en portefeuille. Évitez tout contact entre les roues
du véhicule tracteur et la barre de traction de l’accessoire remorqué. Cela pourrait provoquer des dommages.
- Arrêtez-vous sur une surface plane, désengagez les roues, serrez le frein de stationnement et arrêtez le moteur avant de
quitter le poste de conduite pour toute raison, y compris le déchargement de l’accessoire remorqué.
- N’utilisez cet accessoire que pour l’usage pour lequel il a été conçu.
- Cet accessoire est conçu pour être utilisé lors de l’entretien de pelouse et pour d’autres tâches domestiques. Ne le remorquez
pas derrière un véhicule sur l’autoroute ou à haute vitesse. Ne le remorquez pas à des vitesses dépassant l a vitesse de
remorquage maximale recommandée.
- Ne le remorquez pas derrière un véhicule motorisé, tel qu’une voiture ou un camion.
- Portez toujours des chaussures solides. Ne portez pas de vêtements amples qui risquent de s’enchevêtrer dans pièces mobiles.

du chargement remorqué. Déplacez-vous lentement et
assurez-vous d’avoir assez de temps et d’espace pour
vous arrêter.

Remorquez cet accessoire uniquement avec un
véhicule tracteur pourvu d’un attelage conçu pour le
remorquage. Attachez toujours l’accessoire au point
d’attelage approuvé.
- Respectez les recommandations du fabricant en matière
de limites de poids pour l’équipement remorqué et le

des masses d’équilibrage, tels que décrits dans le manuel
de l’opérateur du véhicule tracteur.

pourraient se blesser en se heurtant à des objets ou
en étant éjectés lors de départs, d’arrêts et de virages
soudains. Il se peut également que les passagers gênent
la visibilité du conducteur, ce qui rend l’opération du
véhicule dangereuse.
