Operating tips to follow when using your Craftsman aerator attachment

• Mow your lawn and remove loose clippings prior to aerating.
• Start the tractor engine with its controls in neutral and place the throttle at slow engine speed. Engage the shift lever at the lowest possible forward speed then lower the aerator, allowing plugger points to enter the turf.
• Increase tractor speed as conditions permit.
• Aerate in the straightest line possible, making overlapping passes to increase the plugger point pattern.
• Avoid extremely sharp turns with plugger points engaged in ground to prevent damage to lawn.
