MAINTENANCE
The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your Aerator clean and dry.
After the fi rst 30 minutes of use, check all fasteners for tightness.
Thereafter, periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
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.
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.
