drag or catch on trailer ramp. To prevent push rods from
being bent, remove the two lowest positioned tines.
Fasten aerator to trailer to prevent rolling or shifting
during transport.
Long Distance Trailering / Transport. If the aerator is
to be trailered on the highway, before strapping to trailer,
inflate tires to:
Front - 22 psi (152 kPa).
Rear - 22 psi (152 kPa).
After unloading aerator, reduce tire pressure to normal
