4. Insert the key into the ignition switch and rotate it
clockwise to start the engine. Release the key when the
engine starts. Gradually return the choke lever to the
OFF position (lever all the way in) after the engine
starts and warms up.
Important
To prevent overheating of the starter motor,
do not engage the starter longer than 30 seconds. After 30
seconds of continuous cranking, wait 2 minutes before
engaging the starter motor again.
Important The engine is equipped with an oil pressure
interlock switch which interrupts the engine operation if
there is not sufficient oil pressure in the engine during
starting or operation. The engine may start but will not
continue to run due to a lack of oil pressure.
5. To stop the engine, move the throttle control downward
to the SLOW position and turn the ignition key to OFF.
Remove the ignition key.

Training Period

Before aerating with the machine, it is suggested that you
find a clear area and practice starting and stopping, raising
and lowering machine, turning, etc. This training period
will be beneficial to the operator in gaining confidence in
the performance of the aerator.

Water Supply

Recommended source with 7–8 gallons per minute. A
minimum pressure of 30 p.s.i. at the machine is required for
the pump to engage. Maximum allowable pressure of 200
psi. Although irrigation water pumped from ponds or
effluent holding pools can be used, not all conditions can be
handled by the filtration system. Additional or alternative
filtration may be required.

Operating Procedure

1. Make sure that the wires are installed on the spark plugs
and the fuel shut-off valve is open.
2. Uncoil a garden hose, making sure that there are no
kinks or bends in the hose. Lay out the hose so that
there are no obstructions between the machine and the
area to be aerated. Turn on the water supply to purge
any air from the hose. Turn off the water.
3. Connect the hose adapter (Fig. 9) to the garden hose,
then connect the adapter to the quick coupler on the side
of the machine.

4. Turn on the water supply and check the water pressure.
The water pressure must be at least 30 p.s.i.. If the
system pressure is not 30 p.s.i., make sure that the hose
is not kinked or obstructed, the water supply is turned
on, and the water filter is not plugged.
Do not operate the engine while bleeding the filter
head.
5. Reach under the fuel tank and press the bleed button on
top of the water filter head (Fig. 10). Hold the bleed
button down until all air is purged from the filter and
water comes out of the opening.
