Storage

Storage Safety

•
Store the machine on the storage stands
positioned on a firm, level surface so that it does
not sink or tip over.
•
Store the machine away from areas of human
activity.
•
Do not allow children to play on or around the
stored machine.

Storing the Machine

At the end of an aerating season or when the aerator
will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to
carry out the following preventative maintenance.
1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated on the machine or any of the
moving parts.
2. Remove and clean out the tines. Coat the tines
and tine fasteners with oil to prevent rusting
during storage.
3. Open the hood and clean out the inside of the
machine.
4. Lubricate all grease fittings and tine fastener
screw threads.
5. Store the machine on the provided storage
stands on a hard, dry surface.
6. Loosen the PTO clutch bolts 2 turns.
7. Connect the PTO safety chain to the aerator in
the stored position to prevent damage or remove
the PTO and store it under the hood to minimize
corrosion.
8. Paint the roller and touch up any other scratches
on the painted surfaces.
9. Replace any missing or damaged decals.
10. Store the aerator inside a dry, secure building.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance, give a
longer working life, and increase the residual
value of the machine. If inside storage is not
available, cover the machine with a heavy sheet
or tarpaulin and secure tightly.
