OPERATION MAINTENANCE Aerating means pulling small soil plugs, ranging up to three inches in length, from the soil to create small reservoirs that will bring oxygen, fertilizer and water down into the roots. For best aerator performance, the following lawn preparations and operating procedures are recommended. 1. Plugger points can periodically be sharpened with a small grinder to maintain good penetration. Points should be removed to sharpen. Follow original angle and contour of points when grinding. 2.
