STORAGE

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 aerator or any of the moving parts.

2. Remove the tines and clean out hollow tines. Coat

tines with oil to prevent rusting during storage.

3. Open the hood and clean out the inside of the

machine.

4. Lubricate all grease fittings.

5. Store the machine with the roller and castor wheel

standing on a hard, dry surface or board and block the

roller.

6. Remove PTO drive shaft and store under hood

7. Paint the roller and touch-up any other scratches

on the paintwork.

8. Replace any missing or damaged decals.

9. 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 with a

heavy sheet or tarpaulin and secure tightly.
