depth settings, as there is minimal clearance between
the tine head and the turf guards. Never operate with
the aerator angled rearward or damage to the turf
guards may occur.

In some instances, angling the aerator forward may
improve hole quality but will also reduce aeration
depth and gain clearance with the turf guards. A
forward angle of approximately 4° is a good initial
setting. Use a magnetic-based angle indicator to
determine the forward angle, or use the following
procedure:
A. Position the aerator on a flat level surface.
B. Make sure the aerator roller is on the ground and
the depth indicator is set at the desired setting.
C. Measure and record the distance from the ground
to the lower rear corner of the frame (“H1”) and
from the ground the front corner of the frame
(“H2.”)
D. Adjust the upper link until the difference between
“Hl”–”H2” matches the desired forward angle of
the aerator (See Angle Chart below).
