For use in areas with grass only; tines will clog if used in bare soil.  Please use a tiller or cultivator to loosen soil in bare area.

Although the tines are designed to prevent clogging in clay soil, the tines may still clog if the soil is too dry or too wet. Please aerate one day after at least one inch of rain or irrigation. If you have a sprinkler system, each sprinkler zone will need to run for 60-90 minutes. In other words, the soil must be very moist.

The tines are case-hardened for extra durability. They may be sharpened or replaced when worn.

Designed for operators between 4-feet and 6-feet 5-inches tall. Recommended minimum operator weight to use one set and two sets of tines are 80lbs and 150lbs, respectively. Recommended for aerating small yards or areas not accessible by motorized lawn aerators. It can be used to aerate large yards but will require significantly longer time and effort than a motorized lawn aerator.

This unit comes with an optional soil core container. A soil core remover is included. Aerate areas not accessible by motorized aerators. Designed for all kinds of soil, including heavy clay soil - make sure the soil is very moist but not wet.

100% satisfaction guaranteed. If you are not completely satisfied, we will refund the full purchase price and pay for the return shipping cost within the 30-day return period. Please remember to aerate when the soil is VERY MOIST only. Some assembly is required.

Optional soil core container: The soil core container allows you to collect soil cores during lawn aeration. Its primary purpose is to improve the ground level or drainage of your yard without killing the grass. By collecting soil cores from areas that are high and disposing the soil cores to areas that are low, you will gradually improve the ground level or drainage of your lawn over a period of several aeration seasons.

Helpful Hints for Step 'N Tilt Lawn Aerator:  If the tines clog, the soil may be too dry or too wet for aeration.  If the tines are unable to penetrate the ground and clogging, the soil is definitely too dry. Please aerate one day after one inch of rain or irrigation.
